Good morning. good morning. Happy Friday, everybody. Welcome to our weekly meet at the
clubhouse. Hope you all are doing fantastic. We are just starting our day. We are just
starting our morning for many of us. Many of you, it may be the afternoon. Who knows
where you are in the time zone of the world. We have Illa back in the house with us shortly.
He will be arriving and pulling up,
excited to have our friend back here at the clubhouse with us
so we can talk about all the different stuff he's been up to,
if he wants to share all the stuff that we're looking forward to
because ApeFest is only three months away.
Time goes so fast.
It's just around the corner.
Lots of planning, lots of fun stuff happening. A lot of great community members out there doing
all sorts of great stuff. I see you guys putting out so much content daily and it is really,
really appreciated. We got Illa in the house. Illa, good morning. Give him a second to adjust.
Everyone out there, you're all welcome to come up. Today, we have no particular special
guests. You're all special guests in a matter of speaking. You're all welcome to come up. Today, we have no particular special guest.
You're all special guests in a matter of speaking.
You're all welcome to come up.
Tell us what you're working on, what you're cooking.
It's going to be a fun time to hang out.
Illa, what's good?
Welcome back.
Happy Friday, buddy.
Yo, yo, yo.
Man, it feels like a damn minute.
It's been, what, two weeks?
We had the vacation week, and last week i was out enjoying my actual vacation but i still i was i was tuned in last week man it was a it was fire to to see us control the timeline like it felt really good for us to control that timeline
man there was a lot of action on the timeline. And we were definitely front and center.
And it feels really good, man.
You know, without a doubt, the club has turned around.
The energy and the space has turned around.
And, yeah, we fought the good fight.
And we're here, man, leading the charge.
How are you feeling, Barron?
I'm actually looking for the post that the Ape Chain team put out yesterday.
You know, the Curtis and
Pudgy, they were caught at Coldplay concert. And, uh, I just wanted to pin that above for you guys.
But in the meantime, you know, I did get a lot of feedback from everybody, not everybody,
quite a few people in the club, uh, telling me how to do the stream on spaces so that we can get
that bubble for whatever reason. Uh, it doesn't work that way for us here.
So we made it through mobile, like all the recommendations, no bubble.
So what I did was I still pinned it up above.
I don't know why that happens, but it is what it is,
and we make the best of it, so not a big deal.
Share out the link up above.
Let everyone know it's time to meet at the clubhouse
and hang out with the homies.
You know what, guys?
We're not going to tell you.
I don't – Illa, how about this? Let's not tell them what we're going to do next meet at the clubhouse and hang out with the homies. You know what, guys? We're not going to tell you. I don't, Illa, how about this?
Let's not tell them what we're going to do next meet at the clubhouse.
But we will let you know that next meet at the clubhouse has the potential to be very
different and interesting.
Yeah, everyone, every single meet at the clubhouse is like a weekly adventure.
And next week is not going to disappoint
so make sure y'all y'all stay tuned y'all stay tapped in because it's definitely going to be
a very special meet at the clubhouse man you know one of these one of these meetings the clubhouse
we got we got to get gordon in here man like we got to get him in here, man. Like, we got to get him in here.
Like, we need him in here.
We got to keep trying, man.
You know, listen, it's – Illa, I'm going to defer to you because you have more time on the team
and maybe you could pull that off.
Because, you know, when Garga showed up,
that was one of the biggest turnouts we may have ever had.
If Garga and Gordon show up, oh my God, you better believe it.
Also, I don't know if I can say,
here's the problem with being like pre-announcement for some stuff.
I don't know what I'm allowed to say right now.
Like there's some shit I really almost just said.
And I was like, oh, i don't know if that's
like a secret or if it's like the timing or so instead what we're gonna do is we're gonna say
what's up to machiavelli what's good happy friday what's up buddy yo good morning board avi club
man listen i'm just in a good mood man we're going through spotlight right now on ape chain
the market is pumping the The vibes are high.
Yo, we're watching everything that we've been thinking for the past few years kind of manifest in front of us.
And yo, man, what a time to be alive and be participating, man.
It truly is a surreal time.
Appreciate you coming up.
And you know what?
I got to give you a shout out yesterday.
I heard you singing your brains out on the Grateful Show.
So shout out to you and your incredible singing boys, bro.
That shit was amazing.
Thank you, sir.
Yeah, man.
Yo, I'm just having fun.
You know, that's what we got to do.
We got to have fun.
You know, what a time to be alive, man.
And yo, I got a few thought bubbles.
Hold on.
I got to jump in real quick.
I see hype throwing thumbs down.
I just got to acknowledge that because that shit is hilarious.
You guys are flip-brim brothers.
Be cool.
Bro, he's a flutter, bro.
But I got a few thought bubbles about next week's meet at the clubhouse.
You know what I'm saying?
Yeah, hit us with your thought bubbles.
Yo, I hope we go into the bubble. i hope we go into the bubble i hope we go into the other
side i want to meet at the motherfucking clubhouse we're three years in since the first trip
i got my ape i got my code i got my deed let me in let me in let me in yeah shout out to maca
maca is one of them them people online and in real life
has amazing energy.
So excited that he's part of the club,
man. He brings the energy
24-7.
Every single day.
And I know that when the clubhouse
opens, he's
going to be there. Macca's definitely going
to be there, bro. I already know that.
Yo, man, I can't wait.
Yo, which clubhouse?
RL or RL?
Bro, listen, I'll probably move to
Miami for the first six months just
to go hang out over there.
Dead ass and be a regular.
You know?
I mean, I believe you because I almost thought the same shit.
I was like, hey, maybe I should move to
Miami for six months. I'm too old to be sharing an apartment with grown-ass men i'm
sorry i love you but uh i got a house in houston i'm not gonna like move out of my house you know
i'm saying i'm just gonna go vacation for six months and this market's making it look like
it really easy to do it yeah no we no, we can maybe talk about it.
We got to be deep over some shots or something for me to even consider that.
But that's what Vegas is all about.
You know, you got to shoot your shot.
You never know where it's going to land.
The closer we get to Vegas, what I've really enjoyed is hearing all the community events that are starting to pop up, right?
And so one of the things uh that boris and i have
is a ape fest community uh form so if you're interested in throwing an ape fest community
event hit me or boris in the dms uh so we can give you that google form so you can sign up
put your event that you're you're gonna host whatever on there so that we can get you onto
that uh social calendar so we can amplify let everyone know what's going on.
I know a lot of people are cooking up dope stuff. I know the club itself is cooking up some dope
stuff besides what's been announced still. So look forward to that. I love when Gargo posts shit. I'm
like, what did Gargo say on Wednesday that I could tease? That other brand thing, Illa. I mean,
I know you know it. People are going to be happy, I think.
One other brand thing.
See, this is what I have to feel like we're speaking riddles.
I need Cam or I need Juan or I need Chad or I need Illa to jump in and cut me off so I don't stick my.
I need some other information.
Oh, you know what we could do right now?
We could say good morning to Hype because Hype just came up probably to throw some jabs.
So Hype, good morning.
Welcome up.
How you doing, buddy?
Happy Friday.
Yo, what up, boys?
No, no, no.
The reason I was throwing thumbs down is because I couldn't hear Mac sing.
And because Mac couldn't sing, next time he's got to do the whole entire song.
Loving you is easy because you're beautiful.
Hold up.
Pause, pause, pause, pause, bro.
I'm Canadian, bro.
I need to hear some Celine Dion full-time in effect.
I think she's still, nah, she ain't playing in Vegas no more.
So maybe you need to take up residency, bro.
Maybe you take her spot in Vegas and we come watch you sing live.
I think I'm not gonna lie if if there is ever if somebody's working on a byc animated pic uh film you gotta have mac as a as a voice man that he's got one
of the funniest that's when he just sang i'm like holy shit yeah he looked had a little like uh was it
um pumbaa or timon the the warthog from um what's that fucking lion king
yeah a little bit of that right tell you that i want that i want you and lord lord and you need
to do all shit yeah for sure for sure lord and Mac, I'm trying to tell you.
Whoever's working on that.
Welcome to the Lord Mac show.
I'll watch that.
I'll tune in.
Trying to tell you.
Yo, me and Lord Lord have a good time every time.
It's a special voice.
Voice actors, they get paid what they do for a reason.
Not everyone can be a voice actor.
And Mac has got it, bro.
Mac has got it. NFT,'s got it nft drew what's
going on homie happy friday happy friday gmg i'm at the airport so i got like 30 seconds but
i just wanted to tell everyone the airdrop season's back uh long and behold apes were able to eat with
caldera and a few other things in the pipeline.
So I saw a bunch of apes complaining that they didn't know and just wanted to make sure everyone knew that we always post them in Apes Plus.
And we're not posting the ones where you get $10 for some, I think, sleazy marketing kind of airdrop scheme.
It's legit stuff.
So make sure everyone's in there because apes are eating.
Yeah, if y'all don't know, Aes plus has been around for a year or two now probably more on the two-year side now so uh they've always
kind of just been in their background looking for opportunities to help apes figure out how to
optimize their apeness let's say it that way so uh shout out to you drew on the timeline i did see
that caldera post instead of me claiming it I shared it with everyone and then got too busy that I forgot.
So shout out to PP Man and all the others who were posting and giving us FOMO.
But it is dope to see that it's back.
Illa, were you able to grab any?
No, I was literally offline for the last two weeks.
Just getting my mental health right man but i what
is that like to have mental health i don't know that one it is truly amazing it is really incredible
um this space can be extremely draining at times right um and to be online all the time and
you gotta like and we always say touch grass,
but we say that as we're online,
like you really have to fucking just sometimes disconnect
and just be in a vibe.
So I literally was just in Newport beach for two weeks,
just up there.
See right when Illa went to say what he was doing i thought i was like i was out newport doing
see and that's when you know he's doing something cool because like god universe didn't even want
us to hear it you know that's how it is i think illa's uh rugged right now so we'll wait for him
to pop back up in the meantime let's keep going around saying what's up to some of the homies
who else we got up here let's say what's up to grateful good morning happy friday friday
legends oh my god such a beautiful day here guys it's incredible so i had 15 coffees let's go but
i'll talk about mental health i I worked 50% on that.
So I'm just mental right now.
So we need to figure out a second part of that.
Yo, my bad.
I was texting Ila about getting rugged and I didn't hear anything you said.
I said you're great, bro.
I said you are amazing, man.
I said you're amazing.
Listen, all I heard was like 18 copies,
and I said, shit, I'm losing.
Here's a list of the people I'm very excited to see next at ApeFest.
I want to see Grateful, and I want to see Tino and Beast.
I want to see Captain and Steve.
I want to see J-Bahn and Zier.
I'm just naming people that I remember giving hugs last year at ApeFest
and being really excited about and just hoping to run it back one more time, you know, and seeing new
faces who we haven't seen, maybe seeing someone that we kind of, we locked eyes with last year,
maybe we acknowledged, but we didn't say hello to this year. That's what I'm looking forward to is,
is, you know, it's always nice to see the old friends but i think the part that really always is really
fucking exciting is the new friends that you get to meet right like the people who come in with
such vigor and excitement and you're like oh shit okay i i had no idea there was this other amazing
group of uh people in the club and that's always super fun to find out so um grateful what are you most excited about as this is your third april second
third man i don't know nyc lisbon hong kong that's it probably like so fourth fourth eight fest
i'm always excited to meet you guys like that's the highlight every time right and uh everything
around is amazing you know we will have so much fun.
But I'm the most excited to meet all of you.
I didn't know that Machiavelli is such a great singer.
So I can't wait for him performing live during the Ape Fest night.
And it's going to be a banger.
Can't wait to see you again, guys.
Like, you know, I see so many familiar faces here in the audience.
So it will be a banger.
Yeah.
And let's see if we got to get those face tattoos, man.
I think it's like 50-50.
Well, I will say there is odds you will hear Machiavelli singing to you at Ape Fest.
The odds are high.
If that's on Ape's Predict, I would bet yes.
Spend, is that on Apes Predict that Machiavelli will be singing love songs to Grateful at Ape Fest?
Knowing him, he probably already put it up there and seeded it with 200K, so you better go ahead and slam the yes on that one.
How you living, homie? Welcome up. Happy Friday.
Let's just jump into it man and and talk ape
chain and then we'll continue to go around say what's up to some of the other homies up here
but we'll start with spend because we do have froglings up here which is an ape chain
project we're all just integrated now we're all just fam we're all just having a good time
together so spend tell us what's good what did we miss last week what are we looking forward to
this week t GMGM.
Yeah, Frogling's on top.
Ape Chan on top as always.
I think the biggest thing, I just pinned it up to the top.
We are gearing into the fifth or fourth day of Spotlight Simply Built Different.
This one is a quicker stint.
So if you haven't tapped in yet, please go ahead and do so.
You still have a great opportunity to climb up the leaderboards. If you just come on in,
complete your quest, knock out the social quest and check out the markets that we've
submitted around, you know, ape chain communities around greater topics happening in the space.
and then also just things outside of our crypto Twitter bubble.
And then also just things outside of our, you know, crypto Twitter bubble. So,
So this season is around a legendary builder.
I believe you may have chatted with him up here once or twice,
but Simple Farmer, he's a member of the club.
He took Ape Chain by storm.
His Clutch Markets platform is a novel, unique platform. There's nowhere else where you can make parlays on markets across Polymarket, FanDuel, DraftKings.
If you want to bet on politics, if you want to bet on sports, if you want to bet on the next hurrah that's happening across, this is the place to do it.
And that's only one-third of what Spotlight is because we are also highlighting the Apes Predict section where it's a little bit more degen, a little bit more wild where the intern is coming in, spinning up some questions.
The community is getting rewarded for dropping their market submissions.
The ones that turn into actual markets, they'll get a nice little multiplier bonus and the intern sees it.
So when the intern sees it, that means there's liquidity on both sides.
That means if you're coming in and placing a bet on something you feel confident,
there is some money on the table for you, some ape on either side.
So I think this season is a bit different than last.
We've included meme coins.
NFTs are a little bit scaled down on the multiplier.
So you do need to kind of game that and figure out what's best for you to climb up the
leaderboards. But, you know, outside of that, I think it's a pretty exciting season. I would keep
your eyes peeled. We'll be rolling out more markets, more topics. And yeah, I would say,
you know, just stay active, stay engaged. I pinned it up to the top. That was our main go-live post.
Right under there, you can find the medium with a brief overview of all the things you need to know.
As always, if you have any questions, we're an open door.
Jump into the ApeCoin Discord.
Jump into the TG.
Come on, man.
There's about a week and a half left.
There's some dope prizes.
The last thing I want to touch on is this time there are on-chain raffles.
So somebody in the top 100 will bring home a Bored Ape.
That's not even getting into the top 10 prizes.
That's somebody in the top 100 that you could easily do right now if you just log in and knock out 15 quests, 16 quests,
and keeping your eyes peeled throughout the next week.
So there's opportunity there, man.
And outside of that, just have fun. keeping your eyes peeled throughout the next week so there's opportunity there man uh and outside
of that you know just have fun uh and yeah any feedback as always uh we're all ears for
i love it man um finally back shout out to twitter for cutting me off when i said touch grass they're
like nah you're trying to get people leave the platform fuck you illa but yeah I'm always a big fan of spotlight man and and I'm a huge fan
that we're highlighting amazing builders on from the community that are actually building novel
novel things in the novel products in the space so shout out to to spotlight and your hodler man
I don't know I seen you in the crowd yesterday I don't know. I seen you in the crowd yesterday.
I don't know if you heard.
I threw you that alley, man.
You're going to have to pull up to Alpha Code Space sometime next week and give the crowd the 411 on all things Ape Chain.
Make sure all the apes that are here at the clubhouse,
make sure y'all pull up to that space when Hodler goes in
and tells the rest of the Web3 community about all things that's happening on the Ape chain.
Because they're very interested, man.
And to me, there's nobody that has more of the info and the sauce
than my brother Hodler Collective.
They were like, oh, yeah, I hope he can handle the heat.
I'm like, yeah, right, okay.
Oh, yeah, okay. You know, they he can handle the heat i'm like yeah right okay oh yeah okay
yeah shout out to who's big
yeah shout out to who's big because he's there every day he pulls up every day they were like
yo illa you know you i don't know if you know but y'all
need to give uh y'all need to hire who's big because he shows up every day on repping ape
chain i'm like man see you got the troops out on the front line so yeah definitely want to give who
is big his flowers man hey you got to give who's big hey come on you got to give who's big the
flowers it's not hot anywhere out here that we can't handle.
And the hottest place right now is honestly Apes Predict.
If you guys are hanging out on Clutch, you should be.
There's quests there.
But Apes Predict is really where, I mean, a lot of the magic is happening.
Yes, there's going to be hundreds of thousands of dollars in sweeps hitting the Ape Chain NFT market at the end of the season,
which is only two weeks, which is like before the end of the month.
So coming very soon, again, hundreds of thousands of dollars in sweeps hitting the Ape Chain NFT market for the winning communities.
Right. This is a reward. This is a prize. It could be sweeps. It could be bids.
One way or another, that liquidity is hitting the Ape Chain NFT market.
Plus, there's the individual litter board. I mean, there's some mysteries up there.
The top three, they're a little ambiguous. They're a little mystery. You could win the
intern's whole starter pack. I don't know what this MF has got over there, but if you saw the
last tweet from the ApeCoin account, you probably want that starter pack because this dude is
cooking. The other thing is, like Spen just said, these markets are being seeded and you can submit
the markets. So the intern's got markets being seeded with 10,000 ApeCoin each. When Apes Predict, when I opened
Apes Predict at the start of this week, there was like $5,000 of liquidity locked into the platform.
Right now, there's $130,000 locked into the platform. $130,000. And it's not even the end
of the third day. It's not even the start. It's not even the end of the third day. It's not even the start.
It's not even the end of the first week. And you guys have been submitting some fucking cooked
markets, some like boring ass markets. I'm not going to lie. We found a way to get 10 approved
every single day. We've got 10 approved every day. That's a hundred thousand dollars that the
communities unlocked every single day during spotlight so far, because each of those markets
is going to get on apes predict and get funded with up to 10,000 ApeCoin. So if you guys aren't
submitting ApeCoin, I mean, at markets, I mean, this ApeCoin stays locked up, but every good
market you guys could submit, that's up to 10,000 ApeCoin that gets unlocked and seeded into those
markets. And you guys could get some free fucking money in here. I mean, the two that opened up
yesterday, will Diddy drop a public statement before September 1st? This
motherfucker hasn't been seen since
the trial in New York.
I mean, I guess it's a gamble, but
this could damn near be
free money. How do you pronounce Rita's
name? I might have just fucked up
just now. I don't even know.
There's free fucking money on this
platform. All you gotta do
is go and look at apes for dick.
Like dog,
listen,
I gotta tell you when I read the Rita or writer one,
I was very confused myself because it's so obvious,
which is the correct one that I thought it was like,
are you guys fucking with me?
Is this a trick?
Like,
you know,
and I really had to think about it.
Like,
are they trying to like Jedi mind trick me somehow?
And like, I don't understand the joke.
And I think I stared at that particular prediction for like 20 minutes just thinking like, well, I know the answer.
But but are they fucking with me?
So maybe what is the answer, though?
Because I've heard people call Rita.
It's like Moe Ryder.
It's his favorite song.
You know, the song like. Don't listen to Grateful. That's not it. That's not favorite song you know the song like don't listen to grateful that's not
it that's not it see what i'm saying this is no he said it much confusion bro and rita rita rita
see i said it i just did it my damn self and baron you did it too you're like rita rita
no i because i know it's i know it's... I know. It's like Rita Book.
He will literally answer to both.
That's what makes it more confusing.
Well, because he got tired.
It's like a ride a horse.
Come on.
I'm grateful to start a fuck with the betting now.
I'm English native speaker, guys.
I know how it's pronounced.
So be careful.
Be careful.
Well, I thought that was free money.
One way or another, there's a lot of money.
So last thing, just keep submitting those markets, you guys.
All you got to do is put market submission on Ape Chain and throw your ID out there.
Will Barron and Ella keep hosting the clubhouse space for the rest of the year?
Maybe.
I don't know.
The Twitter is trying to take Ella out on us.
So, I mean, maybe that's the way.
Submit your markets.
You could unlock up to 10,000 ApePoint per market for the community.
You guys can go in there and get that free money.
Spotlight.
I will tell you, Lost, I was genuinely confused and upset that no one had put up a prediction.
Will Barron have pink hair at ApeFest?
I felt like that was a dunk.
All right.
I'm going to just dox this one.
Somebody actually submitted that after you said it.
Like, I'm in a couple chats with Baron.
Baron, like, put this up there.
He put it out there again.
We wrote it down.
We were going to put it up.
And then someone literally submitted the market in public.
So we were like, is someone in our fucking chats?
Like, did Baron leak this?
I don't even fucking care.
They're getting rewarded.
We're not giving.
I mean, there's nothing to give Baron.
So, like, we're rewarding the guy who submitted the market to baron said he wanted a hundred percent
all right well i feel better now uh grateful go for it yeah we can also do a bet if grateful
we'll have more hair so if i should book a trip to to turkey istanbul man
submit that
submit that yo hype go for it
yo hype go for it
can I just say the greatest color on earth
is on stage

I only see Army Green.
I was a little confused. I see Rita.
I see Sheba.
I see some legends rocking Army Green.
This is the most pink apes I've seen on stage ever.
You know, this has been fun.
Honestly, at this point, guys, I don't even know how to talk shit to you guys in person
but here's what i am looking forward to oh god damn it i can't say that yet

I'm definitely hitting G's nuts.
Yeah, no nut shots either.
I forgot.
God, dog.
Listen, come protected and cover everything that you don't want to welt on.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm not covering shit.
There's a market that says something about a streaker for Ape Fest.
I'm taking my chances during the paintball game.
Fuck it.
See you there.
Hey, man, walk.
What's good?
Happy Friday.
What's up, buddy?
Dude, these predictions are going to make Ape Fest so fun.
Like, everything's just hitting perfectly leading up to Ape Fest. I'm so excited. We're going to make ApeFest so fun. Everything's just hitting perfectly leading up to ApeFest. I'm so excited.
We're going to have streakers.
We're going to have...
I think I kind of know what you're talking about, Baron,
without saying it.
It's Rita, by the way.
It's Rita.
But yeah, I know what you're saying.
Welcome, Ryda.
Welcome, Ryda.
I just heard
we need to come and do some shit talking about the fucking orange background,
so I just came up.
Somebody did the bat signal somewhere.
Well, I thought we were appreciating Pink's Apes, and now all of a sudden we got, I mean,
we still got three orange backgrounds.
It's like table stakes that the majority of the people in the room is orange.
Like, pink is like a hot second place, which like, first place because orange is always fucking here.
So, like, cool?
Welcome.
Bro, there's no cooler name than Grayfield.
Nah, I'm evening it up.
I'm evening it up.
We got a legend up here.
So it was one, two, three, four.
Four orange backgrounds now.
Game over.
Game, set, match.
And you guys know you can't have orange without yellow, so
don't forget that. That's a fact.
That's a fact. You know, that's five.
So it's five. Is there a place
where I can apply for being
a co-host on being at the clubhouse?
Wapy, wapy, baby!
Yeah, exactly, bro.
Exactly grateful. You know what I mean, right?
Okay, so... Baronon what are you doing
man you have an army greens could you clean this thing up i'm fucking sitting over dying laughing
is what i'm doing um this is why i love me at the clubhouse honestly it's 7 30 in the morning and my
face hurts from smiling what a better there's no better way to wake up is there like hanging out
with a bunch of friends from all over the world.
You're not in my living room, but I sure as hell am.
Drinking out of another Space FM mug.
Just fucking enjoying the morning with some people from all over the world.
I'm going to throw it to Joyce.
How are you? Welcome up. How are you doing?
Happy Friday.
Good morning, good morning.
Everything is great.
I came up here for a couple of reasons.
One is to point out, but somebody beat me to it,
how many oranges are on the stage,
and that orange really always shows up.
And the syndicate is powerful.
Oh, Rita, come on.
Rita, Rita, Rita, Rita, Rita.
Or is it Ryder?
It's Rita.
Did we lose?
Yeah, I think we lost it.
Yeah, we're having a rug sitch.
Is Batteeth up here?
I see he's requesting it.
Come on now.
Where the...
Aqua, show up, bro.
Come on, where are you down there?
I see all you.
Bull market.
Get your ass up here, bro.
Come on, Abe.
Abe, well, come on.
Yeah.
These guys.
But guys, I want to do something that I really like.
Spence and Ila's leopard fur.
It's amazing.
Wow. Really? Unbelievable. like uh spence and illas leopard fur it's amazing wow really unbelievable this guy you know that
dirty tank top you're wearing before you come for the king do you see my token gator hat come on man
yeah you gonna end up in in in the in the gator alcatraz over here talking that nonsense with
that booger sugar shirt literally how many how annoying is this all these orange are just requesting up like bad teeth and
jumping they came to rally for you guys yo look at this clubhouse dates full of orange bro
that's right absolutely not that's right bad teeth what's good happy friday buddy how you doing gmgm i don't know
about the 7 a.m time you guys are killing me but it's fun to listen this morning happy to be here
yeah we made it it's it's it you know you got coffee and captain then you got um what is it
you got joints and oj with with baron and illa at the clubhouse. So pick your poison, man.
You go up with the coffee and captain,
then you mellow out with Joints and OJ,
with Cush and Orange Juice with Illa and Baron.
Yo, I feel like that could be happening at Ape Fest,
like on a morning or something.
You know what I'm saying?
Hey, you know what?
We could, Illa.
You know, last year we did a meet at the clubhouse at Convento maybe we do a meet at the clubhouse at like a a smoke lounge like you know a cannabis
consumption lounge or something and we just like do it there that could be sick as fuck i think
you just do it at like 6 a.m and there'll be plenty of people that are still up from the night
before so that that'll probably work best just do it in the lobby of the hotel that we're staying at and just pull up, invite all the strangers around us to join.
That's a good way to amplify the situation, I think.
I think that'd be fire because there'll be a lot of people and we just gather and talk about the night out.
And then the apes that didn't make it out, y'all can come downstairs and hear all about the dope shit y'all missed.
Yeah, could be a vibe.
Are you calling out showbiz for sleeping
hey man you know he's an orange he's an orange general so if he needs some sleep he can get
some sleep but there's a lot of orange apes up here bad teeth what's up brother how you feeling
man i am good illa it's good to hear you glad you got to uh touch some real grass and uh yeah just been been chilling working
on a and k and uh trying to get my shit together for spotlight that's that's been the plan
yo i minted two of your um uh two pieces from your collection yesterday and it was super interesting
because it kind of was unexpected what came up and i thought that was the coolest part to me where
i was talking to your bot, asking questions,
doing kind of what I'm supposed to.
And all of a sudden it was like, boom, here's some art.
Do you want a minute?
And I'm like, oh, this is super fucking sick.
So shout out to you, man.
I'm glad I finally got a chance to try it out.
It seemed like you had four phases.
I don't know if it's all over or all done with or what,
but really enjoyed the process.
Thanks, Barron. That is the idea. It's like, can you do something a little different and can we
create art together? So I saw you post. Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. Fourth phase
is still running right now. We got 160-ish minutes left before the public phase closes. So if anyone wants to check it out, it's 11Ape.
Link is pinned in my bio.
Would love to get all the apes in here before we get through the end of this phase.
I would love to ask a question.
It might stir the pot a little bit, and I'm sorry if it does, but maybe I'm not sorry.
I really don't care.
And maybe this is more directed to Lost or NGB or kind of anyone else on
stage, but you know, 11, eight point is like $8.
That's a really, really affordable price point. And, uh, I'm curious,
why are there no, why aren't there,
why aren't we seeing more projects coming out in the like, you know,
0.08, like 250 dollar 500 dollar range on
a change why are we in the like 5 10 dollar range for mints and and drops i'm just curious like is
there an established reason will be 300 ape usd plus just so you're aware right now i guess but
like my question is like i feel kind of like it's, and I hope you're being serious.
I'm dead at serious.
And Rita, you may have a fantastic point, but I'm curious, are there any projects coming that have a higher price point that have a longer...
I don't know how to phrase it without saying it in a wrong way, so I'm going to just throw it to Rita.
Rita, go for it.
No, it's an amazing question. And a lot of projects are suffering
because of not doing a high point
where the main goal is to mint out.
And then they're stuck with a very low,
how do you call it?
Very small liquidity and very weak treasury
where they can't continue for longer than they can.
Yeah, that's kind of what I was thinking, right?
But the problem is the people that they try weren't able to mint out,
even at lower than the prices you're mentioning,
even at 58, 68, 38, people were struggling with the mint outs.
I blame marketing and stuff like that and market conditions,
but it has become the reality of ATRI.
Yeah, I think when I was thinking about where to set the price point on this,
you know, the goal of this project was more about
can I get a wide distribution of these tokens for the collection? Because I think that long term, the strength is, can we have a lot of holders that are engaged and feel like they're a piece of this thing?
And we grow slowly as opposed to, you know, mint out, pop, go through sort of the market cycle, and then the collection's dead because no one actually
cares about what you made um so i'd rather take the time i'd rather engage people i'd rather give
a chance for new people to come in that's why i'm like most excited we have um like 580 holders for
940 something tokens and that feels great to me and actually reserved the last 10 of this collection
to to go and get people who are not involved in web 3 that i know from skateboarding try and get
those people engaged and and understand what's going on over here yeah i think for my two cents, I think it was really smart to do it at a lower price point in the beginning because the market wasn't marketing, man.
Like the market was was starting to see some action.
And then we had all this geopolitical unrest and everything tanked.
But then people were still having fun um with with
nfts on ape chain and you just wanted to you want to invite them in and you know and the lower price
point gives people more upside so that's what made it fun but at the end of the day right now
we're actually feeling it's really feeling like how 2021 or 20 and the 2020 felt when bitcoin was marching by
bitcoin hitting over 120 000 is that energy that's needed for everything else to really start
rallying and you see it like look at eth right now he started rallying people acting like ethan
hit 4k already they're like oh my god it's 3 600 i'm like bro like it hasn't when it
breaks all-time highs i'll be happy but yesterday fucking xrp was like four dollars that's when i'm
like holy shit that is the holy shit moments when people are really like oh we told you xrp is gonna
hit ten dollars and that it's like damn it's halfway there those are the moments when you
know that people the
reason i get excited is because there's a lot of people who got xrp at like 25 cents like myself
or people who got it like 10 cents those people are making money hands over fist and once you do
that you start to look elsewhere and when bitcoin i said yesterday it was going to go to like a i
think we'll go to 130 140 150 000 and if it goes
sideways from there eth will be at like six seven thousand then soul will be like 350 then fucking
xrp might be like eight bucks or some shit from there when people make all that money and it slows
down there will start to look at at high value digital assets and communities because you only
get so much community going on on on crypto twitter or going on youtube and being in in
fucking youtube comments or being in reddit and all that when you the the last stop on your journey
is twitter and is and it's being in one of these communities that that the nft is just like a
social signal that you're part of something bigger you're part of a bigger community
and that's a really important thing that's why people buy crypto punks that's why they buy apes
that's why they buy um pudgies that's why they buy my ladies like they want to be part of these
communities because you're like okay i made it you i really made it
in crypto now i'm in this in in a community where every day i could show up and there's there's an
adventure going on and there's people like myself who made it out of the matrix so there's a lot of
new people that will come into our space from this rally of bitcoin doing 150k and xrp going to
fucking four dollars and on the way to eight and maybe
ten dollars there's going to be a lot of people running in here raging with new money and and
the liquidity is gonna is gonna be able to impact the floor prices and people are gonna be able to
launch different things on ape chain for that 250 and 300 because they'll have the liquidity to do so and the people and the and the collectors
with the liquidity to actually participate
yo i'll tell you i'll tell you i was one of those people that always hated on xrp you know i've been
in crypto for a long fucking time and i've watched it since when it was real cheap and that the
narrative they were selling just never made sense to me and now
i'm seeing people post like oh man i'm just you know over the moon with 350 and so yesterday
seeing essential seeing crypto painter hearing yourself hearing some other people i respect in
the space saying they're still excited about that one i was like shit i'll sell put a five dollar
everyday buy order on uh for that just turn it on and fucking forget about it you know and
start doing that more often because that's one starbucks drink i go to starbucks three times a
day that's 15 every fucking day do you really go to starbucks three times a day yes how many
how many you have a special maker or something like let's let's rally and get barren no no no
i think part of it is the going outside
you know getting away from the computer i sit down in front of the computer from 6 a.m till probably
you know midnight almost every fucking day so like you gotta have a reason to go outside and
bro me don't go outside man it's it's it's waste of time buy vr headset bro buy vr
other side happens grateful i'm never going outside anymore.
Amazon everything just delivered to the house.
Other side, got my economy there.
You know, I'll be walking around Foxy Farm with MMWalk and just, like,
doing the thing, streaming on OV with Phil, drinking some of Bad Teeth's
whiskey, eating some of Hoarder's cookies, eating some of Grateful's
chocolate.
Damn, I could go on forever with this.
You see how fun this is?
MN Walk, what's good?
Happy Friday.
Yo, so the one thing I...
Because what Ill is saying is like spot on.
Like funds are going to start coming through.
I was going to come back to, you know,
but Ape Chain, I think the biggest thing
for these projects to be able to raise the funds
that they need through a mint or the prices to go up, it all comes down to ApeCoin.
It comes down to the psychology that we've kind of naturally been formed into with ApeCoin because it's less than a dollar, right?
But the second that gets into like the four, the five, the $6 again, then you don't have to have these like 30.
I mean, the 38 mints will be a lot more, right?
And I think it's like, I don't know how much over a thousand that we can get a ton of these projects in a four price.
Hopefully, we just kind of go crazy because of all the liquidity.
But I think the best thing that we can do is just keep promoting ApeCoin, ApeCoin, ApeCoin. I don't know why we don't talk about it more of like, let's get ApeCoin
into like the top 100 again. And I think like the crypto side needs to catch up. And when it does,
I think that solves all our problems, because then there's going to be excitement. The token
obviously is like, it's worth more. And then we can actually get some good funding in there.
That's really the only way that I can see
that we take that next level up.
Otherwise, yeah, we're fighting over 38 Mint.
It's like less than 50, I mean, it's like 18 bucks
and people are like stressed about it.
So I think a big part of it is the psychology of it.
Yeah, I definitely agree with that.
And I definitely 100% agree with us really um pushing
ape and and getting eight back into the top hundred and i feel like that that's gonna happen
because i said it another thing i said yesterday is like there's four tokens that i feel like will
that's gonna rally from our space and it's good itpe, Mog, Ape, and Pengu. Those are the four
that I see really having a chance to break through out of our space and actually rally and make
noise. I mean, Pepe is a fucking no-brainer. I think Mog is, is on, on ETH.
They have the crazy community.
I'm wearing the Mog glasses.
Their marketing is incredible.
Ape, you know, like I said yesterday,
like you can, you can,
you can always bid on tokens and products
where the community shows up every fucking day.
And the founders have showed up every fucking day
and the community shows up every
day and there's builders actually building stuff every single day trying to build novel things in
the space every single day shout out simple simple farmer for being the prime example of that mm
phil like bad teeth there's a fucking ton of people up here hoarder that are rita that are
literally exactly what i just just explained right so the if and you know
and the pudges you can't you can't deny that they're doing their thing when you they're fucking
ringing the bell at the at the new york stock exchange and shit so and they're trying to be
the face of crypto and to make it so we have to be super simple and our messaging has to be super, the narrative has to be super simple.
And I feel like we have that. We literally have that because we are the face of this space.
So at the end of the day, doing things like partnering with ComplexCon is huge, right?
It's a huge step in the right direction because we always talk about culture and you know that was always
the ape thing is putting um culture on chain now we have our own chain with ape chain and we're
literally putting culture on chain like that move with complex con is literally that the partnership
with staple during nftnyc is literally that partnership with cool kicks is literally that
so i i really feel like we're gonna have
that moment right now at the at the i think it'll be this year because the bull market is is really
in full swing the government is having all these conversations about crypto and there's no other
community no other ip that that when you type in nfts on in Google search, it's apes that pop up.
So I feel like we do have a unique opportunity
for our token to really just fucking get,
just launch out of the stratosphere,
get clear blue skies and beat all time highs.
I can't wait for ape to beat all time highs.
I'm going to be fucking insufferable.
Like I like $ five dollars i love that
but 28 30 insufferable when it gets to 10 there's gonna be so much liquidity that pours into this
shit and it's gonna be it's gonna be really scary how fast it ladders up so yeah i i agree man we do
need to really start to really promote it and really
work our bags there's no shame we don't tell people to buy board apes so we can tell people
to buy acorns that's alpha nah yo hodler i never i'm never like hey come buy a board ape
there's no need to like the the bot is always ringing. Bring, bring, bring, bring, bring,
bring, bring. But we can tell,
I'm going to tell motherfuckers, buy ApeCoin, bro.
There needs to be an ApeCoin bot. We need to
ring that bitch off. Like, hey, buy ApeCoin.
Y'all need to be buying ApeCoin.
especially with ETH rising
as fast as it is, you're getting a lot more
ApeCoin today than you were yesterday, too.
Great point.
Yo, let's keep going around the room.
Say what's up to some of the other homies up here.
Hoarder, what's good?
Welcome up.
Happy Friday.
How you doing, buddy?
Happy Friday.
Who's ready for ApeGames?
I think we'll drop some alpha here.
ApeGames will happen on Friday of ApeF Fest, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
So if you want to participate, if you want to have some fun,
we're going to do some stuff prior.
We're going to look at how we bring some of this fun to Ape Chain.
So go follow GoApeGames accounts.
And, yeah, looking forward to bringing some fun to ApeFest
and also hopefully to ApeChain.
So go follow that account.
Oh, I cannot fucking wait.
You Cheetah Gang, Unite, Orange, Let's Rally.
Those are the only two teams that I'll be,
that I'm repping right now.
Aqua, fuck off.
That's it.
That's my messaging.
It seems like you had more.
You're like, no, that's it, done.
There's far too much Orange on this stage.
And for Rita, I'm going to kick someone off shortly
and bring someone else up.
I'll jump down. All right. No worries guys.
I was up here and I was talking a while back and it was them aquas hype and
grateful were up here and they threw me off.
They not only threw me off stage, they threw me out of the room.
So this is what i have to say ape games is coming up
and it's going to be spectacular and as for you aquas there shall be no peace
there shall be no peace between us
yeah they they won last year i give them you know i'm not a hater they they they got us last year
but this year you know i'm saying maca that's right maca i see you you're gonna be the anchor
we got we ain't playing bro no you gotta get simple farter yeah you gotta get simple farmer
as the anchor you see his voice jacked his shit i saw a post where he said i did some mushrooms
and it made me realize
I should be healthy. I was like, damn, I need to do some mushrooms.
If that's what happens,
shit.
Simple Farmer, what's good, man?
Right now, we gotta be healthy.
Happy Friday, bro. Welcome up. How you doing?
Hey, happy Friday,
GM, guys. Doing well.
Shout out to all the legends in in the space everyone in the audience
what kind of mushrooms was it my bed i'm curious uh i grew them myself they're called
mckenna mushrooms you buy this grow kit from the netherlands and then you can you fill it with
water and then you empty the water out of this little tupperware and then they grow within like
two weeks you just leave it near a warm area it's really easy actually yo that's the name of
sean's little brother's uh band mckenna actually that's pretty funny if you type it in uh spotify
you'll get some good ass music um order what are your favorite kind of mushrooms
yeah i've never done it so maybe uh maybe a festival have to be the first time
damn i thought you were just gonna say shiitake
you gotta take it like you gotta you gotta you gotta microdose bro because man listen i've had
some some great experiences and some really bad ones i've had the walls turn into quarter rivers of corduroy
rainbow corduroy and all type of shit and it was bad and i could still feel it and i don't even
want to talk about that that's why what yo man i feel like diddy gave you a jeffrey bro nah nah nah
nah nah nah that's exactly what i was thinking hell no you gotta you just gotta be careful man
there's some people like last time i took a mushroom and I didn't even want to, I was like, oh, everyone's microdosing. Yeah, I want to try. Because I've done a lot of psychedelics, way more than probably. I've done enough for everybody on stage, right?
years ago with a good friend of mine pool bear and he's like yeah i got some mushrooms a little
i'm like oh you microdosing this fool says yeah right and he gives me this little mushroom and
mind you i grew up in florida i had there was kyle fields like about i'd say a 20 minute bike ride
from my house so i was i was the mushroom guy i would go pick garbage bags full of that shit
dehydrated and sell it to the kids who came down from new jersey and shit so i was the mushroom the plug so i'm like all right i see this little
mushroom right and i'm like all right this is you know i'll take give me the littlest one so i'm
thinking this is micro dosing because i hadn't done it yet i didn't know that it was actually
micro dos is literally the powder that's measured out in these little capsules this will gives me a
tiny mushroom we're in the studio writing and i'm like what the fuck this shit hit me like a ton of bricks i'm
driving home i get home i tell my girl i'm like baby i am fucked up right now it's like what
happened to you i'm like yo like pooh bear gave me this mushroom she was like you fucking idiot
like i was up all night and shit like so yeah you just just take take my warning
take heed make sure that is if it's a micro dose it's measured out and it's not like some
little mushroom because i'm little motherfuckers pack a wallop so uh we're gonna have to incorporate
that into ape game somehow extra points for uh the teams that uh gonna be on mushroom yeah you
remember that game last year where you had the bananas after that play place it could be a banana
or a mushroom depending on your choice you know that could be are you going the red pill or blue
pill uh if we want to share mushroom stories i can go for a long time um i would not suggest
doing mushrooms in vegas if you've never done them before as your
first time. That will be a very overwhelming experience for you, most likely. You'll end up
just locked in your room, staring at the lights out the window and giggling. That's most likely
what will happen. Let's go around the room, say what's up to some of the other homies out there.
And if you ever want to do a mushroom spaces ella where we just talk mushroom stories i i do still firmly believe that we should
have a company mushroom retreat but that's just me uh phil what's good happy friday how you doing
buddy hey gmgm legends uh good morning good evening wherever you are yeah it's great to be back at the
clubhouse um loving obviously the vibes especially with spotlight too uh yeah everything that's
happening across the chain.
I think, Ilya, you hit the nail on the head, mate.
Culture on chain, that's what we're all about.
And from a trader's perspective, not financial advice, I think accumulation zone on ApeCoin
is almost over.
Like this thing's about to pop, I reckon.
So yeah, I've been trying to bury some of those Ape Coins away for the last couple of weeks.
But, yeah, we'll see how it goes.
But, yeah, excited to be back.
I hope you guys are doing well and obviously looking forward to Vegas.
Vegas, baby.
Yo, I just got to say this, man.
I was reading this while I was on vacation.
Like, for the Apes who are not going to be able to make it this year, there's no need to rain on other people's parade and try to talk down on this ape chain versus, I mean, this ape fest versus another ape fest.
Like, let's just be clear.
Let me be clear.
2022 will never be replicated.
That was fucking insane.
Okay?
Like, if you lived it, it will be part of your memories for the rest of your life
and that's what it was about like you have to there's certain moments like you're never going
to relive again and that's what makes them instrumental in your life like and you would
all of course you want to always relive your your high school years if you were the fucking
quarterback and you were the man and this that or if you won the fucking chip on your basketball team or you ran the fucking winning touchdown in
college, like you want to relive those moments. But like at the end of the day, you ain't going
back in time, but that's your memories. You know what I mean? The glory days, like, so apes have
their glory days and it's great to have that memory of 2022.
So you don't disrespect a current thing by comparing it to the greatest moment of your life.
Because comparison is the thief of joy, man. You have to enjoy the moments that are present.
The fact that you're alive in 2025 should be the number one thing.
Then the moments you enjoy while you're alive in 2025 and
2026, those are the things that you enjoy right then. Don't go backwards in time. You could talk
about it with your friends. And if you missed it, relive it through other people. Live vicariously.
But don't be on the timeline, oh man, fuck this eight fest and this one because 2022 like bro come on now like
let's just stop it bro
let's just stop I'm not gonna hate on
hip hop now because the fucking
2000s was the best hip hop
like come on man or the 90s
like nah
we start to sound like old heads
man like let's just live in the moment
and do our thing we still here
and there's a lot of apes that this is their first ape fest so let's not live in the moment and do our thing we still here and there's a lot of
apes that this is their first ape fest so let's not ruin that for the homies man
i will tell you on that major mushroom uh tip 2022 that crazy shit apes just kept giving me
mushrooms the entire time the entire weekend and i love all of you apes for that uh fun stories
phil go for it no I was just gonna
double down on what Ila said like you know um you guys know I'm based in Perth Western Australia
no matter where Ape Fest is every single year I'll be traveling there it's not just for the
four hours of the festival it's for the days leading up and the days leading after it the
in real life uh contact that we all have, the face to face, the vibes, the
memories, and it is what we make it.
So yeah, it doesn't matter how, as many years as Ape Fest will be running, I will be making
the trip.
It's as simple as that.
So yeah, that's what's going to keep this club moving.
I will tell you guys, every single time it's come around like this.
It's fun to be in the moment, meet a friend, crack a beer, have a joke, have a smile, have a hug, take a photo.
What's really cool is that moment where you connect and kind of like share energy for a second.
It goes forward into that next year because all of a sudden your relationship has a foundation.
So when you reach out to this person and they see you in the DMs, they're going to go, oh, shit, that's so-and-so that I met at ApeFest. I had a great time talking to so-and-so. Let's
continue that conversation in the DMs. And boom, I bet you a lot of you guys ended up making a show
together, creating some content together, creating a project together, just becoming lifelong friends,
right? Like I know I've had certain situations like that myself directly just from going IRL
ApeFest events. So Phil, can't wait to see you again. I directly just from going IRL, ApeFest
events.
So, Phil, can't wait to see you again.
I think I met you last year at ApeFest Lisbon for the first time, and I was like, damn,
this is a handsome big dude.
You know, and I had no idea because when I saw your monkey profile picture, that's not
the same thing, right?
So it's nice to put a face to the PFP.
Let's go around and say what's up to some of the other homies up here.
Someone I also met last year, NBA Memo.
If you hang around him too long, he will give you tequila.
Tequila!
Tequila, baby!
Hey, guys.
Much love to you guys.
We got future as an NBA this week on the Bay YC Twitter,
and that was magical, man.
We were talking about glory days, and you know what? For me, you know, I just joined the clubYC Twitter, and that was magical, man. We were talking about Glory Days, and you know what?
For me, you know, I just joined the club a year ago.
For me, the Glory Days was Ape Fest,
putting a face to everybody with their pictures,
meeting people, you know.
Then NFT Paris, a special moment was when I met Captain and Steve.
Dude, it was beautiful, man.
You spend so much time with people on spaces, and when you see them, when you hug them and Steve. Dude, it was beautiful, man. You spend so much time with people on Spaces.
And when you see them, when you hug them for the first time,
when you share a tequila shot with them,
for the ones that drink, that is,
it's, I don't know, magical, man.
I think Glory Days come with Ape Fest,
and that is just a fact.

We went to fucking F1 Vegas, right, last year.
And it was so much fucking fun.
And it was like a mini Ape Fest. And we kept saying like damn like like a tiny baby ape fest because there was a it was a handful it was a good amount of apes there but
nothing like an ape fest and we had so much fun literally so much fun just going to the clubs
going like seeing apes coming back from like being out and seeing apes at the fucking blackjack
table at three in the morning you walk to one side of the casino and then you see another you
walk through see another side of the casino there's fucking apes at this table apes at that
table like it was it was such a vibe and that's what was like i think that's what kind of inspired
this year and people don't have any idea like vegas in itself is a fucking movie it's not like oh we
have to go we go to hong kong we have to bring the energy there we go to lisbon we have to bring
the energy there you go to vegas you have to be prepared for the energy that is you're going to
be met with there that is the difference with vegas you gotta you have to really be prepared now when you add in all of our your internet homies
and with vegas at multiple hotels oh for multiple days this is gonna be that's why some people like
this is gonna be the best a-fest because anyone who's been to vegas with the homies and then you
a hundred x that with that mention that that many more friends come on man y'all ain't
ready bro i'm trying to tell you motherfuckers ain't ready it doesn't have to be about oh what's
board apes what's the yuga planning nah it's about vegas we're going to fucking vegas as a community

so excited to go to vegas
yo imagine grateful running around with all that energy in ve, bro. Like, come on now.
I expect different things.
I expect Grateful to sit down at a poker table and his whole personality just change into
like the most serious, like, you know, you can't read me, you have no idea.
I've been watching Rounders far too much lately, so that's kind of how I've pictured him in
my mind for some reason.
Yo, until he puts it all on red or black and wins
like 30 grand, then he's like,
let's go to this dream club, motherfuckers!
Let's fucking go!
We're definitely making a spotlight market
for this. I'm taking notes.
I'm putting them into the platform.
This is coming up soon, shortly.
Yo, Grateful, go for go for it guys I'm getting
ready don't worry usually before I travel I watch a lot of documentaries
about the city or country and I watch a hangover movie for like 10 times already
so I know how to deal with Vegas guys it's gotta be fun damn and I said it
before here you know if you have if you don't have tiger
in your bathroom like you did beg us experience wrong what's the what's buddy's name the funniest
guy in hangover with the beard uh alan that's gonna be alan alan yeah literally a whole community filled with allens that's literally the club like
jesus christmas bro i'd be like baron i have my great flavor of chocolate here do you want some
don't be the guy that gets the tattoo on the face and marries the stripper and
here's the vaguest piece of advice I'll give you guys.
Don't drink any drink that you didn't get directly from the bar,
your fucking self.
That is the absolute truth of Vegas.
Let's keep it moving.
We're going to end up wrapping relatively soon.
We're going to hit up J-Ball.
We're going to go to Froglings.
Then we're going to circle back to Illa, probably wrap it up.
We got to jump into meetings for the day.
I'm sure you guys have a lot to do as well.
It's still early.
You can still go get your McDonald's breakfast on the West Coast.
Let's go.
J-Bahn, what's your good?
J-Bahn, what up?
McDonald's breakfast right now, but, you know, maybe bored and hungry in Ape Fest.
I'm just right here.
It's actually almost midnight where I am, but loved listening to you guys.
Always love hanging out to the apes.
And yeah, just really a good vibe.
Can't wait for ApeFast.
Can't wait to see you guys in Vegas.
Play some poker, casino.
Maybe even UNO.
Who knows?
Maybe Bored Apes will be having a special Uno table
if Vegas Casino won't have it.
But yeah, I'm just excited, excited for everything that's happening in our ecosystem.
Even it's, you know, quite quiet relative to the old days or to other ecosystems out there.
But I know we're cooking.
And yeah, you know, Ape Fest will be a movie.
So I'm just very excited for that.
So see you all there.
I can't share too much yet about what's happening for Bored and Hungry.
But rest assured, we'll do our best to be there.
And it will be
fucking exciting
so I know you guys
like I know a lot of you guys
had long lines before
during Ape Fest we'll try
to make it better
this year so yeah that's what I can say
so yeah see you all
thanks for pulling me up here
can't wait for vegas let's go
yeah i'm i'm definitely gonna be eating a lot of border hungry burgers that's one of my favorite
motherfucking burgers ever and i love smash burgers period and yeah uno oh shit we definitely
gotta get it cracking with uno we definitely gotta get it cracked with uno people think it's a game i went to to fashion week right in paris in february i'll get invited to the
louis vuitton party that pharrell is throwing come go upstairs guess what the pharrell has
popping off as soon as you get upstairs a fucking uno tournament literally in the middle of the
party like that was the main event of the
fucking louis vuitton party at fashion week was this giant uno tournament and you won a fucking
louis vuitton trunk that was like 30 grand and i'm like what in the fuck and i i was mad that we got
there late because i'm nice with uno me and wifey we would have teamed up and whooped put belt to ass so i know there's
supposed to be some poker shit yeah y'all could have all that i'm with the uno tournament and we
could put some money down and we will see who's gonna come out yeah jay bond i like that yep
yep that's it's all yeah you know what table please I know Uno's not yet in casinos in Vegas, but maybe there will be a board-ape table with Uno, please.
Here's what I just heard was Illa said poker.
I forgot Wiley posted about it.
Oh, I can't wait to talk about poker with you guys.
Listen, that shit is going to be so much fun.
I'm going to win.
I'm just letting you guys know right fucking now.
I'm going to win.
That's it. Like, that's it like that's
where my mentality is if we're playing poker together in a board ape tournament for the first
time ever oh you better believe that's gonna be a fun-ass experience i can't wait uh for more info
to come out for you guys to get just as excited about that and also also, Illa, maybe not Uno, but I could definitely bring some Pogs,
go back to my mom's house this week, get my Pog collection from my childhood, bring it to Vegas.
You know, we could play some Pogs on the side, like they play craps on the street. We could be
doing that with Pogs. So just putting that out there, you know, we can make shit happen.
Froglings, what's good? Happy Friday. How you doing?
What's cracking? Apes. Apes on top. B-A-Y-C on top. Ape chain on top. Frogs on top. You know how
we do. Apart from these two sexy scars on here, I see all your sexy apes looking nice. Yeah,
I know Eli said Pooh Bear, his friend, gave him some mushrooms, but I was watching this J-Lo
Discovery, and I remember she called Diddy Pooh Bear. Just saying.
Illa, I still love you though.
You still the man.
Just had to have some fun over there.
I'm Michael Veli with that voice.
You a true frog, homie.
God damn it.
You almost made me deaf over here, bro.
But keep going.
Keep going on shit.
We like when you sing and do all that stuff on the stage.
Grateful looking sexy.
Everybody looking sexy up in here.
Let's do this.
And Baron, Illa, I was going to ask a little... What's that word? age grateful looking sexy everybody looking sexy up in here let's do this and uh baron illa i was
going to ask a little um what's that word um i was going to show some ape chain stuff can i do that
or no okay i got that uh sign from baron and hudler so i just want you guys to know that the
frogs are out here giving free lap dances to whoever
delegates points to the frogs we busting it wide open we doing whatever dog i almost spit out my
coffee onto my computer right now we're doing whatever for those points so once you get to
ape chain like an ape chain spotlight look for the frogs and delegate those points over and you and
if you if you're an ape and you're not an ape chain stop embarrassing yourself homie better start playing with a chain before you get lost and um no point intended to loss
but shout out to the apes man we love bayc love the froglins love you guys uh lost and ngb via
everybody on the ape chain team thank you for everything that you've done for spotlight um i
know a bunch of people um have bad stuff some people have good
stuff but we're still on the second one man there's still a lot of changes that need to be
made and we're gonna like do better when we keep going forward so just wanted to shout you guys out
for everything that you do and uh every every other builder in the ecosystem thanks for what
you do yeah froglin signing out love you guys but yeah don't forget free lap dances and we busting
it wide open i don't know how else
to follow up with i almost feel like we just wrap on that but yeah man it's a it's 11 11 you know
everybody make a wish my dog came up talking about went from diddy to busting it wide open like
it's a lot going on man so simple farmer what's going on yeah i mean i just just wanted to touch on spotlight real quick
and honestly why you should bear about spotlight as a member of the board api club or a mutant
club of course um you know you got to think about the token and the nft as correlated and you see
that a lot with pengu right now and you know you know, what's going on with Pudgies as well.
And what we have going on on ApeChain right now, I think, is a lot bigger than maybe some people realize.
I, for example, I'm coming through with massive goals.
I want to get to levels of revenue and volume that are like similar to what FanDuel and DraftKings are doing.
And at that point, we would be bringing in so much liquidity to ApeChain that we would be positively affecting the price of ApeCoin.
Because, you know, in that way, we're actually bringing through utility to the token because people have to bet in ApeCoin.
And at that point, the rising price of ApeCoin could also increase the price of the Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT.
And that's the endgame, right?
Because the Bored Ape Yacht Club is our North Star on ApeChain.
So I just want to say, if you do have a chance, man,
check out the video I posted.
I think Spen pinned it up top.
Come through, do a couple spotlight quests.
It doesn't take more than five or ten minutes a day.
And I think, you know, if we really all band together,
we can really make a big change.
With Ape Chain and Ape Coin, Garga mentioned that the cruft is getting cut out. I'm seeing that
already in real time. I think big things are coming, man. Shout out to you guys. Thanks.
No, I think shout out to you and all you guys out there. And thank you for what everyone does
every day. We see you guys in the spaces grinding. A lot of the ideas that the community shares,
whether it's feedback that's positive or constructive or whatever it may be, we're actively looking and seeking it as well to do whatever we can to make the club better.
Shout out to Lost and NGB.
These two motherfuckers work so damn hard for the community.
I tell you what, I see these guys hustling in a way that makes me envious of uh not having to have so much caffeine you know
so shout out to you guys mad love for both of you illa welcome back excited that you're back
look forward to next week in the next meet at the clubhouse that we do you have anything to say
before we oh you know what grateful's got his hand up let'sateful, lead us out, buddy. Damn, I'm just on the
Apes predict and it's amazing,
guys. I'm having so much fun there.
It's crazy. Love it. So, guys, go there.
Spend all your ApeCoin
there. It's well spent,
but have a great weekend. See you in
Vegas and ApesTogetherStrong.
Let's fucking go. Baron and
Ila, thank you so much for hosting these
spaces because they are legendary. They are part of the culture right now. So, let's fucking go. Baron and Ila, thank you so much for hosting these spaces because they are legendary. They are part of the culture right now.
