Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's a shitty boy, born and raised in South Detroit.
He took the midnight train, girl, and he went. I'll see you next time. small they can share the night it goes on and on and on
I see lights, people,
They're just defining my sight,
I'm hiding somewhere in the world.
Thank you. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah. Yeah. Wait till you're looking on the building out of shadows, searching at night.
The streetlights are beautiful, there's a strong dimension of the heart and the sun will shine. is
oh Yeah. Don't stop believing, I'm on my mind, I feel like I'm on my mind, I feel like I'm on my mind, Believe it. Come on to the beginning.
Believe it.
It's only fitting to start over with the same track.
And we're going to do this again.
My phone looks normal now.
So we're in a much better place than we were 38 minutes ago.
Let's go.
All right.
I'm going to get to the request.
I'm going to fill this thing up.
Share this with your friends and family.
Share it with anybody and everybody you may know.
I love that my screen is back to normal now.
So let's do this.
Hold on one second.
I got this.
That moment when he should have likeed the baton to somebody else
And I was on my second
Second phone
With the other phone in the other room
Everything was grayed out
We had to have known it was just going to rug
Uncle Elon
Victoria I sent you a co-host
I don't know if you saw that or not
also can we just say
like
everybody knows the greater than
less than symbols
okay Bon Jovi
greater than
Journey
however Journey greater than everybody else so I would have to
disagree I saw I saw Bon Jovi I hang on hang on let me finish I saw Bon Jovi perform live here
in Western Australia and I left early it was the most dreadful performance I've ever witnessed. Yeah, it was absolutely dreadful.
And then I saw maybe 10 years ago,
but I also saw them perform live on the Oprah Winfrey show,
and it was even worse than what I witnessed in real life.
And I'm a connoisseur of live music.
of live music.
So I'm also
like a 1989
2005
Bon Jovi fan.
So I do agree.
Like he has
diminished
over the years.
So 10 years ago,
I have not seen him live.
Can't disagree.
I can tell you it was terrible
however
it's not about the live
like Meta Rides knows
like Journey just now
that was a recording
I'm just saying
I love old Bon Jovi
maybe not live
but then Journey Don't Stop Believin',
like, that's a hard second.
So it's a win for everybody.
Yeah, no, I agree.
Like, I like Bon Jovi's music, but my experience with live was terrible.
And now everyone else in the room who's heard them may have had a completely
different experience to me but like I've never seen Journey live obviously because Steve Perry
quit Journey well before my time but I've seen videos of their live performances and I would say
Steve Perry is a musical genius and like his voice live that I've seen on video is like spectacular.
Definitely.
Just saying.
Also, while we wait for Men of Rides to come back,
aka Hermie, so the new lead for Journey,
my old bandmates, we won't get into that because that's a whole other beast, but I'm a classical violinist. some of our bandmates knew the new lead for journey,
I guess.
Like this tiny little amazing kid.
Yeah.
Like he's amazing.
He's amazing.
And like,
have you seen the story?
Have you seen the story? Like he did a documentary with Oprah.
Yeah.
Like how he got into it amazing
amazing absolutely amazing like one of the few people ever to actually do a comeback like
we're replacing them and he's got a wicked voice arnold panetta's voice is actually can do it
i saw the live i saw the live performance at at Vegas for the Grand Prix where they were on top
of a sea container with the band all on top of a sea container.
And like,
if you closed your eyes,
you would think it was Steve Perry singing.
He is that good.
Yeah.
Yeah.
He's amazing.
Meta rides and rogue buddies back to you this was the bon jovi
slash don't stop believing yeah like the intermission uh victoria so i was i was talking
to you before uncle elon closed the mic on me um i what i was going to tell you was or ask you was
i didn't know if you had heard about about the troubles that we were going through with the space and I was going to give you all of that.
But now that we've kind of, uh, made it past that, uh, I think that it makes more sense just to say
hello. And Craig, if you don't mind, can you send Victoria those four videos? I got them.
I just, yeah, I just got them and downloaded them. Awesome. So I wanted you to see those so you can be excited about what people might get tonight when they mint.
I want the gold one.
I'm sorry?
I want the gold one.
That's mine.
That's mine.
That's the one I've been wanting.
Wait, wait.
Victoria wasn't worried about what other people were going to get.
She's worried about what she's going to get.
I love it.
I'm in line with everybody else.
I just hope I get the one I want. There you go.
We purposely did not share a million
of the cars with the Rogue Bunnies team. We wanted them to be as excited as everybody else.
They saw a bunch. Let's not pretend that they didn't, but they didn't
see everything. I'm anxious to see how that plays out tonight. We did not.
We put our trust in you that you
were going to do us right and you know definitely we're going to be very surprised because I think
we've only seen I think we've only seen whatever you've put out actually on Twitter and social
media and stuff. I think maybe one or two other cars besides that but I think you guys have
modified things over and over so many times that
whatever comes out is stuff we haven't seen anyways so it'll all be all new for us i guarantee
yeah so i'm excited we're as excited as you are um i i feel like when
victoria's like i want what i want and i want it now. Um, I feel like the one of one wraps
are going to be so well received when people start to realize when these are minted, they see the
collection and they realize what goof has gone through to create these cars. Um, it's just,
it's, it's just crazy. Like I, I went through them myself the other night,
and Goof and I have been rendering like crazy just to create the images
and the videos for the men.
And seeing a lot of them for the first time myself, I was just blown away.
And then Goof and I talked about it last night, and we were like,
this is really, really cool that it's gaming, it's Rogue Bunnies,
but it's also art, and it all kind of comes together really, really
well and I think that
everybody's going to be super
excited about what they get but also super
excited about checking out the collection and then like
we always thought secondary
was going to be big but we really think that it's going to be
big now based on what we're seeing so
pretty crazy. I'm just
happy Twitter spaces are working. This is
insane. It actually has PFPs on my screen. I'm just happy Twitter spaces are working. This is insane.
It actually has PFPs on my screen.
I can see people.
Jennifer's down there.
I did see Time Out.
I'm never good at this because I don't like shouting people out.
But Alvin's in the space.
And I have not seen Alvin since the last mansion party.
So Alvin, appreciate you for joining us.
And much love, brother.
Hope all is well.
Alvin?
Who? Bentaga? Who? Vintaga?
Yes.
Where is he?
Where is he?
He's down there.
I don't think I've seen him in the face since the major party.
I see him.
Hey, you. Hey, Alvin.
He doesn't go by Alvin, the way so just saying oh that was
how i was introduced to the mansion party so i feel bad now you're just teasing i'm just teasing
you know we like to go by our aliases so i don't have one but but... I was going to say, what's yours? Oh, he's Alvin on his thing.
What am I saying?
He usually goes by Vintagin.
Oh, okay.
I see it now.
I don't have an alias.
I just never...
I was NFT Bunny from 2020 on,
and I just didn't really go with anything besides Victoria.
So I thought, you know, that's fine.
Fair enough. thought you know that's fine fair enough when you have a recognizable like you know um what's the
word i'm looking for like not persona but like likeness um it's it's pretty valuable to just use
your name um hermy and i didn't come to the table with that um so we get to make up goofy names for ourselves
can you tell can you tell goose having trouble speaking he's probably in the collection right
now looking just saying oh pretty girls look at all the pretty girls
dude that's like the past like three months like it's been it's been a minute you should
like there's a couple like layers it's just like, do you want to see a whole bunch of Victoria and Jennifer all at once?
Like, here's this layer.
Turn it all on.
Victoria's secret.
It's, yeah, no, it's been honestly, like, I appreciate the trust that you have put in MetaRise and myself to do your brand and your
likenesses you know what what they deserve and I think we've done a pretty
good job of execution yeah well I mean you're super talented and our assets are
awesome so there you go I knew I knew knew it was a winning combination.
Heck yes.

Miss Smash down there.
That's my wife.
She has put up with a lot of me not being present for the past bit.
And I love her to death.
And she is always supportive.
Just kind of the just get it done if you got to do it.
And I if she wasn't, I just I wouldn't be able to do these things that I love.
Thank you, babe.
You'll make me want to cry.
See, that's what it is about this place, Minerad, and you guys, people like that.
Because you find there's actually real love, like real shivery.
That's true.
I'm going to cry.
And my brother Domi's the panda.
The Amanda with the panda.
I don't know.
Yeah.
So when do we get a chance at this
mint what is what are we doing here because i'm getting antsy and i i want to spend we were just
trying to make you antsy for as long as possible i'm speaking for everybody in the room by the way
yeah i know me too honestly and if victoria gets that gold, I'm going to be pissed. Just saying.
Good.
I want you to be so angry.
Yeah.
That one's...
I like that one.
I like them all.
There's not anything that made it in that I didn't, you know.
So what is happening with the mix?
I came in late.
So if you guys had talked about it, you can't repeat yourself.
What is going on?
They are on a second or third round of testing something that is above my head.
Wallet security.
The devs, they're testing wallet security right now, yeah.
Okay.
So, Victoria, real quick, i'll explain what's going on we are implementing
a way that we can have multiple mint buttons open that feed to the same contract and there's going
to be when they click on the rogue bunnies button and go to the rogue bunnies page on our website
there's going to be six mint buttons and having all of them active at once
is a little bit different than just having a singular
mint button on a singular page.
So they ran the testing today.
It looks as if everything's good,
but they wanted to test it again.
They're telling us now between 9 and 9.30 most likely.
I don't want to overpromise anything, but I i don't want to over promise anything but i also
don't want to under promise it either and have people leave and assume 9 30 is the time um so
we're doing everything that we can behind the scenes but what we're trying to do is create
something that's that's more advanced than just a regular men's site it looks more like an e-commerce
site where you have a comfort level there you log in with your wallet and you can buy whatever you want.
But that's what's at hand right now.
Wallet security and wallet safety is paramount.
We've got six devs right now working on it.
And when we come out the other side, whether that's in five minutes or 30 minutes or whatever,
we will feel comfortable once that's done that people can mint without issues.
So that's where we stand at the
moment. I don't like it, but I would rather be safe than safe. Herm, one question for you. Can
you confirm whether or not you're going to be taking credit cards? They are saying right now,
yes. That's not the issue. The issue is having each of the six buttons live at once, but it's
95% yes, but I don't know if they pull the plug on credit card if everything's better.
Not saying that it's bad, but for them to have 100% comfort level, we've got to go through the test one more time.
And I'm not a dev. I don't want to pretend to be.
I don't want anyone to think that I am, but I'm just going off of what they're telling us now.
But there may be six different mint buttons, correct?
There's going to be six different mint buttons because we have Rogue Bunnies Alpha,
Rogue Bunnies Zara, Victoria Alpha, Jennifer Alpha, and then the Avatars,
and then the showrooms.
So I'm going to be good.
I have my six phones ready to go with six different walls.
Six buttons, six phones, six wallets.
You're good.
Yep.
You guys better be ready, man.
I'm taking these out.
If you guys have it open that people can buy it all as many as they want, I'm just letting
everybody know I'm buying 20 and it's out.
Love you.
Well, one of the things that we discovered is for two reasons.
One, for safety, we're allowing one mint at a time.
So you can't go in and buy 20.
But at the same time, that also protects everybody else
that's trying to mint so somebody doesn't swoop in
with an early buy and then people miss out
on the entire collection.
I think that's fair, okay.
Yeah, it makes it a little more fair.
And then what you're gonna wanna do is prioritize
which one you want the most and go to that link first
and buy it and then go, if you want the full collection, for instance, just prioritize which one you want the most and go to that link first and buy it. And then go, you know, if you want the full collection, for instance,
just prioritize which one you want first.
I would argue that Jennifer and Victoria cars are going to sell out quicker,
but that's just me.
And I don't want to pretend like I know how this is going to play out.
Or just have six phones ready to go.
There you go.
All right.
You gots to do it.
You gots to do it.
Appreciate you, Sid.
Love you, brother.
Love your patience, everyone.
I appreciate it so much.
Sid, I jumped up here when I heard you talking like a girl earlier.
Oh, my God.
I died.
That wasn't me.
That wasn't you.
Are you sure?
Oh, it was wifey then, right?
It was wifey? right it was wifey
it was definitely it was definitely not wifey
I'm not sure what you're talking about
I got you I got you bro
Ocean you got your hand back up
yeah not back up just up
well up it's always up i forget yeah
no that's fine i appreciate it hermy question for you telling me vdk music which of the six
buttons do i want to go for first where are you going first if you had to go first um if i were going first and i wanted the full
collection i would go either victoria or jennifer and then i would go showroom and then i would go
rogue bunnies zara rogue bunnies alpha and avatar okay i'm to forget all of that. So I'm just remembering Victoria secret.
We're going to Victoria and then Jennifer. Yeah, that, that would be the way that I would go.
But again, I don't, I don't know how this is going to play out. I do know that there are a lot of
Victoria supporters, Jennifer supporters, and also rogue bunnies branded supporters.
I said this earlier in the space, but I don't know what came through
because the space was all screwed up,
but there's little nuggets inside this collection
that include the Mayhem Show,
the Gold Key, Bunny Money, Bunny Bros.
All of that is built into this collection.
So, mint away, and hopefully you get you know
something that you resonate with but the but the rogue bunnies brand you know if you back up and
look at it from the macro there's so much going on there and we tried to incorporate as much of
that as possible did i give you guys a bunny bros logo you did not actually goof goof would know but
i don't think so how could i have i did not have a logo itof would know, but I don't think so. How could I have that?
I did not have a logo.
It made it onto license plates. Sounds like Series 2 is coming sooner rather than later.
Shoot!
I'll get started right now.
Goof, I need 20 alphas.
All right, let's go.
Can I ask Rogue Bunnies if I was obsessed with things pink, so I'm ocean racing league, but I'm actually VDK music.
I'm obsessed with pink.
Where do I go?
What button do I push?
I wouldn't know.
I'm not in charge of the mint.
I'm, I'm a, I'm a client.
I'm a, I'm a collector as much as, as much as you are. So I don't know.
And I think they're random. So I don't, I'm not sure, you know, uh, I mean, I know what I'm going
to go for first, but I don't think anybody knows it's going to be randomized. So you,
you're not going to know what you have until you mint it all right yeah back to meta yeah
you're not going to know what you have until you mint it.
if i was looking for something pink if i'm going to try to mint pink where am i going
it's it's totally random so because there's pink on all like you did pink on
you did something pink on every collection.
There is a pink in, yeah, or more than a pink in every collection.
All right.
That's the answer I want.
And variations of it, you know, because we're wrapping things and not paintings.
It can be half pink.
Yeah.
There's a lot.
I'm good with that.
Need more on USDC is the answer.
Amy, we also have to mention that there are little hidden nuggets
in the showrooms as well.
You know, like you've got to be on the lookout.
be on the lookout if you're going to mint a showroom there's secret rooms there's little
If you get them into showroom, there's secret rooms.
hidden things inside the showrooms for people to find and little easter eggs and um they're very
cool so get yourself a showroom and i want to see i may have done put actual easter eggs in the
show yeah i want to see who's the first person
that mints a showroom that puts a tweet up on Twitter
or a post, whatever you want to call it, on XNow
with one or some of the nuggets that they find
in the hidden room or when they even find the hidden room
and the arcade machine.
It's going to be super cool.
You like that, Hermie?
Super cool, brother. Super cool be super cool. You like that, Hermie? Super cool, brother.
Super cool.
Super cool.
Yeah.
I'm going to say hey to another partner friend.
What is up, Mr. Domies?
How are you doing tonight?
I'm doing spectacular, man, because I'm so delighted and excited for this moment.
MetaRide, Rogue Bunny, what an incredible collab to get things rolling.
And for you to be able to showcase all of your incredible talent and hard work.
This is just super. And I just want to say for anybody
who is maybe
sitting at the pit stop wondering
whether or not this is something
they want to tap into, I
assure you. Was that
too much? No, it was good.
I was just enjoying it.
But like
I know just the dedication that
Hermie and Craig have to making MetaRides a incredible long term brand, not just by bringing on the NFT artist goof, but just their overall dedication and hard work and their networks that they've continued to bring forward.
And, you know, obviously stepping in with Rogue Bunnies as an initial jump off uh for where their hard work is showing is
just proving that they're here for the long haul so uh folks don't don't waffle don't don't let
your tires burn out just uh you know tap in because you know and if anybody has and a lot
of people here have been around the nft communities for a long time that if there is no hiccups
on the Mint, it's not
legit, folks.
It's not legit. If it goes off
with no hiccups,
you gotta have to have some suspects.
He doesn't just follow me around?
No, you already know.
It happens to all
the good people, man.
Yeah, and a lot of it is I mean, we want to make sure everything's right because this is a
forever thing.
And that's what's dope about the blockchain.
We just want to, you know, we've built things in a way that we can change the things that
need to be changed.
But, you know, the permanency of it is hey let's get it right and especially
when it gets to stuff that's over my head like wallet security and stuff like that um
i'll stay in my my creative lane over here
yeah and um i see a future where some domi's artwork ends up on some MetaRides cars.
I've seen some cool things from this guy, including a sweet MetaRides tag.
Yeah.
Strong work with the art, my friend.
And thanks for your support.
Thanks for the love. Thank you your support. Thanks for the love.
But this is the MetaRides collab with Rogue Bunnies.
Mint party, folks.
Hype it up.
I don't need to hype it up.
They know.
This has been waiting and waiting, and it is go time.
The checkered flag is about to be dropped.
And you, like you heard just from MetaRides,
explaining this, the continued last kinks.
And I love everything you guys are putting together
to make the six minute buttons
and the opportunities for people to choose
where they want to tap in and, you know,
get a piece of MetaRides history.
So this is super exciting.
Thanks for having me up.
I look forward to watching how this evening unfolds
and for all of the lucky people that get the exclusive exclusives.
But no one's going to go wrong with anything that they pull out of the garage tonight,
that's for sure.
Ah, you did it in the end, too.
Strong work.
Thanks, Domis. Appreciate you, brother. Strong work. Thanks, Domies.
Appreciate you, brother.
Heck yeah.
Meta Beast?
When parking space?
Yeah, I may have promised a whole parking lot be painted earlier.
I said that I can't guarantee any of the things that I promised at all, so I just offered a whole parking lot painted painted earlier um i said that i can't guarantee any of the things that i promised at all so i just offered a whole parking lot painted with his name sorry he offered me more
than you two did it's great to see you guys back up here man one existence how you doing brother
i am doing doing well thank you and like i said it's great to see you guys back up here.
It's been too long.
I want to say something.
Can I say your name?
Am I allowed to say that in a space?
Yeah.
Many in Decentraland know me by my first name, too.
Okay, so Alan is a friend of ours that we try really hard to tap into our community.
that we try really hard to tap into our community.
And I have reached out to Alan on multiple occasions
to find out what his thoughts are regarding,
you know, the build in general.
And Alan seems to understand the landscape of,
you know, virtual worlds that are being built,
who's doing it well, who's not.
We've had a lot of conversations about that. And ultimately,
you know, leaning into one of our community members, he's got a lot of cars. I think he has
a showroom. And just having a community of people that understand the industry and understand certain
aspects of what we're building is very, very valuable. So more than anything, Alan, I just
want to say thank you for being there for us and for being a supporter of ours since day one, basically. And it doesn't go
unnoticed. So appreciate you and all that you bring to the table for us. Thank you. Likewise,
it was nice to bust out the tire again and have some fun with that today.
again and have some fun with that today yeah yeah there's some tires in the space for sure
um we did a campaign way back called get tired and we tried to get as many pfps out there with
metarides tires on them as possible and uh we might do that again sometime soon that was fun
but um i just i don't know there there have been so many long-term supporters. I know some of the Rogue Bunnies fans have just joined our Discord,
and they're just joining the MetaRights family, hopefully soon.
But the long-term early supporters have been with us.
99.9% of them didn't sell a thing because they wanted to use their vehicles inside different worlds.
The airdrops just went
out. Those images and videos will be dropped soon on top of those NFTs. So you can figure out what
you got as replacements for the Unstoppable Domains collection. And then the Rogue Bunnies
met, and then we keep going for 2025. So just a lot of stuff that we're building behind the scenes.
I heard in the space this morning, we were in the DigiJoint space and they were talking about how I won't say anything until it's definitely going to happen. I don't
tease anything that's not going to happen. And I think that that as a brand is important in the
space where you're not over-promising and under-delivering. But I'm rambling a bit.
But Alan, appreciate you for sure.
Alan, appreciate you for sure. You bet. You bet. Thank you so much.
You bet.
You bet.
Thank you so much.
When parking place, when parking spot.
You're awesome.
Yes.
Remember?
Yeah.
Right there.
Right there in Income Island.
I never made that promise, by the way.
In my mind, you did.
Okay, fair enough.
So you have to stick to it.
I have a buddy of mine that for some reason, he thinks that I told him that I was going to get him a virtual island.
So he bought some of the cars originally.
He's like one of my IRL buddies that bought in.
So he knows he has the cars, but he asks me every time I see him if I have his island.
And I'm like, dude, I don't have your island, but let's have a beer.
So there's that.
VDK, what's up just you said one existence right yep all right i don't see you in the crowd are you putting the pieces together it's meta beast i'm under me i'm under my better beast
account yes yes hello hello i bet you know what I meant to say hello to you too. I was
very confused. I was checking all the parking spaces. I get it. I want a parking space.
Now I feel like Herbie. Herbie told me we could have parking spaces. We're neighbors.
hurricane spaces. We're neighbors.
That's right.
Yeah.
In the Medawise parking lot
of Income Islands.
Yes, yes.
Our mutual friend
I just discovered
came upon
I don't know what the heck happened,
if you know what I mean.
I was confused. I couldn't I mean. I was confused.
I couldn't find you.
I was like, did I get blocked?
Like, I know the voice.
I know the name.
We're good.
I have a couple underwater elephants.
I know.
You need to come visit.
We have seasons now with Rookie League.
You will fit right in,
but let's talk cars,
pink cars.
Let's go.
Hermie to you.
I think anybody that meant a pink car is going straight to VDK to say,
you know,
I'll make you a deal.
I need to bring VDK into this conversation.
I'm going to bring the PFP in.
I'm just saying.
But she's doing that.
What, I assume I know,
but what chain should people have funds available on for this?
And when is the one sent out reveal for the vehicles?
Just, I'm antsy.
So for the Rogue Bunnies, Victoria, you want to go?
I wasn't sure if you were jumping in.
Oh, no, I was going to jump in because I'm anxious.
But USDC on base is the crypto.
Or you can potentially use a credit card, which is awesome.
But, yeah, all you have to do is a little swap.
Swap some Ethereum. use your coinbase wallet
use your metamask wallet but be on the on the base network i do want to say uh to all of the
bunny holders in the space we almost set it up where bunny could be used for this Mint, but we wanted to have our first Mint on base as simple as possible, given everything that we're trying to do.
But I do anticipate in the future creating Series 2 with Rogue Bunnies around some of the other Legacy Playmates and potentially new vehicles, etc.
And I'm trying to choose my words carefully
goofing craig um but we do want to be able to accept bunny token uh in the future for the
vehicles so be ready for that it's just not tonight unfortunately but it is something that
we're working on for 2025. that would be awesome yeah for. If there's any bunny bros, I've invited some of you up to speak.
If you want to come up and chat-a-roo, talk about how amazing it is to be a bunny bro, that would be awesome.
We could talk about, yeah.
Do you want to share anything about May 28th?
28th? So May 28th, for anybody who might not know, we are having an amazing Mansion 2.0 party
in Las Vegas at the Verona Sky Villa penthouse at the Westgate Hotel and Casino. And it's during
Bitcoin week. It's a Wednesday night, so it's the middle of the week. It's hump day, just fitting.
And yeah, it's invite only, so we're not hump day just fitting and um yeah it's gonna it's
invite only so we're not selling tickets the last time we had a party there we we it we invited a
bunch of people but we all we we sold a bunch of tickets but we're not doing this time we are just
keeping it real the guest list real tight and um you have to come into our discord to find out if
you you know if you want to come to the party.
Come find out how you can get a party pass.
But if you're a VIP and you hold a gold key, you're automatic entry.
And we do something special for our VIPs.
They come early and we do a special champagne toast.
But there's also other things inside the party that the gold key will access only if you have the gold key. So, yeah.
So that's what's going on for may and joelle and
i um are party planning as as we speak on a daily just putting it all together and it's coming
together very very nicely and um the space the venue itself i like to brag about it because it's
so awesome i wish i lived there is it was featured in the movie the hangover
it was where elvis lived when he had a 600 concert residency um when it was used to call the hotel used to be called the international or i think it was the international um and so this
was his actual suite he didn't always spend the night but this is where this was his and they
kept it true to how it looked when he was there um and it
does not look old i thought oh my god it's gonna be so old and the rug is gonna be all crazy but
they keep it pristine it's it's like uh an italian castle or something inside it's 15 000 square feet
and has a pool outside area and um the views from every window is nothing short of like spectacular and yes and it's going to be
you know open bar and gourmet food and some live entertainment and the main purpose of the party
is you know networking with you know not just high net worth people, but really amazing people in the Web3 space, Bitcoin CEOs and other people, movers and shakers in the in the in our industry.
So it's like it's like being on the golf course with steroids like you.
It's a great place to chat it up with people maybe would never be able to meet in person.
So, yeah, I'm really excited about it.
It's gonna be lots of bunnies and, um, yeah, we're, we're, we have some other entertainment
going on, but I'm not going to talk about it until we have it set in stone.
And, um, everybody that we tell, everybody's very excited about cause it's, it's a lot
of fun and it's silly, but it's a lot of fun. And yeah, it's going to be a great night.
And we'll probably, we have it going until two o'clock in the morning, but you know,
last time we went till 7am, a lot of us were just there till breakfast.
So we'll see what happens, but it should be, it should be a really fun night.
By the way, I just found my gold key.
It was on my other table.
Did you find your gold key?
I found my gold key.
I got it.
Yeah, what number is it?
69, of course.
Doesn't that sound like a whole bunch of fun stuff to do
inside the NFA building in Vegas when it opens, Sid?
What did you say?
The stuff that Victoria's talking about.
Wouldn't that be great to have inside the NFA
building in Vegas when it opens?
In Nifty's world?
That would be dope.
Hermie singing.
Hermie's not singing.
Herm, let me ask you, no pressure.
I'm getting my fingers. i'm like i have my thumb like waiting do we have any you're working it out do we have any idea what's up i know
we're not no pressure but do we have any idea what's up um the devs told me about five minutes
ago that they're dealing with the team at dynamic xyz that we're using for the wallet spin-ups and that we're
hopefully close, but I don't want to make any promises. So no problem. Yeah. Um, I'm working
on it and I apologize. I do want to circle back to what Victoria was talking about.
The last mansion party, um, they did a really good job about making everybody feel like they
were VIP, but they also had a section that was roped off for VIP. So they
did a great job of token gating a certain area, but also making everybody feel like they were VIP.
So I've told that to Victoria personally already, but I wanted everybody to know, like,
if you get an opportunity to get one of those keys, get um the vips are legit vips um but if you're not
fortunate enough to to get one of the keys you still can you know attend if you uh if you if you
uh make very close friends with victoria and and choose your words carefully but um i don't know
how the tickets are down this year but that's not how you get a key. Come on. I know, I know, I know. I was just saying.
How do you get a key?
You get to miss it, right?
You get a key if you own a legendary epic Rogue Bunny's trading card.
You can find them on the secondary market.
You could also be an owner of one of the derivatives that we do once a year.
We have a derivative contest. We do a contest, and whoever wins the contest, we make it into an NFT.
We auction it off, and whoever buys that NFT becomes a VIP.
Our gold Genesis, which there was 13 of them, they sold between $500 and $8,000 a piece.
Everyone that bought one is not selling them.
But all those people became gold Genesis.
We also have an ordinals collection.
You buy one of those ordinals and it you get an instant
vip access you get your gold key so those are the few different 101 what about a 101 go show
well i i guess i guess i i guess the you mean the one i made for you yeah that's a gold key. Exactly. I guess, yeah.
Yeah, you're funny.
Yeah, so those are, yeah, those are the ways.
You can't just be my friend.
So many people are like, oh, I'm your friend.
I get a key.
No, the keys are, they're all numbered.
Your inscription, your membership number for VIP is on there.
And I said this last time in the last one of the last rooms,
someone said, well, what if they sell their NFT that's connected to the gold key? I keep a spreadsheet of who's connected to what number key. And when that NFT sells and the next person gets
it and they come in and get verified and claim their gold key, that old key becomes a key chain. So that's how
that works. That's dope. I wasn't saying that if they were friends with you, they'd get a key. I
was saying if they were friends with you, they might get access, but I was joking more than
anything. Yeah. To the party. Yeah. Yeah. Hermie, are you a gold key holder?
Yeah.
Hermie, are you a gold key holder?
I am not a gold key holder.
I was not allowed in the VIP area.
I was cut off.
Darian tackled me and then sent me out to the front and told the bouncer.
But I paid the bouncer $26 and he let me stay.
Interesting.
Yeah.
Yeah, we kept it really tight.
We kept it really tight. So the only people in there were VIPs and the, and the play and the bunnies. So, and that was, there's three suites inside of this suite, which is really cool. And this particular one suite, which is like, I guess a bedroom, it's just, they're huge. Um, is that was Elvis's bedroom bedroom, like his bed toilet his everything so we made that the a lot of
people were sitting on the toilet saying oh my god this is where you know like you can imagine
but um so that's where we had like the extra VIP and there's a huge window that um over the pool
that looks into that bedroom when the curtains are open so you could see what was going on there you
just couldn't get in unless you had a key but the j jacuzzi was in there, and there was a private bar in there,
and girls were signing autographs, and, yeah, it was cool.
It was fun.
Well, I'm excited for it.
I feel like the last one was amazing, and I'm looking forward to seeing what –
I know you guys have learned a lot from the first one as well,
so this one I'm looking forward to as well,
and everything that is coming with that.
But I feel like I'm stumbling over my words
because I'm trying to type to the devs right now too.
But Goof, I'm going to pass it off to you for a second.
VDK, I know you've got your hand up.
Yeah, there's that.
VDK, go.
It's been passed.
Ocean.
Oh, okay.
I was like, is he passing it to you or me?
Anyways, Rogue Bunnies, I'm just going to step over Goof here.
I own domesticated free roam bunnies. Does that help me? Griffin and Penelope and they are actually like ready to do tricks for you. They do circles on command. They know lefts and rights.
on command. They know left
and right.
Wow. That's impressive.
Yeah.
I will
step by game
if it gets me access.
Awesome.
Well, you have to come in our Discord.
Find out.
I will come. I have
videos.
We're going to have fun.
Anyways.
You know who you should join your Discord?
Is me.
Right?
You haven't joined the Discord?
Like, I no longer feel guilty.
I know.
I've seen the ads more than you probably.
I'm at your Discord.
I know.
Well, to be honest,
I'm not really in my own Discord either.
Bad, bad, bad.
I struggle with the keeping up with the Discords.
So I haven't really.
Well, it's not your job.
It's not your job.
You're the artist, so.
Yeah, but I do enjoy that social connection with the people in the community.
So I need to take the time to do it.
It's just taking the time.
He's the person that hasn't figured out as a dev.
This is the funny part.
As a dev, he hasn't figured out you can right-click, delete all when it comes to those those red ticker marks yeah yeah oh i'm not worried
about the red ticker mark oh i i live with a phone that says i have like a thousand emails
that are unread and you know what i've got like 20 000 yeah i get it um like my phone now says we will not show you emails go elsewhere
yeah no my the number is larger than will actually like display yep i i hear you there
um and my voicemail's full it It's kind of the life I live. Yeah. Rogue Bunnies, either you goof, so we can give Hermie the pee break he needs.
You goof or Rogue Bunnies.
Can somebody in the Megatron or tell me that it's already there.
Where is the discord for rogue bunnies?
Please tell me.
You can go on my PFP and my profile for rogue bunnies.
And there's a link there.
Yep.
I will be there before you.
Yeah.
If you have a May 2005,
does that get you a gold key? I have bunnies that do. What do you have a May 2005, does that get you a gold key?
I have bunnies.
What do you have?
A May 2005.
A May 2005 what?
I don't know.
Anything from May 2005?
Why May 2005?
What's the significance of the date?
Does that not mean anything to you?
May 2005?
That's like the future.
Should it?
Well, you're being cryptic.
What does it mean?
I don't know.
Where were you in May 2005?
That's so funny.
I was in a bunny costume, that's for sure.
Oh, my.
Okay.
So were you following along?
What's going on in May?
Yeah, like, what are we doing?
What was May?
May 2005.
Yeah, yeah.
What was it?
Well, it was an issue of a magazine.
Okay.
Oh, was that my amazing race issue?
I think so.
I have that issue right here.
Oh, okay. so I have that oh okay I was only that was all I could I wouldn't even known that if you hadn't have given me like a hundred times to guess all right well
listen well the collectors it's a collector's edition you know they don't
print any magazines anymore so all the magazines that are ever going to be printed of Playboy
are printed
and never to be printed again.
Are they going to release
actual, like, digital?
Well, they did for a couple
years, and it was a total flop.
Yeah, people want the paper copies.
Yeah, people want the paper. I would.
I wouldn't buy. I wouldn't... Most of the paper copies. Yeah, people want the paper. I would. I wouldn't buy.
I wouldn't.
Most of the paper copies have been, you know, beaten up, if you know what I mean.
So the people that really have pristine copies, those are worth a lot of money.
Yeah, they're going to start getting graded like comic books right now.
They just started that.
We're doing that actually
my company is grading them and uh we have a we have a platform that's coming out kind of like
courtyard and one of the items on there are playboys that you can send in and get graded
that's crazy that's amazing yep well if i had the first playboy and it had maryland in it
and it was signed by it's signed by hef i would
not be sending it anywhere it's just i just wouldn't even risk it there was so much money
and the other one that's worth money is um i think it's 1982 or three and it's the one with the
john lennon interview i have it um yeah that one's worth a lot of money all of a sudden
because that was his last interview and then he died two weeks later.
Yeah, I have that.
So after that was published, he was killed.
So there's a couple key magazines,
random ones that you wouldn't think about that are worth a lot of money
that collectors are jonesing for.
Oh, yeah.
If I have – sorry, i was going to ask victoria if i have
audio evidence from a live twitter space from 2023 of someone trying to break into a crispy
cream drunk at 3 a.m in the morning and then realizing they were closed and going in and
ordering a quadruple cheeseburger does that that help me? Is that Herm the Perm?
I will not disclose any people's names.
You do it.
You do it.
How funny.
Oh, my God.
It was hilarious.
Live in the Twitter space.
Oh, my gosh.
Crazy.
Allegedly.
All right, listen.
I got to step down. I'm going to be listening.
I got all my six phones ready to go. As soon as you tell me, Herm, I got to step down. I'm going to be listening. I got all my six phones ready to go.
As soon as you tell me, Herm, I'm pulling the trigger.
Victoria, congrats.
Much love.
We'll chop it up on the bad channels.
Congrats, Craig, Jen, everybody else.
Make sure you guys are ready for this minute, y'all.
Actually, I'm going to stay up here.
I'm just going to keep my other phone in my ear.
I got to do my walking. It's already 630. I got to to stay up here. I'm just going to keep my other phone in my ear. I've got to do my walking.
It's already 6.30.
I've got to get my steps in.
So I'm going to be walking and getting ready to min at the same time.
I've got all six of them around my neck, so I'm ready to go.
Don't stumble and crush your phone.
You might look like that Asian gentleman riding around with his push bike
with all the phones playing Pokemon.
I think that's what Sid looks like right now.
But I want to give a quick shout out too.
I sent an invite to all of the VFriends community and I'm happy to say that there's several
of them in the audience right now listening.
So shout out to all of my VFriends family for showing up and supporting us.
all of my vFriends family for
showing up and supporting us
so I'm in
the discord
probably ahead of you goof
yeah
I'm sorry?
I'm in the discord
now for rogue bunny
oh yeah I should join
yeah you should.
It was that easy.
Just click on Rogue Bunny's
profile.
ADD pretty bad.
I start to do it and then
get distracted.
It sounds like an excuse.
Oh, no, it's not an excuse.
It's an explanation.
I actually tried it once and then
I discovered that the link I had was
expired.
And I'm like,
well,
I guess it wasn't meant to be for this month,
but I just joined the rogue bunnies discord.
I'm officially there.
Tag me,
say hello.
Cause I'm just going to say a friend of mine who might or might not be in this space
was like, you know, BBK, you have two bunnies.
So if you can get the bunny thing to stick, you need to get two bunny verifications, I
guess.
One for me, one for them.
So I'm ahead of you.
Yeah. Nope. I've still got the
green I'm new thing.
And we'll see if I can unearn it or move on
from the green sprout in Discord.
I don't even know if there's a thing to move on from like i said i
don't spend a lot of time in the other communities you guys actually talk and have you know like
conversations like there's actually like people enjoying each other's company in this discord
how about that yeah this is like the new, I don't know.
Like who needs Telegram?
Like that's ew.
I don't know.
We do Telegram too.
But our VIP channel is where really, you know,
the most of the action is happening. Discord is like community.
That's where you can be family.
You share photos.
You're like, I'm cooking today today i'm tearing apart my kitchen i just like it because we can have we can basically keep everything organized
yeah events announcements drops trading people's what's people's birthdays like all kinds of stuff
going on like keep it all nice and
so many people are like i hate discord i don't know what they hate about it i think it's great
i mean you know what i mean you actually love people's birthdays too because i well i mean
these guys are always saying happy birthday birthday and well they are always saying happy
birthday to the playmates and I don't always
I have to get reminded
from them they all know everyone's birthdays
so yeah I'm always like
oh shit I gotta message
I have a birthday channel where people
can drop their birthdays
I have a birthday calendar
and I tweet
them all
cause I'm lame like that oh my wife would love you
like she's super birthday she's like celebrate it for at least a month no she
is cancer yeah, close enough.
I think we're both cancers.
We're both on like the opposite ends of cancer.
I am the same way.
All of March is my birthday, but I celebrate people all year long.
Well, sorry I missed your birthday.
Happy belated.
It's fine.
I turned 40.
Oh, congratulations.
I did that last year.
Yeah.
Don't get introspective.
It doesn't help anything.
No, no, no.
Not gonna.
Not gonna.
Anyway.
When mint?
Did you say 40?
Yeah.
I'd donate my testicles to science to be 40 again.
I'll take them.
Because I don't want to be 40.
I tried that, Craig.
It doesn't work.
Oh, damn.
There goes my plan.
Thanks, one.
There goes my plan.
Anyways, I'm just killing time
being facetious
being feces
as my Australian friends
would say
maybe not Craig
I don't know
but the Australian friends
the Shrallian friends
I know would say I'm being feces
We say a lot of
stuff that's just complete rubbish
don't worry about it
I agree with that statement right there
it's lovely and it's in a
fantastic accent it just
doesn't make sense
I know
we're not here to make sense
you're being pieces
that's the joys of being an australian is that um americans expect you to make sense but you
don't have australians no but we don't expect it from each other right yeah like how do you guys
get anything done or do you they don't oh we always get we always get
our shit done but it's like a process okay and you the things that to get done are just
everybody knows that it's shit and you're gonna get it done yeah okay so nobody places priority
on anything like a year later it's maybe done yeah? Yeah. It's a different shit now.
If I decided I wanted to paint my house,
it would take me three years,
but it didn't get done.
Three years.
Yeah, I like that.
I'll make my house look nice
before I sell it.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Until then, it doesn't really matter what it looks i redid does it count
like i redid my spices and my pantry yesterday including building the new pantry like i built
yeah amazon is my friend yeah i don I don't get you much.
Is it like a standalone?
No, no.
We built a six-tier bookshelf
type pantry.
Okay.
But is there a door on it?
Then it's not a pantry.
Well, it is for me.
I don't know.
I don't really feel a certain way about it.
I don't really.
I'm not invested in my opinion, but I think I do have it.
All right.
Well, my spice cupboards beats your spice cupboards goof.
There's no way you're more OCD than me.
No, I'm definitely not.
No, I'm A, D, D, D.
Oh, well.
I don't know what the third D is.
That's just very...
Decisively A, D, D.
A, D, D, D. That's a dad.isively ADD ADD
That's a dad
It's the bestie of them all
Yeah
Decisively
I don't know
I'm not a dad either
I'm just
I just like making up words
I am not either
I'm clearly not a dad
However
I am not either. I'm clearly not a dad. However, I am OCD completely.
My spice cupboard beats any of your spice cupboards.
However, I really want to hear from Hermie, who is going to tell us I can mint now because I also like the cards.
I don't know.
I didn't know that you had the insider knowledge. Hermie, she says that
you say that we can do that now.
I'm waiting to hear
from Hermie. I think
he's actually on a call.
He might not be here.
He's probably hearing
and just not able to respond.
That's the best time to...
When do you need
a hand up to talk?
You've got your little
xylophone thing
going.
It's Tricky Buddha from
DeFi Space Talkies.
I gotta do the intro first.
I'll sit here quietly until I'm called on.
Those are the rules. Even if I rug and
come back, that's the rules.
I got to do it.
It's a positivity brain hack I came up with, basically.
It sets me in the right mood, and I don't talk otherwise.
I just stick to the rules.
I figure out the tricks, and I stick to them.
I don't make them.
I just figure them out.
That's tricky.
Yeah, I'm very tricky.
I just wanted you guys to all retweet the space.
We got a lot of people in here and not enough retweets.
So get down there and quote retweet this thing right now.
Tag three friends.
I'll do a giveaway for the room as well.
I'll drop some tokens on some Solana.
Some Solana tokens we're going to be cooking with.
I'm not going to even say what it is, but you're going to get a bag.
So tag three friends, retweet the space space and we are actually live right now as well

Metarides minting with rogue bunnies with this amazing art from Goof.
So we are just tuned in to you guys and sharing the love.
Keep it going.
Goof, I have some questions for you.
I might answer them.
Yeah.
So you did a lot of this stuff in Blender.
How long did it take you to get get so prolific in blender like i use blender and i love it and i wish i was better at it but
how long did like there's so much going on with it it's like the cockpit of an airplane
it kind of is um and honestly it all started started with A Kid Called Beast a couple years ago.
I got a Beast, and I'm like, cool, this is a 3D asset.
Let's see what I can do with it.
And it started just, you know, changing some clothes, dressing them up, you know, changing the lighting, changing the scene, and just kind of working my way into it.
And I have other characters that I've developed over the years.
One of them is called Retro Bot.
And I've always had this idea of him 3D rendered in my head.
And I just kept working towards that video, essentially.
And then I let it be a part of everything that I was making and creating.
If it was an ad for any company, Web3 or otherwise, I would try to incorporate 3D in the thing that I'm doing.
So I'm learning and working at the same time.
same time and so I'd say it's been about two years now and I do work a lot of hours a day
And so I'd say it's been about two years now.
so I've put in some thousands um yeah but like you said it's you can go so many different directions
um as far as what you can create in 3d um what I knew was coming, but was still very enlightening,
was the process of moving into asset development
beyond just a cool rendering.
Because I can make a lot of things look really cool in Blender,
but that doesn't necessarily mean that it will work in a game in Unreal Engine
or in Unity or in, you know,
different partner metaverses.
You have to, you know,
there's steps to go through.
And that will...
Can you take a render out of Blender
and pop it into Unity and create a video, an animation?
Like a model?
I guess.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yes, you can.
Depending upon the environment, there might need to be some work with the textures and the materials.
I see.
That's some of the big, I mean, you can bake those into a model, but depending upon how they're rendered and, you know, your setup, there's always going to be a little bit of tweaking.
So, for example, to make sure that all of our cars work and all of our partner metaverses and everything, we actually have
multiple models of each car built. So the Zara car, for example, there's the Zara, there's the
Zara Lite, and I actually kind of have a medium one, and they have different amounts of triangles.
So depending upon how high resolution the metaverse or game is that you're using,
we have a version of the car that we can, with the same exact graphics, plug it in and it'll work,
you know, everywhere. Wow, that's so cool. I think it's interesting that Unity has become such a big,
It's interesting that Unity has become such a big, I guess it's not a platform, but a software animation.
Because when I worked for IGT, I worked for IGT doing game design and animation from 2010 to 2014.
And the studio I was working under, in, out of Reno, they were developing Unity at the time.
It wasn't even a thing yet it was like just
coming onto the scene and we were required to learn it in that was like what we had to do to
keep our job was to like kind of learn it um but so that's kind of interesting now because i hear
about unity all the time so and i don't know anything about it. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of like Unreal Lite.
It's a little bit simpler when it comes to rendering,
which is great for mobile and quicker developed games.
quicker developed games,
but you lack some of that ultra realistic-ness
that you will need Unreal Engine or something else for.
I see.
And so like our first,
like the beta that we have on Steam
was built on Unreal Engine
and it is super ultra realistic, 100%.
Now the game that we're developing on mobile
is still going to be very realistic but it's not going to have
all of the triangles in the car to reflect all of the light and everything it's right right right
um and that's just how you know different people are. I wish that you could just do both with either.
But it's a bit of a jump around right now.
So I've had to kind of learn both of those as well.
That's awesome.
Yeah, AI helps with that stuff, especially when it comes to kids.
Yeah, I don't know how to get AI to work inside of those things.
At some point, you're going to have to give me a little tutorial to kind of get me started.
But yeah, I'm really interested in like, I don't want to use too much AI, but I definitely would like to try and like see, you know, get ideas.
And it's great for getting ideas, not for just fully using like whatever it spits out
but you know using sort of like kind of getting started and going okay I see I wouldn't have
thought of that and like so yeah I'm really interested in in doing all that I wish I had
studied animation and everything so long ago and just been more prolific in it now um you know
my background is you know oil on canvas and galleries and that kind of a thing
so like the game design and stuff was just a small period of my life and I feel like that was so long
ago like the technology has come so far so you know I'm somewhat limited you know nowhere like
I'm limited yeah the basics apply and I don't know I would I would actually really enjoy doing
some like screen sharing and like
having some fun to create some stuff yeah totally yeah we'll definitely have to
yeah that would be that would be so fun um yeah that would be amazing I like watching other artists
work because I just like you can kind of just learn so much. Not saying I sit over your shoulder, but I'm saying I've sat behind some amazing digital animated artists,
whatever, and it's amazing.
It's like watching someone play a video game really well,
and you're just like, yeah, it's so cool because they're so good at it.
Same thing when someone does something with graphic art,
any kind of graphic art, when they're really good at using their tools.
I find it really super interesting to watch them work and,
and like seeing things develop like right before your eyes.
Like that to me is like really exciting.
So I really appreciate all the,
all the art and all the hard work that you guys have done.
And so, which brings me back to when, when, when, when, when.
Um, when, when, when, when.
When, when, Hermie, I believe is on the phone. Hermie!
So we just got a note saying that the devs are working on the dynamic wallet integration.
Now everything else is ready to go.
So he's on a call with them now.
So we could be very close.
Thank you for your patience, everybody.
Yes, of course.
I know it's a Wednesday and, you know, we're just cooking in spaces.
But it's going to be worth it, I promise.
There's some really freaking cool stuff out here.
And I have to quickly even respond to what we were talking about with art
real quick Victoria what you just described is like I'm in awe of that and I have it with my
father he's a like a kinetic sculptor he does mobiles like big installations places and
watching him work in like the real 3D space, because he's making a 3D sculpture,
has like watching that is like the most inspirational thing I think I can do.
And it hasn't ceased yet.
He actually was calling me during the space.
I think we might have gotten like a big sculpture gig that we're going to do.
It'll be our first father-son um collab you'll have to you'll have to post some pictures in the discord yeah
and i'll be actually be around like yours and my rides will be the discords that i will be in
yeah it's yeah i always i post i like posting pictures in the discord for the community
i'd rather post there than actually on social media because like you know social media is like
a bunch of people i don't know so you know what i mean sharing kind of some stuff is a little more
personal so i like the old facebook when you used to see stuff from your friends and family
yeah yeah yeah oh my god facebook yeah i know people still use Facebook, and I do have a Facebook page, and people message me, and I don't get to it for, like, three weeks.
I just never – I don't log on there very much.
It's really hard for me to get onto Facebook.
I don't know how people do all of them.
I don't either.
Like, I have a lane, and it's, like, barely showing up on Twitter and sometimes responding to DMs.
And my Facebook, every time I log in, it's like, oh, your password doesn't work.
It's like, what are you talking about?
I changed my password.
I go back in, I save it.
Your password doesn't work.
I changed my password like almost every time I have to log in.
You know what's funny?
I have the same password from when I logged in, like first signed up for Facebook.
When you had to be a student at a university to sign up for Facebook. Oh my God. 20 years ago. Oh my God.
20 some years ago. Yeah. Same password. Super secure. Oh my gosh. I think it's cute. You think
I'm being patient. Oh, you're not being patient?
I mean, you sound pretty patient, honestly.
I suppose I am.
Ocean, you've got your hand up for a minute. I'm chomping at the bit more, though.
I know.
I'm dying here.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
I'm ready.
Is that my go-to?
Rock and roll oh okay
I'm Zimba no Wesley Willis
I throw my hand up every time
I'm just like
I know
well
where we at what you got
I just like goof
thank you
can we talk because i want to know your creative process
all the fun jazz yeah and then rogue bunnies like you are my girl
hermy tried to tell me, but, like, you failed.
He actually didn't, like, he, like, excelled at putting you at the pedestal you need to be at.
However, I just, I don't know.
You're amazing I feel this should be like a
Reunion show and
We talk about
Way back when
In our
MetaRides
How far back are we going?
How far back does your MetaRides experience go?
Are we talking
Are we talking music
Metaverse and marketing spaces here one uh
it would be from what for me it would be when i first contacted you guys about your metaverse
vehicles and how excited i was to hear about them which was probably more than two years two and a
half possibly yeah it'll be two and a half to three years since that started,
since we connected with you, that's for sure.
When we were running the music marketing and metaverse Friday night space
every week for, you know, almost a year.
And the games and the Discord, as people were talking about earlier.
And you're in Australia, right?
Yes, sir.
Oh, so I have to ask do you know billy t
coin who damn it that's not you're just supposed to say yes billy yeah no it's another else guy
in australia that i know and i asked two australians earlier if they knew him you know
how that you guys should all know each other down there type joke. It's a big place. Australia is a big place.
And I'm in West Coast, so I'm in Western Australia.
So we're like three hours behind the East Coast of Western Australia.
Now, see, they played along wonderfully.
They said, let me think now.
We all went to that one school.
There was 40 of us.
Yeah, there was Billy Teacoy was there with us.
See?
I think I might have run into him on the football field once.
I knew it.
My first MetaRides experience was before MetaRides, and it was hanging out with these guys in a late night NFT space.
As the relationship of Hermie and Craig blossomed and ideas were abound, MetaRides landed, and I was on the sid and need knew that they needed some logo help.
So without being asked, I just designed a bunch of logos and sent them to them.
And, uh, one of them was a version of what the current Meta Rides logo is.
Um, yeah, like it's, and then I just kind of been along on the sidelines until, I don't know, about December or so.
And then I full-timed it and decided we're going to do this thing.
And it's been nonstop since then.
When they came out with the tires around the thing, God, I had some fun with that.
I couldn't do Blender, but I was playing around with Paint 3D,
and I made a bunch of different things.
I remember.
I remember.
The rabbit hole one was the best one, I think.
Oh, man.
I can't remember a specific one, but I remember you doing them.
Didn't you do them for people specifically?
No, I wasn't asked to.
I may have done some with some of the different NFT projects.
Okay.
Maybe that's what it was.
Yeah.
But, yeah, nobody asked me, so I just forced it upon them.
Yep.
I'll give you a quick one or two-minute rundown on how MetaRides was actually born,
if you're interested.
So Hermie and I were on the marketing team for a metaverse project called the Isles of Meta
and the square meterage of the Isles of Meta was like 250,000 square kilometers square miles however
you want to phrase it so for you to for you to transport yourself from one side of the island,
of the Isles of Meta to the other side,
if you were walking with an avatar, we worked it out.
It would have taken you like three years in actual physical time
to walk your avatar from one side of the island to the other,
250,000 square miles, right?
So obviously Hermie and I being
business and marketing people we put a proposal to the owners of the Isles of Meta about vehicles
and transportation methods and those included you know hot air balloons dune buggies helicopters
planes boats you know all different types of vehicles.
And, you know, they weren't in a position to create all of that at the time
because they were too busy focused on building out the metaverse world.
So MetaRides was born.
And, you know, we found a great team of developers back then
who built our MetaRides racing game that is currently on Steam in BetaTest.
And, yeah, so it was a long process.
That was over three years ago now that that concept came out.
Hermie and I originally had another project called Collab Island, which was a division of the Isles of Meta where we had our own island and partners could collaborate and own an entire street on our island, you know, like Road Bunnies Boulevard or Goof, you know, Goof Lane, whatever it be.
And all of the houses and the properties on that street belong to the project.
And then the project got to sell them to their
community as their residents in the metaverse and then obviously things happened and the market
crashed and you know the Isles of Meta project was put on hold so Hermie and I wanted to continue
building we didn't want to put everything on hold so we came up with the concept of metarides
did a hell of a lot of research on um you know the branding the name and uh you know here we are
today three years later with um you know launching the fantastic partnership you know we were blessed
to meet victoria over two years ago in the space.
And, you know, Darcy and Dylan from Stardogs and Income Island.
And, you know, I've been a friend of Darcy Donovan's for, you know, a long time.
And then, you know, she decided to open her own metaverse, being Income Island,
or be part, you know, have that project come up.
So it was a natural progression for Hermie and I
with that relationship we had with Darcy already
and Dylan to explore that.
And, yeah, now we've been in discussion
with over 50 different metaverse worlds
for the integration of our assets.
And we're working with, you know, Expectar at the moment.
Our digital dealership is already in the Expectar metaverse. And part of that was one with, you know, Expectar at the moment. Our digital dealership is already in the Expectar metaverse.
And part of that was One Existent, you know,
the constant communication and collaboration with One Existent
in terms of the metaverse, because for those people who don't know,
he is one of the elite, knowledgeable people when it comes to metaverse.
He is one of the elite, knowledgeable people when it comes to metaverse.
So the discussions with one existent on that integration of our assets into the metaverse
and then that progressed on to how do we make them interoperable so that you can drive them
in a game and take them outside of the game and put them into a metaverse environment so you know it's it's been a
long slow grinding process but um you know we're happy to sit here today and say that you know we
have interoperability working uh goose played a huge part in that over the last two years as well
um goof originally um is the gentleman who created the metarides branding the logos the
colors um so you can thank goof for our beautiful metarides branding um so it's been really cool and
and the music integration that you guys already know about where, you know, MetaRoads Radio plays inside all of our vehicles and our assets.
Again, has been a slow build, but, you know,
we're blessed now to have Frank Nitti,
the hip-hop producer on our advisory board.
So, you know, in the future,
you'll see a lot more hip-hop themed activities coming up.
I can't say too much about it, but, you know,
it's a natural progression for us again, like I said.
And, you know, one day, who knows,
you might even see something really cool around the hip-hop theme
inside a metaverse world.
So not dropping any alpha, but keep your eyes out
because there's some big things coming over the next 12 to 18 months.
And we're very excited to be here
with you all and building this out and you know the one thing that we would do want to say is if
you have any concepts any ideas that you want to see for the use of your assets that you mint and
you purchase we want to know about it you know you can you can reach out to myself, Hermie Goof. You can reach out to even one existent,
to Dylan from Stardogs and Income Island.
And all of that information will get fed back to us
because we want to build what the community want,
not what Mike and Craig and Goof want,
but what the community want in terms of gaming assets
and that metaverse integration.
So please, please reach out to us if you have any ideas, concepts,
thoughts that you think would be of value that you want to share with our team.
So that's Better Rides in a nutshell.
That was awesome.
It's so good to see you too again Craig I know you had to you had some things to take care of and I'm glad to see you
back out in the space it's been a been a rough year but you know we we all go
through tough times and we all lose people in their lives that that we don't
want to lose but we're here and you know for those that we don't want to lose,
but we're here.
And, you know, for those people who don't know,
I lost a close friend of mine from my sporting life just on Sunday,
just gone.
He had a heart attack while gardening in his front yard at the age of 42.
So, you know, this week's been tough as well.
Well, glad you're here with us now, for sure.
And that was wonderful to hear the story.
I don't know if we're supposed to be able to see them,
but I just happened to go check on the cars that I got.
And I see the traits, although they haven't revealed yet.
They're what, the airtop cars?
Yeah, sorry, you got to go.
The pit pass?
Yeah, I'm guessing that's what they're from.
Or do you own unstoppable cars?
I, yeah, I, yeah, I, I have quite a collection.
Okay.
Um, it, it could be some of both or either.
Um, it's all happening.
Uh, well now before now.
So it's, um, and the metadata will be showing up here obviously in the next few days as um everything gets sorted out on the ipfs and all that nonsense
nice yeah i just i just happened to go take a look at one and saw some of the traits.
You got musician, song, and music on there with the MetaRides radio.
Do the musician and songs, do those come included on some,
or is that for something later?
Those are currently built out as traits to be filled in.
There's not a current musician or song as we sign and integrate the artists and things like that.
That is where they will reside.
Basically, yeah, building for the future.
Awesome, awesome.
That's kind of what I thought.
Looking forward to that MetaRides radio, too.
That was a great idea you guys came up with
and you you're in line for a couple models too aren't you
i have no idea i'm just here okay
but would you mess around with them if you had them of course okay yeah um you mean of the cars because yeah ask the guys how many times did
you guys hear me ask about that oh i know that's why i'm clued in i'm aware that these things are
coming to you um yeah let's have a conversation and um we can make that happen sooner and later.
Awesome.
I got two Nylings that are supposed to be my explorers and they need a way to get around.
So there we go.
I will also say this one is that,
or Alan, however you want to be addressed,
that we are also currently looking at the Motorverse.
So I'm quite close with a number of people on the executive team
at Animoca Brands and the Motorverse.
the motorverse so we are looking to at some point in the future integrate our racing games and our
So we are looking to, at some point in the future,
assets into the motorverse alongside other big brands like talk drift racing is in there
rev motorsport is in there lamborghini is in there uh delorean is in there so we're looking
and and have started those initial discussions
to integrate everything we're building into the motorverse and for those people who don't know
what the motorverse is it is a metaverse based on the theme of motor racing and motorsport and car
enthusiasts so every single aspect inside the motorverse is all based around cars and racing.
So there will be a number of different racing games inside there.
And as Animoca brands, through their Gravitas Labs partnership, continue to build out more Web3-based racing games, they will also be included in there.
So I know they already have over 250,000 people signed up for the Metaverse
and for the Motiverse, sorry, and using the Metaverse.
So it's going to be really cool.
I think the Lamborghini World opens in the next two weeks for the public.
So it's going to be really really really exciting to get in there i've
seen some vision and some footage of what the lamborghini setup looks like in the motorverse
and they have like a museum in there with all of the models of lamborghini they have um
like a showroom they have a place where you can purchase assets and things like that.
So it's really, really exciting what's being built out here
in the Web3 metaverse space, and we want to be part of it all.
So very cool.
Have you done much with the metaverse or seen much on the metaverse one?
Craig, you got me.
It's the first one I've not heard of that somebody else told me about.
It's owned by Animoca Brands, who, for those people who know,
are one of the major sponsors of motorsport around the world
and, you know, one of the biggest gaming companies in the world.
So they're under their Rev Motorsport division.
So it's really cool.
And like I said, we're hoping to continue those discussions with them
to integrate MetaRides inside that world at some point.
Hermie, go.
Okay.
Can you guys hear me?
Yes, yes, yes.
Okay. Okay, can you guys hear me? Yes, yes, yes. Okay, so everything was fixed, and they were ready to go,
and then all of a sudden, the spot where you connect your wallet,
and you have an option of choosing Coinbase or MetaMask,
or entering your email, and it gives you a wallet for you,
that changed, and it was the only option that came up was to enter your email and it gives you a wallet for you. That changed and it was the only option that
came up was to enter your email to create a new wallet, which we don't want to do exclusively
because everybody has their wallets ready with USDC on base to make the purchases.
So where we stand right now is best case scenario tonight is that we would be minting in an hour and Victoria and I have decided that we're going to move this to tomorrow night at 8 to make sure 8 Eastern time by the way to make sure that everything is fully safe for wallet integration.
safe for wallet integration.
Nobody has to move anything to make any purchases,
and nobody has to create any new wallets
that they don't want if they don't want it.
I know that you guys have stuck with us tonight,
and we appreciate that,
and we're sorry for the way that this is playing out.
I promise you that these assets are worth the wait.
I would argue that Goof and Craig and I
will figure out a way to take care of, you know, at least the first buyers tomorrow night, but probably all.
We'll do something for the buyers tomorrow night.
But where we stand at the moment is we don't want people East Coast to be up at midnight minting.
If you have a place to be Thursday morning, that doesn't make sense.
And we apologize that you have to come back, but we figured if we set it at eight o'clock tomorrow night, we'll do the same thing as we
did tonight. Eight o'clock space, 8.30 mint, but we'll be ready at 8.30. And again, we apologize.
So sometimes these things are out of our control and right now they are. Not really thrilled with
it. And I feel bad for everybody that hung with us tonight.
But I will say, of course I went through the collection, but it's worth the wait, I promise.
So with that being said, we will spin up a space for tomorrow night.
I don't know what else to say other than that we're sorry and that this is awkward and it's not the best case scenario, of course.
But the assets are the most important thing at the end of the day.
And we want you guys to own them, collect them, and have them to represent the Rogue Bunnies brand in a very big way.
So hopefully that all made sense.
I don't know whether Victoria is still in here or not.
It doesn't look like she is.
So I'll explain all of the details to her after we get off this call.
But I just, again, I want to make sure that it's right.
I don't want to rush it.
And I also don't want people to have to meet at midnight or one on our schedule.
We would rather do it on your schedule.
And let's do this again tomorrow night.
So if you have something tomorrow night, I'm really, really sorry.
For those of you that didn't get USDC on base, now's an opportunity to have a little bit
of time to do that. And again, I don't want to make jokes out of this. I'm not really thrilled
about how this is playing out, but I do know that safety is paramount and making sure that
the wallet integration goes as planned and as it should,
and it's not something that we force on anybody to do it a certain way.
So hopefully all that made sense.
If anybody has any questions,
I will most definitely leave the speaker panel open for a few minutes.
Feel free to jump up and ask.
If not, I totally get it.
But let's just plan on Thursday night, 8 o'clock Eastern time,
mint at 8.30, and we'll have our ducks in a row and make sure that we're ready to go for you guys.
Hopefully that makes sense.
It's the joys of Web3, brother, in dealing with so many different aspects and so many different integral parts that have to all come together.
So there's always going to be something that doesn't click
or where something doesn't align.
And we've seen it with the biggest brands in Web3, so we're not alone.
And we appreciate everybody for hanging out. And hopefully we'll see you all back here when in doubt blame the artist
okay it's goose fault i was thinking it was whoever said that uh you know it wouldn't it
wouldn't be uh right if there wasn't some sort of hiccup along the way who said that yeah who was
that who said that earlier i heard heard that. I heard something.
World of Tings.
It was Domies.
I'm going to go. Oh, Domies.
It was Domies, yeah.
It's his fault.
I thought it was nifty.
I'm blaming Domies.
So, again, I just want to be super clear.
8 o'clock tomorrow night, Eastern Time.
Join us again.
Don't worry about us, you know, starting the mint early or whatever.
We will hold it off just like we were going to have it tonight.
And it'll be a fair launch, a fair mint.
Just plan on 830 Eastern time on Thursday instead of Wednesday.
And again, we can't apologize enough.
But given where we are at the moment, we don't want to force a way to mint on anybody.
And we don't want it to have it in the middle of the night for anybody either.
So, again, I'm going to stick around for a few minutes, and anybody that wants to request to come up, feel free to join us, and we'll do what we can to answer any questions.
X, did you have a question?
No, no, no.
I kind of got to the end of this, and I'm just kind? No, no, no.
I kind of got the third end of this, and I'm just kind of like, yeah,
winging it. I'm winging it.
Okay, fair enough.
Goof, Craig, anything else you want to throw in?
One existence?
No, like I said, we just appreciate everyone's time,
and we wish it was a little bit smoother and we didn't have this one component that is keeping it unsafe.
But as Hermie said, it's wallet safety and security is paramount to us.
And we just want to make sure that everything's done, you know, 100 percent and there's no hiccups when you actually get to minting.
So, again, appreciate your…
Yeah, the painful part is that the security part was done
and addressed and fixed, and then the wallets didn't load properly
for you to be able to load your wallet of choice
where your funds are to make the purchases.
So, but we'll get it squared away. Uh, same time, same place
tomorrow night. Um, if there's anyone else that wants to jump up and ask a question, feel free
to, if not, we'll shut it down and see you tomorrow. Um, yeah, um, not super thrilled with
this, but it is, I guess, a part of web three and I would argue this is more than a hiccup,
but, uh, but we'll make it right tomorrow night
and get these things minted.
So if anybody has any questions too
that you think about either tonight or tomorrow,
hit us up in either the MetaRights Discord,
the Rogue Bunnies Discord.
Feel free to DM the MetaRightsX account.
We'll do what we can to answer any questions for you
that you might have, but not ideal, but at least we still have all the assets that are available tomorrow night. So
appreciate you all. And if nobody else requests a mic in the next few seconds,
then I think we're going to bounce. Craig, Goof, anything else you want to wrap with?
I just appreciate everybody's patience yeah um same and
i apologize i feel bad um nobody's fault nobody's fault i what i tell you what i'll make a deal with
the space for anybody that can hear me i will post one of the other legendary video reps tomorrow
um i know it's not going to make this right, but at any rate,
there's still some crazy assets out there
that are still available,
and we'll make this go right tomorrow night.
Let's do an OG vehicle giveaway
from Unstoppable,
and I'll also throw in one of the new ones
that came by.
I'll throw in two to be given away tomorrow in the space.
Well, One Existence, don't give away the old ones
because that collection is going to be shut down.
But I'll make that deal even better.
You keep yours.
We're going to give some away from our collection.
So we'll include that for tomorrow night as well.
Yeah, we'll figure out bounties
or something to make this right, but we'll
jump on that and
yeah, let's make it a Thursday
mint party instead of a Wednesday. So
appreciate you all. Appreciate your patience
and hopefully we'll see you tomorrow night
and I will schedule the space in the next half hour
or so. Much
love everyone.
Get some rest. Don't stress on it.
Appreciate it.
