🍋‍🟩💦 Teaquila Time: After Hours with Ninja Cat Live

Mexi opened, started her music… and discovered several minutes later she'd been on mute the whole time. "I was jamming by myself," she admitted 3:01, blaming an AirPod and a mistimed mute button, then made it up with a "Baby I'm Back" that turned out to be perfect since Bubba was returning from vacation.

Cody reflected on 22–23 months of building with Bubba and the team, and the bittersweet feeling that comes with giving so much: "when it comes your turn, you're like, where are they? That's okay, because we're here and that's what matters." Mexi said she could run a whole space on that sentence alone.

Crypto Cam checked in "feeling amazing," fresh off a birthday skydive at 13,000 feet — "I fucking feel like I've been born again" 17:09 — and pledged to counteract space negativity with pure positivity. His advice for online drama: "put your phone down and walk the fuck away" 18:38.

"Burby" reported on Pacific Northwest wildfire smoke, freezing grapes and making ice-cube snacks for his chickens in a rare heat wave, plus milling 40 acres of walnut trees. He and Mexi bonded over trading DoorDash "war stories." His organizational takeaway 43:16: if you're not organized in Web3, you're on "a one-way ticket on the burnout train."

Bubba laid out the philosophy: charts, volume, liquidity and viewers can all be faked — consistency and organic growth can't. He'd rather have "10 people here engaged and having a good time" than 200 silent listeners, and he protects family time fiercely because burnout is what killed the old "pop up a space, pop up a space" approach.

Max popped in to gas up the Ninja Cat crew but had a higher calling — his eight-year-old wanted to play Fortnite. A warm run about savoring the years before kids disappear into group chats gave way to the running bit of the night: his uncle is "his gardener," he'll put in a word with Ninja 52:33… best case, "some tips on how to get some perfect rosebuds" 52:45.

Teen speaker Alicia talked junior year, a play-to-earn game called Ultra Kingdoms, and gothic homecoming plans — then discovered Cody used M Shadows' playable character in Black Ops and listened to A7X while working in a maximum-security jail. Her fun fact that Synyster Gates and M Shadows are brothers-in-law "broke my own heart," Mexi said 1:11:05.

With Bubba too humble to say it, Cody spelled out the load: a full-time job started in January, a homestead and farm, three kids at home — all balanced against Web3. Bubba then described telling his family about the vacation and having them instantly clear the streaming dates for him 1:16:41.

Asked why vulnerability matters, Cody kept it short and real: four years in therapy, "still in it, still doing it. And that's okay." He talked about working to bring his inner child back out, and about the DMs after a heavy space — "thank you for that space, I needed that" — being what keeps him going.

The energy spiked when Slick Ric arrived mid-work ("I was taking money right now"), preaching never to change for people who don't want better for you 1:47:44. Cody credited Ric with helping him find his voice on one of Ric's spaces 1:50:42. Ace showed up to give Mexi her flowers — "you've been growing through what you've been going through" 1:56:27 — and the two traded so many one-liners Mexi joked it was like watching two AI bots talk to each other 1:59:12.

Broadcasting from Romania, Chicken gave the room a builder's pep talk (never abandon an idea, just set it aside until it clicks) and hinted at a new tool he's building — "the tangle" — to instantly connect new NFT users to their community, designed for his platform first and later as an add-on for X. His style: show, don't tell.

Bubba's hope for how Ninja Cat is remembered: "I want to give more than I take." Cody, refusing to just echo him: that they "remained who we are since day one, and never changed or altered for the worse for approval from others."
