Highlights
The streetwear drop postmortem.
Papii walked through the New Quirk City results — the pizza club shirt outsold everything by a wide margin, with the pigeon trucker hat second, and the khaki "I Love New Quirk City" hat selling exactly once.
Piff's accidental one-of-one.
That single khaki hat went to Piff (@RealPiffsPeak), making it a true 1/1. Piff, who'd just been marveling about it with Coach in the group chat, declared it's going in a glass case: "It will never be worn."
Kirk the Quirk in costume.
Papii spun up the idea of a life-size Kirk the Quirk mascot for the NYC event — "I'm talking coach in the costume, signing autographs" — and Coach reportedly texted back that he's "a thousand percent ready."
Big doors, no hype on the timeline.
Papii said he'd just had the best conversation of his professional career, with "some of the biggest doors" opening for Quirkies and a strong confirmation from someone "in a very high place" about the Quark Kids direction — pointedly kept off the timeline for now.
Blockies and the $1,500 figurine.
Papii detailed the upcoming Blockies collectible and pre-sale, noting the partner team's coin gecko figurine now lists around $1,500 on secondary; whales holding 15+ Quirkies get first claim on the 1-of-100 Kirk the Quirk blocky.
Yew takes the mic.
In his first real Spaces moment, Yew called Quirkies the one project he'd pick above all others, describing himself as a "stoker" who wakes up, pops on the app, and lifts people up — and tying his surfing/action-sports life to the brand's original edge.
The mic saga.
Sho's audio cut out entirely. Yew joked this is exactly why he avoids Spaces ("running around the house trying to find that Wi-Fi little corner"), and Margie B (@MargieAponte2) confirmed it was an X-wide bug — Woofy had the same problem hosting earlier. The fix: host from the Quirkies account and speak from the co-host seat.
Yew gets vulnerable.
Asked what would surprise people about him, Yew dropped the good-vibes armor for a beat to say he has real struggles and a lot of emotions, and that he'd rather talk them through than bury them.
The Quirk Kids origin story.
Papii's most heartfelt stretch — how the idea "spawned," how Jed brought back three samples and both instantly picked Molly's, how the shark-onesie reveal nearly brought the office to tears during Art Basel, and how the one-of-one companions were born on the fly (a stethoscope left on the ground, a last-minute skateboard for the skater quirk). He framed Quirk Kids as central to the doors now opening.
Sho's arc.
With Sho still inaudible, Papii traced her journey — "I'm never coming on stage" to "I'm never gonna host" to now hosting one of the community's most active Spaces. Yew credited it to the onboarding chain that started with a trade he set up, calling Quirkies "that home that everyone needs."
Notable quotes
dude, do we realize like I got the only iHeart Newcork City hat? Like it's a true 101. Like, there's none more of its existence ever.
Something that surprises me is that I'm human, that I'm emotional... I don't knock off my emotions, I talk them through.
We can laugh because it's not your problem. It's Elon's problem.
I really want quirkies to be looked at as like the new age supreme, quicksilver, billabong.
I know you every one of us know of this here, like that just haven't found quirkies that are soon to find home... quirkies are that home that everyone needs.
It's a very popular term in like surfing... I thought it would just be a cool, easy name.

Who said what
- Papii (@RealPapii) — co-host; drove the roadmap recap and the interview, and voiced Sho's every line once her mic died.
- Sho (@AgogoKaren) — the show's host, entirely inaudible this episode due to the X bug; her questions reached the room only through Papii's echo.
- Yew (@yew_eth) — the guest of honor; day-one holder, surfer, and connector who framed Quirkies as home and himself as a stoker there to lift people up.
- Coach (@punkrockcoach) — brought the back-half energy: the mascot volunteer, the surfer pitch, drone war stories, and the "I love YEW" bit.
- Piff (@RealPiffsPeak) — owner of the accidental 1/1 hat headed for a glass case.
- Margie B (@MargieAponte2) — diagnosed the audio failure as a platform-wide X issue and suggested the host-from-Quirkies workaround.
Worth a full listen
- 59:59–1:03:14 Papii's Quirk Kids origin story is the emotional center of the episode; the play-by-play of picking Molly's art and inventing the companions doesn't compress well.
- 1:11:13–1:14:37 Coach and Yew's easy surfing-and-drone tangent (including Yew fishing a grounded drone out of the ocean near a naval no-fly zone) is the loose, funny heart of the room.
- 1:20:43–1:22:15 Yew and Papii tracing Sho's crawl-walk-run climb to host, all while she can't be heard, lands better in real time.
