MIMU SNIPER SUNDAY -ep.21, hosted by @bert_baccaratt, Aug 23, 2026.

• The weekly Mimu-on-Ape sniping session hit its 21st episode ("legal of age"), running its usual format: hunt traits on the floor, admire combos, giveaways.
• HYPE launched a one-night "buy two Mimus, get one free" campaign (until midnight ET), stacking on top of ongoing sweeps that enter buyers to win two G's on Apes and a MAYC (drawn Sept 30).
• Mikey (@Mikey_Thereum) was formally welcomed to the team to build out the Mimu world in Unreal Engine / ODK — five phases, four biomes (molten, glacia, veldon, bone), token-gated trait areas, and a much-discussed "naked beach."
• Thrill (@ThrillsOnHood) walked through his weekend project launch hiccup: people sent mainnet ETH to a paused Robinhood contract; he swept and refunded ~$3,000 and left the mint paused.
• The show's headline moment: Gary Vaynerchuk dropped in for a ~25-minute monologue on how early NFTs still are, abundance vs. scarcity mindset, VFriends, and kindness.
• Plenty of music-and-banter filler: Grace sang, Bert DJ'd, and a running beanie-gang-vs-flip-brim bit refused to die.
