# Co-work with the BurningBush: everybody gets an anthem

**Host:** Burningbush (@BurningBush_eth) · **Date:** Thu, 5 Nov 2026 · **Duration:** 1:57:43 · ~12 speakers (plus a lot of AI vocals)

## TL;DR
- A casual co-working Space that turned into an all-day anthem factory: Burningbush generated a custom AI song for nearly everyone who came on stage — Ace, Justin, SLICK RIC, NANA, 4five, Maaaaahhhaaaaa, Cub, Jed, and finally the whole room.
- Two new apes celebrated: SLICK RIC picked up a cream M2 he found badly underpriced [26:26], and Cub closed on a zombie mutant with gold hoop mid-Space after a day of stuck ETH [1:26:19].
- Dan (@brokenrealitydh) previewed the next Recap extension update: pipe music straight through your Space, live soundboards, and live clipping of hot-mic gems [45:43].
- Burningbush laid out his build pipeline: a self-made "Spotify" for the songs (700+ tracks, karaoke mode), a four-button Guitar Hero–style game, plus two Re:gen games in progress [38:52] / [1:00:08].
- Jed explained why he hand-picks and gifts regions instead of running buy-five-get-two promos — intuition over incentives [1:38:51].
- The room closed with a goodbye track ("let me close the door gently") and migrated to the Re:envisioning Space [1:55:25].

## Highlights

**[3:23] Robots on the ocean floor, crystals in Hollywood.** Ace (@the1440club) described going to a robotics event where the first presenter pitched autonomous bots that mine minerals off the ocean floor — which landed differently for a man who, as he put it, sells rocks for a living. That rolled into a genuinely good tangent on Arkansas clear quartz growing without matrix versus Brazilian quartz [4:47].

**[5:37] The Arkansas chapter gets founded.** Cub (ʟʟ.ᴄᴜʙ.ᴋɪɴɢ.ᴇᴛʜ — @LLCubKing) revealed he's in central Arkansas, which Burningbush — a Kentucky man with strong opinions about running water — received with the warmth of a rival duck hunter. By [7:01] it had become a plan: a weekend crystal-digging camping trip, "that's our Arkansas chapter."

**[12:55] Justin Duke's intro, then his anthem.** Justin (@aKIDcalledDuKE) introduced himself as a golf instructor and club fitter running a mobile Club Champion studio between the Bay Area and Scottsdale, and also a cinematographer/director — he let his PGA Class A lapse because it had become "more of an ego chase" and he gets more out of fitting [13:47]. Minutes later the room heard "Picture this, dude," a track that managed to rhyme shaft flex and launch monitor data [15:11].

**[21:09] Cheetah gang supremacy and secret sleeve monsters.** Burningbush explained why he hunted so long for a cheetah mutant — you can't think of cheetah gang in BAYC without thinking of NANA — and called cheetah the best OG fur outright [21:43]. That became practical advice: pull the 3D files on OS Wiki before you buy, because his own smoking jacket hides two eyeballs, a cigar and a mouth halfway down the sleeve [22:28]. Cub countered with the mutant he once saw in the Otherside wearing nothing but flip flops [23:25].

**[26:26] SLICK RIC's cream mutant.** Trait searching, he found a clean jacket with the bones coming out, checked the last sale, assumed someone had made a listing mistake, and sniped it. He also gave an honest arc of his five years: in through gambling and "caca coins," into NFTs via Re:gen, and converted for good by IRL events and friends like Tim, McFly and Ghost [26:51]. Dan requested a West Coast groove for it, and got one [33:03].

**[45:43] Recap, and the hot mic hall of fame.** Dan walked through the extension: browser-based, equalizer, music piped through another tab, and live clipping — "if somebody says something incriminating, you can capture it" [46:50]. Exhibit A was a previous host who forgot she was unmuted and reviewed her own Space in real time. Dan's origin story: he missed a Re:gen Space, built the tool, gave it to the regens, and it now has over a million recorded reactions [49:08].

**[1:01:38] The AI conversation.** Maaaaahhhaaaaa reflected that we're heading into an age of extreme saturation, after which a select few will treat these tools as their paintbrush — and that his lifelong non-technical artist friend now runs an agent for his environmental business while Maaaaahhhaaaaa is in the art world: "literally parallels flipped." Burningbush's take: it's all a communication skill, and he cuts his model off rudely when it misbehaves [1:03:21]. Dan framed it as a technological art class — you see someone else move and realize you could move like that too [1:04:35].

**[1:20:04] An apology ballad to a cheetah.** The bot described NANA as "leopard" in the group track. Burningbush publicly corrected his robot on the record, then commissioned a full soul apology song — "You're a cheetah, not a leopard, I was wrong" — complete with 70-mph-stride verse and an on-the-knees "cheetah, please" bridge [1:22:30].

**[1:26:19] Cub gets his zombie.** The purchase he'd teased in the first five minutes finally landed: a zombie mutant, devil horns, dead eyes, gold hoop earring. His ETH never showed up, so a friend who'd just hit a 20k sports bet fronted him [1:34:24]. That opened a run of similar stories — Justin's ape bought for him by a friend, and Burningbush's Kentucky bank flagging an ETH purchase as fraud and closing until Monday, so the money went through Apple Pay, through Dan, and eventually into Ghost's ape [1:35:19].

**[1:38:03] Jed on why he gives regions away.** Fresh off hearing a soundbite about Patron, Jed said he just goes with the feeling that somebody needs a home — he tried buy-five-get-two incentives last year and called it the worst way to onboard. He also offered to hand-pick a region for Burningbush's dad so he could come hang out in Spaces himself [1:42:23], a few minutes after the host admitted he'd turned down a round of golf with him that morning [1:41:38].

## Who said what

- **Burningbush (@BurningBush_eth)** — host, engine room: generated every track live, walked through his music app, Guitar Hero game, and 18 parallel projects, and kept the room moving.
- **Cub (ʟʟ.ᴄᴜʙ.ᴋɪɴɢ.ᴇᴛʜ — @LLCubKing)** — co-host energy all session; teased, sweated, and finally landed a zombie mutant on air, plus the practical buying advice on 3D files and traits.
- **Ace (@the1440club)** — early anchor; crystals, the robotics event, Florida event logistics, and relentless gratitude-is-the-attitude good will.
- **Justin_Duke.Studio (@aKIDcalledDuKE)** — newest arrival to the club; golf club fitter and cinematographer, Bay Area/Scottsdale, got the first full intro anthem of the day.
- **SLICK RIC (@richj530)** — new cream M2 owner; told the five-year journey from shitcoins to Re:gen to IRL events, and heads to a Christian men's retreat and a Raiders game this weekend.
- **Dan (@brokenrealitydh)** — built the Recap tool; previewed in-Space music piping, soundboards and live clipping, and framed AI as a shared art class.
- **NANA (@seannana)** — popped in to work and vibe, praised how current the songs feel, and received both "Signal Flow" and a formal apology for being called a leopard.
- **Maaaaahhhaaaaa (@Maaaaahhhaaaaa)** — the most reflective stretch of the Space: saturation, paintbrushes, and watching a non-technical childhood friend out-automate him.
- **Jed (@jed_131)** — Re:gen founder; explained hand-picking and gifting regions, got a Mob Deep track, and left to host Re:envisioning.
- **4five (@champcuhz)** — hype backbone, first in and last out of the previous night's Space, and subject of a dancehall "four five six" banger.
- **BuckdUp (@buckd_up)** — dropped in to welcome Justin and compare conference calendars before going back to work.
- **Jay Day (@JayDayETH)** — called in from 17 hours of driving to congratulate the new mutant owners, then got ribbed by Jed about the gym.

## Worth a full listen

- **[1:01:38]–[1:06:35]** — the AI segment with Maaaaahhhaaaaa and Dan. The only genuinely contemplative stretch of the Space: saturation, who survives it, and whether politeness to the machine is a retirement plan.
- **[1:20:04]–[1:25:23]** — the leopard/cheetah incident and the resulting apology ballad. Reading about it does nothing; the song has verses.
- **[1:26:19]–[1:36:00]** — Cub's mutant landing live, and the chain of stories about friends fronting ETH and banks blocking crypto purchases until Monday. The best illustration of the room's whole thesis.
