# Mutant Monday: The Bush Is Burning — Doom Masks, Pack Rips, and a Live Macaroon Buy

Host: Burningbush (@BurningBush_eth), with co-host Ghost (@Ghost_Story86) · Mon Nov 2, 2026 · 1:29:30 · ~11 active speakers

## TL;DR
- A loose, very funny Mutant Monday: card-pack etiquette, a Doom-mask custody dispute settled by a custom diss track, and a running turquoise-vs-orange background rivalry.
- Carp (@nyccarp608) gave the clearest breakdown of the Mudwater TCG so far — the back card is the only guaranteed foil, but gameplay-relevant commons may matter more than rarity if the game actually catches on.
- BOOM (@jpgBOOM) and Carp's beef over an MF Doom regen resolved in the best possible way: the artist gifted BOOM the Doom piece near the end of the Space, and Jed threw in a Doom-themed Mechsicko on top.
- BOOM publicly buried the hatchet with Patron (@ALPHAisFREE) after a year-old falling out — one of the rare sincere beats in a very unserious room.
- Yummy The Artist (@Yummy_TheArtist) gave a full macaroon pitch (hand-drawn pixel art, Japanese crest lore, plushies inbound, organic TikTok numbers in the millions) and BOOM bought one live on stage.
- harri.eth (@harri_eth) came up specifically to co-sign the "ape over Rolex" thesis, then got an AI track made about him on the spot.

## Highlights

**[1:45] Jed gets his phone back.** After three days off-grid, Jed (@jed_131) reappears on stage, and the first order of business is the background wars — Ghost's new aqua vs Jed's orange, with the chat warning that "orange syndicate will not stand for orange slander." Burningbush cues up a bilingual low-rider track about turquoise vs orange [6:25] to settle nothing at all.

**[8:17] Jed on club culture.** A short, firm sermon on BAYC customs — say happy birthday every year, it's culture — capped with the one rule he really cares about: "Don't nobody say bassy, please." Burningbush follows with the story of Rita coming into a Space the night before to inform everyone, once and for all, that it is Rita and not Ryda.

**[9:08] IRL meetups and voice forensics.** Jed on finally meeting a longtime friend after four years, and on Tato, the listener who identifies people purely by voice — he was reportedly the first to clock Ben.eth on a mic. Jed's PSA on the end: don't buy into the bounty-offering token guy's stuff. "It's a trap."

**[10:08] The correct way to open a pack.** A genuinely heated procedural debate: open from the back seal, don't peek, definitely don't cut it with scissors ("that is not good practice"), and Lyss's verdict that scissors are "a fall paw." Tim's method is less orthodox — throw all eight cards face-up on the floor as hard as you can, Squid Game flipping-style, and see what you've got [11:07].

**[11:33] Carp explains what the cards are actually worth.** The most useful stretch of the night: the back card is the only guaranteed foil, but cards are packed roughly in rarity order, so the second-to-last slot can hide a legendary. More importantly, if the game gets real players rather than just collectors, certain gameplay cards will matter regardless of tier. Tim builds on it at [14:01], recommending mudwater.gg for deck-building and noting that commons set you up, uncommons start your attack — while cheerfully accusing Carp of sandbagging to win the Bored Ape tournament.

**[19:42] The Doom mask saga.** BOOM wanted an MF Doom regen; Carp won it with an entry featuring his nephew in an actual Doom mask. BOOM's explanation of his own lore — Doom became BOOM because he found Jesus but still loves MF Doom — is a monologue worth hearing in full [20:51]. Burningbush resolves it with a custom rap battle track, "Who gets the mask?" [23:31], and when Carp genuinely offers it up with no hard feelings, the room insists on fabricating some: "We have to create a fake beef if even if there isn't beef" [25:57].

**[27:30] Ape over Rolex.** BOOM, on selling his dream truck, credits a comment Jed left him: that he'd rather have an ape than a Rolex. "It's like a digital Rolex. And they're like, digital to who? And I'm like, digital to the people that I fuck with." harri.eth comes up at [29:36] to co-sign with the trader's version — supply math, no maintenance, and the point that a specific watch needs a specific buyer while the tokens are liquid — and gets a track of his own for his trouble [31:12].

**[40:52] BOOM and Patron bury the hatchet.** After a year of cordial-but-unresolved, BOOM takes the mic to apologize properly and say he loves Patron no matter what — "although his voice is annoying because he's from New York." Lyss notes it's the kind of thing you don't see much in Web3 [42:14], and Burningbush supplies the community's actual membership criterion at [44:47].

**[58:25] House rules, then the comedian draft.** Burningbush explains the one standing exemption from hand-raising in his Spaces — if you're a woman, you don't have to — and the room immediately puts it to the test. That rolls into BOOM taking so long to name his favorite comedian that Lyss leaves to start her own Space [1:00:09]; he eventually lands on Dave Chappelle, George Carlin, and a long, affectionate Cat Williams pimp-special story [1:00:33]. Jed's list is Eddie Murphy *Delirious*, then *Raw*, then Richard Pryor. BOOM then spends four minutes failing to retrieve the name "Bill Burr" [1:03:05].

**[1:11:22] The macaroon pitch, and a live buy.** Yummy walks through the collection: 2,000 pieces, 2K-by-2K pixel art drawn by hand, a Japan accelerator program, plushies on a boat from the manufacturer, and traits based on real Japanese family and city crests [1:25:44]. Somewhere around a $24 floor, BOOM shops out loud, gets talked off #1205 and into the samurai #1474, and buys it mid-sentence [1:19:28]. He follows with a heartfelt Wackyville appreciation — artist Uyo, founder Mac — and the observation that the 111-holder chat feels like 2022 again [1:22:18].

**[1:27:53] The payoff.** Just before migrating to Jed and Lyss's Space, BOOM announces the artist gifted him the MF Doom regen outright, and that Jed sent him a Doom piece from the Mechsicko collection on top. Everyone wins the mask.

- **Ghost** (@Ghost_Story86) — co-host and newest mutant, defending his aqua background and volunteering his (exclusively very small, big backyard) SoCal house as the meetup spot.
- **Jed** (@jed_131) — back from three phoneless days with strong opinions on club culture, background loyalty, pack technique, and Eddie Murphy's catalog.

- **Tim** (@tim_8093) — Mudwater deck-building advice, tournament context, and the floor-slam pack-opening method; left early, honorably.
- **BOOM** (@jpgBOOM) — the night's engine: Doom lore, a sincere apology to Patron, an anti-tribalism sermon, a live macaroon purchase, and a four-minute search for the name "Bill Burr."
- **Lyss** (@Lysss302) — football correspondent, tone-setter, and the one keeping the room's boundaries intact; left at the hour to start her and Jed's streak-keeping Space.
