Highlights
The Rick James intro
The Space opens with a full musical cold open — a "naughty by nature" bar leading into a rowdy "In the Ghetto" singalong, capped by the immortal sign-off before CEELOS grabs his earbud and gets things rolling. 4:52
Meme-coin "landmine city"
Paperhandpapi (@PapiOshu)* describes hopping back on Pump.fun whenever Solana runs hot and finding it "just like landmine city, baby." Baked notes you're lucky to catch "a little 2x here and there." Both agree the general vibe is: be careful out there. 13:29
"We're back"
Buying random sub-five-dollar mints they can't explain — CEELOS compares it to penny slots — becomes the group's proof that the good old degen times have returned. As Paperhandpapi puts it, he "could not tell another normie" what he's buying right now. 19:08
Skateboarding at 40-something
CEELOS talks candidly about heading to a packed skate event coming off the worst knee injury of his 30-plus years skating, umbrella and personal fan in tow. He and Paperhandpapi riff on kids now casually landing tricks that used to be pro-division stuff. 21:24
Baked's cat, the neighborhood lover boy
While explaining plans to adopt the stray they've fed for three years, Baked recalls his indoor cat once escaping and trotting out from under a neighbor's car side-by-side with her: "I know what you've been up to." His little girlfriend is coming with them to the new place. 38:39
30th out of 20,000
Baked shares that his one-prompt-challenge game placed 30th out of 20,000 entrants — no cash (only top three paid), but a real result. He walks through building the prompt in ChatGPT for a day and a half before porting it to Base 44, and lays out his ambitions for a Gelatics game and a more NFT-inclusive runner à la Subway Surfers. 46:51
Trading 101 for an NFT guy
Baked patiently explains buy-in limits and sell/liquidation limits to CEELOS, who admits he only knows the NFT side and stays away from coins because "when a coin eats shit I'm just staring at a red number." 51:04

Notable quotes
Never mind who you thought I was. I'm Rick James, bitch.
You survive in the ghetto, you can make it anywhere.
That meme coin shit is crazy… it's just like landmine city, baby. You gotta be careful, dog.
I could not tell another normie what I'm getting into right now.
I know what you've been up to.
Why you guys brought me back here bro? I was happy, not buying shit. Just living life.
Who said what
- CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) — Host; ran the check-ins, shared his coffee-networking night and background "opportunity," his skate-event nerves, and steered the trading talk from the sidelines as the self-described NFT-only guy.
- Baked (@Bakedmetax) — Co-host; the week's most active thread — house-hunting, adopting the stray cat, dabbling in Solana blue chips, and building games (30th of 20,000 in a challenge, a Gelatics game in the works).
- Paperhandpapi (@PapiOshu)* — Speaker; back on Twitter after heads-down coding for clients, just turned 32, traded meme-coin and skateboarding war stories with CEELOS.
- Solo dolo (@solodolo) — Speaker; committed couch-rotter for the day, dragged back into coin talk against his will for the comic beat of the Space.
- ValerieKates (@valeriekates_) — Co-host; largely quiet, locked in on an Ape Church poker tournament with ape and NFT prizes; affectionately dubbed the room's "degenerate gambler."
Worth a full listen
- 41:06–47:10 Baked's game-building walkthrough: the one-prompt challenge, the ChatGPT-to-Base-44 workflow, and the technical puzzle of getting Gelatics (and other IP) characters rendering right in a game. The clearest "what's actually being built" stretch of the Space.
- 50:29–54:27 A genuinely useful crash course in buy/sell/liquidation limits translated into NFT terms, sliding into meme-coin cautionary tales and Solo's deadpan protest at being pulled back into the trenches.
- 36:58–39:00 The full stray-cat saga, from the vanished rabid brother to the lover-boy reunion under the neighbor's car — a warm, funny detour that the bullet points can't carry.
