Highlights
The trait-trading masterclass.
CEELOS talked Solo through how to land a "prince" trait without overpaying — buy the 0.02 as insurance, but open your offer at 0.015 and creep up every three hours. He cited his own piggy conquest as proof the method works: "boom, somebody immediately took it."
The state of the forties.
Asked how he celebrates the holiday, CEELOS delivered his thesis on adult life — "it's just you and your lady... you, your lady, and your internet friends" — to which Solo added the only correct amendment: "And my pugs."
"Did you notice anything different about me today?"
Val fished for it and CEELOS finally clocked the blue check — she'd bought X Premium. The victory was short-lived; she announced almost immediately that she wanted to delete it.
Val vs. the app.
A sustained, sympathetic bit as Val tried to figure out live streaming, ran into "definitely can't do it from the fucking Android," and landed on a heartfelt "Hate this fucking app" — right after CEELOS thanked Elon "and the boys and the girls" for it.
Pharaoh makes weight.
Pharaoh explained cutting 25 pounds to fight at 175, why fighters drop classes for leverage, and the mental grind of a real cut. The emotional payoff: after years of failed attempts, he finally hit the number — "I beat the first task, which is make weight."
Three out of four.
CEELOS used the panel as a fitness intervention — toomazing on calisthenics and high reps, Pharaoh cutting, Solo running — leaving one holdout. Solo defended himself against the running interrogation with "I just have bad genetics, bro. Leave me alone," blaming a farmer dad and a Mexican mom.
Two-on-two callout.
A round of hoops trash talk broke out — CEELOS proposing he and Solo run it against the panel, promising "sixty-nine blocks," while noting toomazing had to strap a sleeve on the other knee too.
The archive dive.
CEELOS went full historian, pulling up screenshots to date everyone's arrival ("Solo, first time you pop up — episode 67," countered with "Day one my ass"), old Vegas meetups, sandals-and-drink-tickets photos, and Val dodging every camera she's ever been near.

Did you notice anything different about me today?
Hate this fucking app.
Bro, I've never made weight. I beat the first task, which [is] make weight.
I just have bad and bad genetics, bro. Leave me alone.
The older you get, the younger I get.
Who said what
- CEELOS (host) — ran the room, delivered the trait-offer coaching, served as chief archivist of the group's photo history, and fielded gentle jabs about turning 44.
- Solo dolo — runner-lifter, Claynosaurz pug and bear holder, defender of his own genetics, and self-appointed planner of the birthday dinner.
- Valerie Kates — spent the hour battling X Premium and Android, wanted to go live, and successfully avoided being in nearly every photo CEELOS surfaced.
- Pharaoh — jiu-jitsu competitor who cut 25 pounds to make weight for the first time, with the next tournament in late October and possibly one more class to drop.
- toomazingTM — the calisthenics-and-high-reps guy, patron of a beloved cookie plug, and a firm voice in the chip debate.
Worth a full listen
- 15:00–23:48 Pharaoh's full weight-cut breakdown is genuinely informative: water weight vs. carbs vs. fiber, why fighters drop classes, and the psychology of chasing a number for years before finally hitting it.
- 30:03–43:00 The photo archive stretch doesn't summarize well; it's the friend-group history unfolding in real time, timestamps and old sandals and all.
- 43:00–51:00 Pure Labor Day food talk — BBQ chip heresy, the "extra mayo" ordering philosophy, and the saga of toomazing's married cookie plug — best experienced live.
