# Weekly Doom: Doom Summer

**Host:** Doomsayers (@DoomsayersNFT) crew — J Burn & Sirski leading, Lex absent · **Date:** Tue, 21 Jul 2026 · **Duration:** 1:31:01 · **~5 active speakers**

## TL;DR
- The "Doom Summer" roadmap got laid out end to end: Bloodberry Sauce **2.0 mint Aug 1**, the **void/sacrifice opening Sept 1**, a meme airdrop (Jul 27), tiered **records airdrops (~Aug 10)**, trade nights on the 20th, a Lex Tezos drop (Aug 31), and a Doom Dollar burn (Sept 14).
- J Burn has **8–10 new songs queued** and briefly shared a private SoundCloud of the next ~10 drops for early listeners, promising to delete it after the Space.
- Sirski walked through **2.0 whitelist curation** — ~17–18 communities, all through founders and friends he already knows, ~50 wallets each; holders of **5+ dooms get GTD**.
- The **one-year anniversary** was confirmed for **Aug 28** (first Doom minted Aug 28 2025, 11:11am) and will get its own drop.
- Wide-ranging market talk: OK DGen's ETH migration and its new "poodles" companion collection, What The Cluck called a rug, DDG/NPC sitting near $50 floors, and base drama (Armstrong/Pollak, Kobe stepping in) with hopes pinned on a future base token airdrop.
- Discord hangout Wednesday night, hosted by Crypfu.

## Highlights

**[15:13] — 2.0 nerves with 11 days to go.** With the mint eleven days out, Sirski admitted he's nervous — "it's my first actual like mint" — but clarified the stress is logistics (wallets, spreadsheets), not sell-through. J Burn shut down any "what if we don't mint out" talk: doomsayers alone will clear it.

**[17:11] — Family over market.** The strongest thread of the early stretch: Sirski explained the whitelist wasn't cold outreach to collab managers but reaching out to founders and communities he's already close with. J Burn reframed it — most projects "act like they're talking about collectors, but they're talking about the market" — and Sirski agreed the real question is "who you bringing in or choosing to be your family."

**[26:01] — The anti-monetization rant.** J Burn told Sirski to keep doing exactly what he does and not chase engagement, with a broadside at pay-for-clout Twitter: the people getting paid are "fucking assholes," never posting anything actually helpful. He softened it into real advice — long-form posts sharing your own opinions are worth it, "and your opinions are worth money at times."

**[28:53] — Doom news, front to back.** J Burn ran the full roadmap: meme airdrop Jul 27, Bloodberry Sauce 2.0 on Aug 1 ("we're gonna see who actually loves us"), a tiered **records airdrop around Aug 10** — no more 700-supply drops, capped at 200 or less so "records gotta be at least semi-rare" — trade night on the 20th, Lex's Tezos drop Aug 31, and a Doom Dollar burn Sept 14.

**[36:04] — Hunting the birthday in the chain.** After J Burn insisted he doesn't care about anniversaries and refused to scroll six thousand times through a contract, Crypfu just pulled the mint date: **August 28, 2025, 11:11am** for Doom #1. Somewhere in there the group agreed their collectively trained scrolling fingers are why "we all have arthritis." Anniversary drop confirmed.

**[40:30] — OK DGen's poodles.** The crew broke down OK DGen finishing its ETH migration and dropping "poodles," a wearable companion collection with a holder snapshot (five DGens → five poodles). The art-history tangent landed on Jeff Koons' balloon dogs and a glass artist doing functional (bong) versions — J Burn giving the concept an 8/10 as a complement to the main collection even while insisting nobody who isn't "a 50-year-old widow" actually wants a poodle.

**[1:00:47] — The line-art trial.** A long, loud, entirely friendly argument about What The Cluck's artwork. J Burn defended its thin lines against Space Riders' "half a dick thick" outlines; Crypfu (art school) and Sirski held that the traits are random and tell no story. Once everyone zoomed in on the messy edges and missing outlines, they came full circle — What The Cluck is low-effort "hot dog roll" art, Crypfu's rug-callout stands.

**[1:13:35] — "If my life depends on sucking dick, I'm gonna die tomorrow."** Sparked by Sideshow's point that Space Riders' longevity counts for something, J Burn went off on surviving-by-flattery and, more broadly, on fandom: there's a way to show love without groveling, and he'd rather you tell him *what* about a song you like. Capped by a genuinely unsettling story **[1:15:22]** about a real-life fan who "moved to the area that I think you live in" — the downside of actual fans.

**[1:22:26] — Base, from the top down.** Sideshow gave the room's clearest constructive take: Armstrong and Pollak "created a mess," Kobe stepping in is a good move, but ultimately "we don't need them to give a shit" — base is what its people make it. He laid out the real catalyst as a future decentralization + token airdrop, which everyone agreed would be "one of the biggest airdrops ever," with J Burn and Sideshow both noting they're keeping a toe in Robinhood and Panini for the same reason.

## Who said what

- **J Burn** (@SupportJburn)\* — music-maker and de facto host driving the whole show: the roadmap, the records drops, and the blunt hot takes on art, market, and fan behavior.
- **Sirski** (@sirsapient)\* — co-host running the 2.0 mint logistics and whitelist curation; the more measured, market-aware counterweight.
- **Crypfu** (@thecrypfu)\* — artist co-host; called What The Cluck a rug and teased his slow-cook "behemoth" collection where a town springs up around your NFT the longer you hold it.
- **Sideshow** (@Sideshow42000)\* — the grounded base voice, arguing the ecosystem is what its community makes it, token or no token.
- **Chambo** (@akachambo)\* — OG artist since 2021; bought his fifth Doom on-air, planning a collab with Chaz Gold and asking J Burn for audio to pair with a piece.

## Worth a full listen

- **[1:00:47]–[1:08:22]** — the What The Cluck line-art debate. It starts as a genuine three-way disagreement over Space Riders vs. Cluck and ends with everyone zoomed in on the same messy pixels agreeing it's low-effort; the register is the whole point.
- **[1:13:35]–[1:15:39]** — the fandom bit. The "survive by sucking dick" tangent into a real-life stalker-fan story carries an energy no paraphrase survives.
- **[1:22:26]–[1:24:36]** — Sideshow on base. The clearest, most constructive stretch of the Space, mapping out why the token/airdrop is the real catalyst.
