Weekly Doom: Doom Summer
Host: Doomsayers (@DoomsayersNFT) crew β J Burn & Sirski leading, Lex absent Β· Date: Tue, 21 Jul 2026 Β· Duration: 1:31:01 Β· ~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 8β10 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 β ~17β18 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] β 2.0 nerves with 11 days to go. With the mint eleven days out, Sirski admitted he's nervous β "it's my first actual like mint" β 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] β 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 β most projects "act like they're talking about collectors, but they're talking about the market" β and Sirski agreed the real question is "who you bringing in or choosing to be your family."
[26:01] β 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 β long-form posts sharing your own opinions are worth it, "and your opinions are worth money at times."
[28:53] β 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 β no more 700-supply drops, capped at 200 or less so "records gotta be at least semi-rare" β trade night on the 20th, Lex's Tezos drop Aug 31, and a Doom Dollar burn Sept 14.
[36:04] β 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] β 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 β five poodles). The art-history tangent landed on Jeff Koons' balloon dogs and a glass artist doing functional (bong) versions β 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] β 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 β What The Cluck is low-effort "hot dog roll" art, Crypfu's rug-callout stands.
[1:13:35] β "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" β the downside of actual fans.
[1:22:26] β 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" β 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)* β 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)* β co-host running the 2.0 mint logistics and whitelist curation; the more measured, market-aware counterweight.
- Crypfu (@thecrypfu)* β 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)* β the grounded base voice, arguing the ecosystem is what its community makes it, token or no token.
- Chambo (@akachambo)* β 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]β[1:08:22] β 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]β[1:15:39] β 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]β[1:24:36] β Sideshow on base. The clearest, most constructive stretch of the Space, mapping out why the token/airdrop is the real catalyst.
