Re:Building Together EP 288 — Thank God It's Monday

Host: CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) · Date: Mon, 10 Aug 2026 · Duration: 1:02:47 · Speakers: ~4 (host + 3 regulars)

TL;DR

• No project spotlight today — with no prep meeting on the calendar, CEELOS kept it a loose, start-of-the-week hang about "the good times."
• The big news: the Regenerates are officially joining Unvault as a partner collection, with holders getting an allocation of Genesis Bugs phase-one mint spots. Details promised at the later Jed Talks space [23:00].
• The Regen sales bot would not shut up all hour — waves of 8- and 10-packs swept off the floor, pushing the collection toward its ~0.1 ETH mark for what the team figured was the third time.
• Recurring PSA: with the market heating up, scammers are back — revoke.cash and tighten your wallet [21:49].
• Warm well-wishes to teammate Slick Rick heading into back surgery [51:30].
• Plenty of friendly ribbing about CEELOS's AI-generated "dancing/old-man" edits of his friends, and Solo dolo's still-locked wallet.

Highlights

Why no spotlight today [10:15] — Baked asked if any projects were worth mentioning; CEELOS was refreshingly honest that the Google Sheet was "full of a bunch of blank spots," so rather than come in half-assed they'd just enjoy the Monday and talk about what's coming up.

The Regen ethos [28:00] — CEELOS laid out the through-line of the whole project: "how do we bring value to our community so that they don't feel the need to sell their assets." A quiet, sincere beat that landed with the room, followed by a promise that the team simply isn't going to stop showing up.

The Unvault announcement drops [23:00] — Baked, still driving, pinned the official post to the Buildatron. CEELOS read it live: Regenerates welcomed as Unvault's newest partner collection, holders getting Genesis Bugs mint spots, full reveal at Jed Talks. His honest refrain: "I have no idea what's going on… I'm excited, you know."

Team pride [43:00] — Watching notifications pile up, CEELOS reflected that the whole crew used to be "just NFT buyers" and are now a team building with genuine conviction — proud to see others take notice.

Floor-price deadpan [45:06] — On hitting 0.1 again, CEELOS imagined texting Jed only for Jed to insist on holding the floor for the bot. Woof's verdict: "That don't count now. That was before — this is now."

Aura farming at Jed Talks [47:47] — CEELOS floated getting on stage later purely to "aura farm," admitting he knows nothing and just wants to "look pretty" and put another Regen PFP on the panel. Woof happily signed up for looking-good duty too.

Bullying Solo (lovingly) [51:30] — The running bit that Solo dolo locked himself out of his wallet holding his Regen resurfaced again, prompting Solo's defiant "I'm gonna spud the regions to the day I die… their community lead keeps freaking bullying me." CEELOS's rule of thumb: he only makes fun of the friends he cares about.

Good vibes for Slick Rick [51:30–52:57] — Genuine team warmth as CEELOS and Woof sent good energy to teammate Slick Rick ahead of his back surgery — "may God guide the hands of the people performing the surgery."

The eclipse / lose-gravity send-off [1:00:34] — CEELOS closed with news that Ms. Valerie was in Spain for Wednesday's eclipse — the same day "conspiracy theorists say we're gonna lose gravity for like 12 seconds." His advice: wear comfortable clothes for cushioning on the way back down, "and if not, then we could just point and say, you see, nothing happened."

Who said what

• CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) — host; ran the whole hour solo-ish, narrated the Unvault news, the sweeps, the wallet-security PSA, and steered the loose Monday-vibes format.
• Baked (@Bakedmetax) — co-host phoning in from his van/on the road; talked up his in-progress game, pinned the Unvault announcement, offered to walk CEELOS through the DERP mining bot on Discord.
• Solo dolo (@solodolo) — dialed in from work between professional-development sessions; good sport about the locked-wallet ribbing and the AI edit, reigning "most-clipped" regular.
• Woof (@WoofArmyXX) — praised for his comic-book pages and consistency; tracked the sweeps alongside CEELOS and plugged his 9 a.m. space tomorrow ("welcoming is a skill, not just a personality").

Worth a full listen

• [23:00]–[27:49] — The Unvault × Regenerates announcement read live, plus CEELOS's genuinely affectionate history of how he met Red Goat Queen and how one of her Donuts traits came out of a late-night Ape Chain space conversation. Nice window into how these communities actually formed.
• [45:06]–[51:30] — The stretch where the sweeps, the floor-price banter, the aura-farming bit, and the wallet-bullying of Solo all overlap; the summary flattens the easy back-and-forth between CEELOS and Woof.
• [1:00:00]–[1:02:00] — The closing run: teammate love, Slick Rick well-wishes, and the eclipse/lose-gravity riff that sends everyone off laughing.
