Re:Building Together EP 302 — Mondays Are For Setting The Tone

Host: CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) · Mon, 24 Aug 2026 · 1:02:35 · ~7 active speakers

TL;DR

• CEELOS ran the entire hour solo after both co-hosts went completely MIA for the first time — his running gag for the episode ("show must go on… they'll get a very stern text message").
• It was a low-key, warm Monday hang: back injuries, a nostalgic skate event, a wife's birthday to plan, and a lot of food talk.
• chazzgold.eth [33:25] previewed a busy six days at NFT NYC (two billboard shows, galleries) and his Builder Bots AI mint dropping mid-week — 333 3D interactive NFTs, each with its own agent, stored permanently on Arweave.
• A long, affectionate food tangent (McDonald's Hello Kitty toys, the McRib, Wiener Schnitzel corn dogs) carried the middle of the show.
• The two-year Regens anniversary is ~4 weeks out; CEELOS renewed his two-year campaign to finally meet Mechsicko IRL on the West Coast.
• toomazingTM's catchphrase "anything is possible" got its flowers, and May June closed by asking everyone to blame anything dumb she says this week on Monday.

Highlights

[6:08] Solo host, tone set. With no co-host and only "recorded listeners," CEELOS opened anyway — tired from a busy weekend, shouting out Wolf's 100th space, and leaning on the truth that he can, in fact, talk.

[7:33] Skating where he wasn't allowed to. CEELOS recapped a Nike-sponsored skate event at the old spot he grew up (illegally) skating as a kid, reuniting with pros he once admired. With his knee and back still not right, he rode around nervous, bailed on one trick attempt, and felt unexpectedly vulnerable about it.

[13:25] SLICK RIC's DIY romance. SLICK RIC offered CEELOS a birthday-gift idea — a cardboard heart collage of family photos — prompting CEELOS's deadpan defense of the culture: "See, Hispanic men can be romantic. How dare you?"

[24:50] Mechsicko arrives from the McDonald's drive-thru. Mac skipped the Happy Meal ("tired of getting the same damn Hello Kitty") and kicked off the food arc, including his confession to stockpiling three McRibs at a time with extra onions.

[29:09] The Great McRib Debate. CEELOS insisted a McRib is "a weird designed patty with a lot of barbecue sauce," while Mechsicko countered that the problem is CEELOS's outlook: "you gotta have a better attitude, bro." A "name six" challenge on local barbecue spots followed.

[33:44] chazzgold.eth on going independent. Chaz walked through his NYC plans and Builder Bots AI mint, then got genuinely into the tech he taught himself this weekend — Arweave permanent storage, 3D WebGL pieces you can spin on OpenSea, and an agent baked into each NFT — framing the grind as a reason he can now build more for himself and the community.

[48:07] "Up your butt." May June went sleuthing on Mac's profile to see if "Mexico" is from Mexico and instead found his listed location — "up your butt" — a bit that snowballed into Mac declaring it his answer to everything and CEELOS pretend-pitching a "Salvadorian mustache" trait rename.

[54:24] Corn dogs, diabolically. Speaker 8 (a self-described corn-dog professional) was scandalized that Mac visits Wiener Schnitzel specifically for corn dogs, kicking off a surprisingly detailed corn-dog appreciation, Korean varieties included.

[59:02] Flowers all around. toomazingTM ("the henny god himself") got credit for spreading "anything is possible," and May June signed off with a plea to blame anything stupid she says this week on Monday.

Who said what

• CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) — host; carried the full hour solo, threading his skate nostalgia, coffee work, injuries, and food opinions into a steady Monday check-in.
• SLICK RIC (@richj530) — shared gym/recovery routine after a nerve-burn back procedure and offered the cardboard-collage birthday-gift idea.
• Mechsicko (@mechsicko_eth) — the food chaos agent: McDonald's toy hoarding, McRib evangelism, Wiener Schnitzel corn dogs, and the "up your butt" bit; still holding out for the two-year Regens meetup.
• chazzgold.eth (@chazz_gold) — artist gearing up for NFT NYC; detailed his Builder Bots AI mint, Arweave storage, and 3D interactive/agent NFTs.
• May June (@MayJune20121) — kept the room laughing (the "Peter Griffin voice" observation, the profile sleuthing) and previewed her Fugs spaces.
• toomazingTM (@TooMazing265) — dropped in to send Wolf some love and got credited for the "anything is possible" catchphrase.
• Speaker 8 — unidentified corn-dog professional who both defended and celebrated the humble corn dog.

Worth a full listen

• [33:25]–[36:31] — chazzgold.eth's unfiltered walk-through of teaching himself Arweave permanent storage and 3D WebGL NFTs with embedded agents; the best "artist becomes reluctant builder" stretch of the show.
• [24:50]–[31:05] — the full food arc, from Hello Kitty Godzilla toys through the McRib debate to orange farm-egg yolks; the room's easy banter is the whole point.
• [48:07]–[55:24] — the "up your butt" / Salvadorian-mustache / corn-dog run, where the regulars' inside jokes are doing all the work.
