Fugettes 🎀 LT3 × FUGZ Newz — the sold-out pillow recap

Host: May June (@MayJune20121), speaking through @fugettes · Thu, 20 Aug 2026 · 1:54:51 · ~9 active speakers

TL;DR

• The Fugz × LT3 limited plush pillow collab dropped and sold out in under three hours — 165 units, capped on purpose to keep it collectible.
• Super High (LT3) was running on ~zero sleep, packaging orders with "volunteers" while still holding down the timeline and prepping his own 8pm space.
• The space turned into an unplanned "everything Fugz has done this year" recap: the Abstract→ETH migration, an incoming Unvault/omnichain move, the collector cards, the relaunched collector's hub, and the social/creative/VIF SBTs.
• Newcomers Jake and El Blanco came up to praise the collab as a sign the space is "healing"; El Blanco had made a fan video for the launch.
• Founder Yot dropped in from bed near the end to thank Regens for the surprise support space and confirm Slick as a fresh Fugger.
• Closed out with the community's custom AI song about Yot ("That's our leader"), and a lot of bathroom-break heckling.

Highlights

[9:33] A running start. May June opens "a quarter hour later," admitting she started the space from her phone mid-sprint through the house before joining from her computer — "whatever happens in the background is none of y'all's business" — then walks new listeners through what Fugettes is: a subcommunity built originally for the Fug girls that grew into a weekly hangout for anyone.

[21:48] The founder's day-after. Super High describes going from 6pm to 3am fixing the mint site, then lying awake too excited to sleep. Selling out wasn't the finish line: Jack's packaging orders, and they still have to properly randomize who gets the surprise NFTs and gifts tucked in the packages.

[24:59] "The space is healing." First-timer Jake gives the collab its biggest endorsement of the night — he doesn't even own a Fug yet (onboarded via the cards), bought a pillow anyway, and reads the drop as proof that interconnected, non-gated collabs are coming back. DaFameless immediately reassures him a cards holder is already a Fugger.

[32:17] Why 165. Super High explains the number: the earlier purple-pillow run with Grind was 200 units, a batch size they knew they could handle, so the Fugz run started at 200 — minus reserves for misplaced shipments and Al's allocation (bought at cost for giveaways), landing at 165.

[39:52] El Blanco's labor of love. A designer and self-described recovering "tribal guy," El Blanco bought pillows for his collector daughter and, rather than just liking the post, made a video celebrating the launch. Super High had already watched it — "it was pretty sick" — and May June used it as her thesis that supporting a project takes nothing but a little effort.

[45:55] Tim, the unserious ape. New Fugger Tim jumps up as a self-declared minimalist who bought zero pillows ("if I told my wife, she'd have bought the whole drop") and promises Super High a steak in NYC — "courtesy of Jed, not of me." It kicks off a long, warm bit about ape PFPs, catfishing, and Jed's line that "the person makes the PFP."

[52:12] What, exactly, is a Fug? Jake finally asks the question no one had answered. Cue a taxonomy debate — beaver? hamster? capybara? — before May June settles it: a fuzzy gopher, canonically a gopher, "it's just no one knows what the fug a gopher is." Jake, from Minnesota, is the first person on record to actually know what a gopher is.

[1:42:43] Yot, live from bed. The founder drops in "tucked up in bed" to greet everyone, notes they didn't quite crack the trending top three (blame the Bugs mint, an X shadow-ban story going viral, and Bored Apes' worldwide event announcement), but tallies a "shitload of posts" and a very good showing.

[1:44:55] Regens got a shout. Yot credits Regens for spinning up an unplanned support space that ran until the pillows sold out, calls the vibes "really awesome," and reveals he picked up three more Regens from Slick — who's now a Fugger too.

Worth a full listen

• [45:55]–[53:55] — The Tim/ape-PFP riff into the "what is a Fug" debate is the funniest stretch of the space and impossible to summarize without flattening the timing.
• [54:52]–[1:03:06] — DaFameless and May June give the clearest walkthrough of the Abstract→ETH move, Unvault plans, and how the collector cards were built out of Yot's genuine Pokémon-binder nostalgia.
• [1:42:43]–[1:49:29] — Yot's late arrival, the "cutting me off mid-monologue" bit, and B's brie/debris joke land the day on exactly the unserious note the community runs on.
