Re:Building Together EP 293 — Let's Play With Our JPEGs

Host: CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) with cohost Baked (@Bakedmetax) · Sat, 15 Aug 2026 · ~1h07m · 5 main speakers

TL;DR

• A loose, funny daily-community episode built around two AI prompts Bake cooked up: one that turns your NFT into a video-game character, one that turns it into a graded (PSA/TCG-style) trading card. Members ran them live on their PFPs all hour.
• Bake shared both prompts on the "buildatron" and explained the trick to naming your own card instead of letting the AI pick a random name [12:38].
• Big scheduling note: next Saturday is the 300th episode, 12–1pm PST [49:18].
• A real, useful sidebar: the room walked Slick Ric through the Anvil / Clutch Markets "card wall," landing on roughly $610 of ETH to swap for the wall token [24:11].
• The rest was affectionate crew banter — doxxing, degen coin confessions, Instagram jail, and a closing basketball challenge — over a backdrop of the reinvisioning Space that refused to end.

Highlights

[3:41] CEELOS opens from the road. Hosting between family errands, he kicks it off with a just-dropped track called "Degenerates" — "I think this song is appropriate." A couple minutes of loud rap lyrics later, Bake caps it with a mid-song burp for the record.

[7:30] The premise. CEELOS reframes the room: "Rebuilding Together, episode 293, let's play with our JPEGs… it's just me and the boy Bake. Shout out to a lot of non-listeners." Seven spaces out from 300.

[12:38] Bake's card-naming tip. For the graded-card prompt, Bake explains you can drop a line at the bottom — "name the card XYZ" — otherwise the AI slaps a random name on your PSA card. This becomes a running gag when CEELOS asks whether he literally has to type "XYZ" [13:38].

[20:04] Solo joins, and the crew clocks the irony. Solo waited over an hour in requests over at the reinvisioning Space and never got up; here he was up in 20 seconds. His deadpan theory on why they never brought him: "I don't think they trust what I'm gonna say" [20:17] — to which CEELOS admits he doesn't fully trust it either but brings him anyway.

[22:27] The doxxing. After CEELOS insists Solo is a "smart dumb guy" who only pretends to be dumb, a voice in the room — Solo's girlfriend — settles it: "I can actually vouch for Jesse, and he actually is dumb." CEELOS: "Shout out to Solo's girl for keeping it real" — she'd just outed his real name in the process.

[24:11] Working the card wall. Slick Ric, hustling from the fair, asks for help reading the Anvil / Clutch Markets wall. The room does the math out loud — you need ~557,500 wall, about 0.31–0.32 ETH, roughly $610 — while cheerfully admitting nobody's fully sure what the token unlocks yet [30:00].

[31:40] Degen coin confessional. CEELOS recounts a guy in CK's channel who aped a coin for "290 bucks" and watched it hit zero in five minutes — Slick, deadpan: "that was me… it was thirty dollars." CEELOS' summary of the whole scene: "It don't make no sense to anybody else, but it makes sense to us" [31:58].

[35:40] The Gemini bit. CEELOS makes a card for Wolf without typing a name — and the tool spits out "Wolf 7." Cue the mock-paranoia: "You're listening, aren't you, Gemini? God damn Gemini," followed by his half-serious belief that saying things out loud gets them served back to him in his feed.

[43:24] Instagram detention. CEELOS reveals he did three days in IG jail for a Walter White post: "it's Walter White, it's breaking bad, bro. That's not real… that's blue candy." He appealed, got denied, and spent the ban texting people screenshots of posts instead.

[49:18 / 53:02] The 300th, and a mission statement. He locks in the 300th episode details, then delivers the episode's thesis on people bailing when a project cools off: "I'll bet on builders 100% of the time," and "people need to mint some patience."

[1:00:32] Dented Club and the IP philosophy. In a nostalgic run about vanished projects, CEELOS lays out his stance on reusing art from projects that ghosted: it's his IP now, and if a founder objects, "he can come out and call me out… where you been at, fool. I've been here daily."

Who said what

• CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) — Host, running the whole hour from the car between Starbucks runs; made edits live, MC'd the banter, and delivered the "bet on builders / mint patience" gospel.
• Bake (@Bakedmetax) — Cohost; author of the two prompts driving the episode, and resident explainer of how to force styles and name your card.
• Slick Ric (@richj530) — Joined from the fair between jobs; anchored the practical Anvil/Clutch card-wall walkthrough and supplied the marriage and degen-coin one-liners.
• Solo dolo / Jesse (@solodolo) — Teacher, two years sober, pushing a brewery meetup and (relentlessly) the movie The Odyssey; got his name and dumbness confirmed by his own girlfriend.
• toomazingTM (@TooMazing265) — Turned up after literally napping through the marathon reinvisioning Space; talked cash dogs, clubs, and issued the closing basketball challenge.

Worth a full listen

• [20:04]–[23:00] — Solo's entrance and the girlfriend doxx; the timing and delivery don't survive summarizing.
• [43:00]–[44:00] — The full Instagram-detention rant, appeal and all, is better in CEELOS' own exasperated telling.
• [1:00:32]–[1:05:00] — The Dented Club IP monologue rolling straight into the six-foot-one-vs-five-foot-five basketball trash talk is peak crew energy.
