Fugz Space TAKEOVER by Fugettes ππ
Host: May June (@MayJune20121)* on the Fugettes account Β· Mon 31 Aug 2026 Β· 1:12:00 Β· ~5 speakers + music
TL;DR
- With everyone away at NFT NYC and the Fugs official Monday space on pause, the Fugettes crew held down the fort with a deliberately unofficial, no-filters hang. [8:59]
- May June revived the "Fugs Takeover" bit β everyone quote-tweeting a Fug GIF in a chain to take over the timeline. [15:42]
- A genuinely useful IRL-events segment: start small with community dinners (the "good company" dinner club tied to Maha/Frankie the Fug), then share Airbnbs and split Ubers to cut costs. [25:00]
- A long, chaotic "who's most likely toβ¦" game landed on Clasico (get hammered), Pixel (leak, for the right price), Kenny (click a fishy link), and yacht (publicly hate people). [36:11]
- May June announced she's making personalized songs for attendees, released under the Fuggettes artist on Spotify. [55:11]
- Closed with a favorite one-of-one round and the customary "yacht gay" outro anthem. [1:01:31]
Highlights
[8:59] The takeover opens. May June flips the room "from spectrum to focus mode" β fitting for Fug β and explains there's no official Fugs space today: just the team, the gang, and open discussion. Clasico's mic opened with what sounded like a honking taxi, which set the tone.
[13:11] Kadarn arrives cozy. Greeting the room, Kadarn declared "Brad is a fucking golfer" (repeatedly, for emphasis) and described feeling so at home he could "hug the sofa" like sleeping on a very silky couch β his signature register of naming everyone in the room three times over.
[19:06] NFT NYC and the quiet timeline. Clasico noted how much is happening in the space this week, and May June pointed out the obvious: everyone actually listening here is not at NFT NYC. Kadarn's counter [20:03] became the comic beat β nobody at NYC is coming to a Space when there's "a lot of fun cash up there," the Yankee game, and IRL events you're scared to miss.
[25:00] How to start doing IRL, gently. Kadarn's most substantive stretch: you don't have to jump into the big parties. Frankie the Fug's "good company" dinner club (recent Boston edition, plus Texas, San Diego) is an easy on-ramp β good food gets people talking, and you build connections online first, then small dinners, then "should we just fly up to NYC" so you're not the frog in the well.
[29:20] May June's travel tips. Communities skip the $500 convention tickets and live on the side events. Her practical advice: share an Airbnb with trustworthy community people, stay near where the events cluster, and split Ubers four or five deep β cheaper and more community-focused.
[33:47] Pixel's sushi trauma. Asked who'd eat the most sushi, Pixel revealed he used to love it until one bad piece cost him two weeks of fever and eight kilos β "never again I touched a single raw fish." The team then imagined yacht as strictly a mash-and-peas, chicken-pot-pie man who'd refuse sushi on sight.
[38:42] "I love people." In the "who secretly hates someone" round, Pixel confessed he's constitutionally incapable of it β his wife can't understand how he forgives friends who've wronged him. The room instead landed on yacht, who doesn't secretly hate anyone; he just does it publicly, in the name of love.
[45:07] Pixel, the open tap. On who'd leak a launch: "If you guys give me enough money, I'll leak it all." Earlier, May June owned up that she learned about the LT3 pillows through Al before release β with the group insisting that when the founder yacht "leaks," it's on purpose and therefore just alpha.
[55:11] Songs for the room. May June got distracted by the word "music" ("musics") and pivoted to her plan: personalized songs for everyone who showed up, released under the Fuggettes artist on Spotify. MX suggested anyone who doesn't reply to the DM gets called gay in the hook β accepted as a great idea.
[1:01:31] Favorite one-of-one. A round-robin: Clasico and MX split between the anime Fug and old man Jenkins the elder Fug (who "has so much personality⦠smoke his pipe"), Pixel championed the pickle one plus Fug #11 (which yacht tried and failed to buy for him), and Kadarn went with the elder Fug.

Who said what
- May June (host)* β Ran the whole show from the Fugettes account: opened the takeover, revived the timeline chain, dispensed IRL travel tips, drove the "who's most likely" game, and announced the attendee songs. [8:59]
- Clasico β Co-host, self-appointed "would-not-deny-a-free-drink" candidate; grounded the IRL and going-broke talk with esports-convention experience and Midwest deadpan. [10:10]
- Kadarn β The room's warm connector: pitched the good-company dinner clubs as an on-ramp to IRL, and kept nominating "Chimpy" as crypto's most relentless minter. [25:00]
- Pixel β Team artist/dev behind the "Minecraft-looking" teaser (low-res on purpose, per yacht); provided the sushi trauma, the leak-for-money line, and the pickle-Fug loyalty. [33:47]
- MX / DeFam β Team member with the community memory: sourced the "Toxic Check" nickname, the fishy-link history, and the "called gay in the hook" rule. [40:18]
Worth a full listen
- [25:00]β[31:18] β The IRL-events stretch is the space's most genuinely useful run: Kadarn's dinner-club philosophy flowing into May June's concrete cost-splitting tips, better heard than summarized.
- [38:42]β[45:07] β The "who secretly hates someone / who would leak" chain, where the banter about yacht's public bluntness and Pixel's open-tap honesty builds naturally beat to beat.
- [1:06:04]β[1:12:00] β The wrap and the full "yacht" anthem, for the tone of the whole thing: community-first, low-stakes, "nothing is that serious."
