Re:Building Together EP 279 — Garbage Pail NFTs

Host: CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) with cohost Baked (@Bakedmetax) · Sat, Aug 1 2026 · ~1:03 · 4 active voices (plus a stretch of 50 Cent playing over the mic)

TL;DR

• The night's "Creation Corner" bit: CEELOS ran a three-part AI prompt (posted in the purple pill) that turns any NFT into a realistic-looking Garbage Pail Kids card — Baked's PFP became "glitchy Gary," and various regens/apes got renamed on the fly.
• Baked cohosted from a rooftop in 103° heat, mostly waiting for a unit to kick on so he could get off the roof; his phone eventually overheated.
• A long, genuinely useful walkthrough of Uncle Mac's Ape Chain ecosystem — bridging mine boys into pit boys on stonkpit.xyz to mine the "derp" coin — sparked by zGhostin asking what to do with the mine boys he'd bought.
• Extended Otherside chat with zGhostin: the one-year-anniversary in-world store (letterman jackets, backpacks), otherdeed sizing (stars/resources), and the recurring "every community should have a plot in there" idea.
• Shared gripe about no-reveal rugs and OpenSea's lax vetting, plus a wish that platforms would hold mint funds until reveal.
• Solo dolo arrived just in time to deliver the outro after admitting he'd been waiting since 11:30 and got salty about it.

Highlights

[8:00] The premise. CEELOS opens episode 279 solo-ish ("shout out to me and Bakes, because we're here"), explaining the copy-paste-copy-paste prompt that renders your NFT as a Garbage Pail Kid — held by a random hand or sitting on a table for that "it's a real card" realism. Baked's invisible-man PFP with multicolored visors came out as "glitchy Gary."

[11:38] Cohosting from the roof. Baked checks in from a job that ballooned from an hour into a day of fixing his boss's mess-ups, in 103° heat, "hot and exhausted, ready to be off this roof."

[14:37] The case for the bot. Baked's dry answer to CEELOS forgetting to mine all day: "This is why I set up the bot to run for me."

[16:44] A web3 funk, honestly told. CEELOS talks through a bored pocket in web3 and lands on the episode's quiet thesis — the space isn't there to entertain him; it's on him to find the fun in it. (Detour into his mom's long-running campaign against his beard included.)

[17:04] Wallet hygiene. A clinic on spotting scam airdrops — mystery "stonk traders" and "stonk punks" showing up with suspiciously high offers — and calmly sliding the junk into the hidden wallet. "Not your boy, not your boy."

[26:19] Sticky Spencer. CEELOS renders a Garbage Pail card from zGhostin's NFTs and reads out the AI-assigned name: "Oh gross. His name is Sticky Spencer, bro. That's actually perfect." He floats turning the cards into real stickers.

[35:08] The derp explainer. zGhostin comes up unsure what to do with his mine boys, and CEELOS walks him step by step through Uncle Mac's stonkpit.xyz — bridging mine boys to pit boys (108 apiece), clocking them in to mine derp, and the randomized payouts (44 derp on the low end, ~1,200 on a lucky hit). Turns into a heartfelt appreciation of a builder who "doesn't get the proper spotlight because of where he's hanging out."

[46:40] The Otherside store. zGhostin describes the one-year-anniversary in-world market by the Nexus spawn — limited-edition backpacks and letterman jackets you buy with Ape via your glyph wallet — which sends the two into riffing on custom print shops, coffee roasteries, and community plots inside the Otherside.

[55:52] No-reveal rugs. The pair agree the worst outcome isn't even the rug — it's being left with a static placeholder and no IP to play with. zGhostin suggests platforms hold mint funds until reveal to scare off bad actors; "give me a damn image."

[57:34] Sixty-three dollars of dirt. Baked reports back his derp balance — ~63,000 — prompting CEELOS's "go buy some dirt, fool" so he'd have 100K, and Baked's deadpan "so it's sixty-three dollars worth of dirt."

[1:01:29] The wind-down. Baked closes out, thanking zGhostin for holding it down while he and Bake were both at work (and while his phone overheated). Solo dolo lands the trademark outro: get your ass to the gym, anything is possible.

Who said what

• CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG)^* — host and engine of the room: ran the Garbage Pail generator, narrated wallet cleanup and pixel-trip evolves, and gave the full derp/Ape Chain onboarding to zGhostin.
• Baked (@Bakedmetax)^* — cohost phoning in from a rooftop job in extreme heat; champion of the mining bot, source of the "63,000 derp = $63" gag, and the one who closed the show.
• zGhostin (@zGhostin)^* — brought the middle third to life, asking how to use his mine boys and driving the Otherside/otherdeed discussion with real detail on store items and land stars/resources.
• Solo dolo (@solodolo)^* — arrived late (and salty about it) to deliver the signature gym-and-grind outro.

Worth a full listen

• [35:08]–[42:44] — The mine boys → pit boys → derp walkthrough is the most practically useful stretch: exact site, bridging cost, how clocking in/out works, and why Ape Chain builders like Uncle Mac fly under the radar. Hard to compress without losing the how-to.
• [46:40]–[55:00] — The Otherside/otherdeed segment covers the anniversary store, land sizing and resources, community plots, and the safety logic of glyph wallets — a good primer if you've been ignoring that ecosystem.
• [15:04]–[17:04] — CEELOS thinking out loud about a web3 funk (and his beard) is the episode's honest heart, and lands on the line the whole night orbits.
