Sug it, Fug it, Rug it: Degen Edition
Host: May June (@MayJune20121), running the @FugzOfficial account Β· Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 Β· Duration: 1:12:48 Β· ~10 speakers
TL;DR
- A deliberately low-stakes community game space: "Sug it, Fug it, Rug it" β a degen twist on Kiss/Marry/Kill (Yot's British version: "Snog Marry Avoid"), hosted by May from an airport with a crying baby soundtrack.
- Rounds covered why degens buy in, minting habits, community personalities, $500 buying strategy, and hold-vs-flip philosophy β most answers landing on "sug the art, fug the community, rug the upside."
- Two genuine takeaways surfaced through the jokes: conference tickets are wildly overpriced (side events, dinners, and just showing up beat a $500β$700 badge), and long-term holding tracks to how connected you feel to a founder/team.
- Announcement: Fugs Collector Hub launches this week β NFTs, badges, SBTs, and collector cards in one place with ranks, open to anyone with a wallet (holder or not), built with "no AI used, just pure people effort." A partner product (Fugs' first non-merch product) is teased for next month.
- Scheduling housekeeping: Fuggets spaces are Thursdays 1pm; Lyss and Yot agreed to a hard stop by 1:05 so their spaces stop clashing.
Highlights
[6:04] Naming the game. May tees up the concept and Yot supplies the "English" translation β "Snok Mary avoid" β establishing sug = kiss, fug = marry, rug = kill, and setting the deadpan tone for the hour.
[11:48] "Sug the art, fug the community, rug the upside." Super opens the first real round, noting the potential upside matters less the longer you're around; Sho and Maha both co-sign, with Sho insisting she does not want to rug the community β she wants to fug it. May's running gag that the Fuggers have "turned Sho into a sinner" gets the reply that it was "always there."
[18:31] Super makes breakfast. Asked to sug/fug/rug the panel, Yot paints Super as the romantic who "wouldn't fug" β "I'd be just opening my eyes and there's super high next to me with a tray, bacon and eggs," complete with coffee in an LT3 mug, served before you even ask. One of the biggest laughs of the space.
[20:47] Minting locations. The round on minting during work / at a wedding / at the airport produces Chicken Wizard's genuinely practical case for rugging the airport (public Wi-Fi security + flaky connection killing your transaction), plus a chat shout-out to "SB," who reportedly mints on the toilet "for concentration."
[25:39] Bowl cut discourse. Mullet, invited as the room's meme lord, refuses to accept the premise: "What is a bull cut? That's like a team moo⦠you couldn't even afford to get the whole thing." His confusion about the game's American origins spirals into a recurring bit that a mullet is nothing like a bowl cut.
[30:26] The follow-back / take-out-the-trash tangent. Margie B and Lyss compare notes on people who unfollow you for not following back fast enough, and Maha nails the psychology: "Makes me feel like when my wife's like, hey, you gotta take out the trash, but I was already gonna take out the trash. So now I don't feel like doing it." Sho's advice to Maha to just listen to his wife lands hard.
[37:17] Conference economics. The event-ticket round turns substantive. Maha reveals NFT Paris wanted "$30,000 to be able to speak for 30 minutes" β "a thousand dollars a minute" β and both he and Lyss argue that free side events and dinners deliver the same vibe as a $500β$700 badge. Lyss's point that showing up consistently can "supersede what you hold" (she goes to ape events without owning an ape) is one of the space's better real notes.
[38:23] "Drunk on love." The Paris thread detours into whether Super caused NFT Paris to shut down by being drunk; asked what he was drinking, Yot answers for him: "Drunk on love."
[55:51] Yot, the honest diamond hand. On the hold-vs-flip round, the founder cops to being "notoriously bad at taking any form of profit whatsoever" β NFTs held for years that round-tripped hundreds of thousands to near-nothing, still in his wallet. "I'm just rugging myself, really."
[1:09:51] Collector Hub reveal. Closing out, Yot announces the Fugs Collector Hub for this week β badges, SBTs, collector cards, ranks, open to any wallet β noting a roughly three-month build (paused for the MetaMask activation) done with "no AI used." A partner product, Fugs' first non-merch product, follows next month.

Who said what
- May June (host, @MayJune20121): Ran the game from an airport, pulled the rounds, kept the energy warm; repeatedly waved off her own "not the best space" apologies (the room wasn't having it).
- Yot (founder, @yotdog69): In Bangkok at 1am; supplied the game's origin name, most of the deadpan one-liners, the honest "I never take profit" confession, and the Collector Hub announcement.
- Sho (co-host, @AgogoKaren): Reluctant-but-game co-host, art defender, and reliable straight-woman to the sinning jokes; doesn't mint on her phone at all.
- Super (@SHGFees): The sentimental NFT "addict" β sugs the art, fugs grails, buys pieces that mean something to him; center of the NFT Paris stories.
- Maha (@Maaaaahhhaaaaa): Runs community dinners; made the strongest case against pricey tickets, dropped the trash-and-wife bit, and gave the space its mission statement before bouncing.
- Lyss (@Lysss302): Regen/space regular; argues presence and connection beat what you hold, offers free event tickets to the community, and holds pieces tied to founders she believes in.
- Chicken Wizard (@ChickenWizardX): Dad-with-a-daughter caveat; the practical voice on airport Wi-Fi minting risk.
- Mullet (@MulletGump): Meme lord who turned the haircut round into a running bowl-cut feud.
- Margie B (@B4Margie): Kicked off the follow/unfollow-etiquette tangent with her three-week policy.
Worth a full listen
- [18:00]β[19:10] β The "sug/fug/rug the panel" bit and Super's imagined breakfast service; pure ensemble riffing that a summary flattens.
- [37:00]β[41:26] β The event-ticket discussion is where the fun turns into actually useful advice: the $30k speaker fee, why side events and dinners win, and Lyss's take that showing up beats holding.
- [1:00:00]β[1:02:13] β Lyss on why she holds (and lists at 0.69) for communities she's connected to, capped by Maha's affectionate "nothingness at the same time" send-off.
