Re:Building Together EP 262 — Summer Adventures

Host: CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG), with co-host Baked (@Bakedmetax) · Wed, 15 Jul 2026 · 1:00:51 · ~5 active voices

TL;DR

• A loose, warm hangout episode built around the theme of "summer adventures" — mostly the low-budget, feral kind everyone got into as kids.
• CEELOS (roasting coffee in a sweltering warehouse) hosts while Baked quietly scalps meme coins in the background and solo dolo, Slick Ric, and Sam swap childhood stories.
• Running thread: nobody in the room grew up with money — no theme-park vacations, lots of dry ramen and refill-the-same-cup meals.
• Second running thread: the meme-coin/Robin Hood revival and whether it's worth jumping back in. General verdict: fun early, gets burned out, and the bots always win.
• CEELOS previews a family Disneyland trip Monday and mourns the prices; a soccer bet on England vs. Argentina closes things out.
• Housekeeping decision: CEELOS will make a new edit using his "fug" PFP as-is (2–0 vote).

Highlights

[1:58] Don't name the coin on a recorded Space. Baked's opening bit set the tone — he'd help you find a two-to-three-X, but "don't say it on a recorded space. Then we're gonna get blamed because people don't know how to sell." CEELOS admitted he's "the king of not knowing when to sell," back in his old scrape-a-little-here casino mentality.

[7:18] The room officially opens. CEELOS welcomes everyone to Episode 262, sets the theme — "summer adventures, or at least things that we used to get into during the summer that we consider adventures" — and checks in with the co-hosts.

[8:37] Hottest day of the summer. Everyone's cooking: solo dolo went running and it was already brutal, and CEELOS is broadcasting from a coffee-roasting warehouse where the machines hit 480°F, so a cold shower barely helped.

[11:10] Region prices and the recap curse. A recurring gag — CEELOS believes the Kobe region he wanted got marked up because it was mentioned on a previous Space recap, so he's careful not to name the one he's still eyeing.

[14:00 area] The LAUSD track system. CEELOS explains the color-coded A/B/C track schedule of his childhood — A-track got summers off, B and C didn't — and the joy of being one of four friends on vacation while the fifth sweated it out at school.

[20:21] Stunts and fire-escape leaps. Pre-skateboarding summers meant "stunts" (a tame Jackass), hide-and-seek in the Bonaventure Hotel, and jumping fire escapes onto rooftops — CEELOS stuck to the first floor while his friend Julio, RIP, went for the fourth and fifth.

[26:00 area] Broke-kid cuisine. The nostalgia peak: dry Cup Noodles crunched straight from the styrofoam, one 99-cent Whopper, and Wendy's when it still had a salad bar with red jello and sliced bananas — one refillable soda passed around a whole crew of skaters near USC.

[31:22] Slick Ric on quitting the leverage grind. Slick Ric (a former DJ up in NorCal) described a year of daily leverage trading that burned him out — "I'm so glad I don't do that anymore" — while eyeing the Robin Hood/cash-cat meme revival from the sidelines, same as CEELOS with NFTs.

[46:21] The Star Wars section they didn't know existed. CEELOS recounts nearly leaving Disneyland last year, taking one final lap, and stumbling into the whole Galaxy's Edge area — Millennium Falcon, a projection show, and the build-your-own-droid shop. solo dolo confirmed he'd built an R2-D2 there (an "Arturito," ~$200), and Baked declared it the one reason he'd go to Disney.

[56:09] Closing soccer picks. solo dolo calls 2-1 Argentina, Baked co-signs Argentina, and CEELOS goes contrarian with 2-1 England, taking a shot at Argentina's "cheat mass team" on the record.

Who said what

• CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG) — Host; roasting coffee in the heat, steering the summer-nostalgia theme, an NFT guy who watches the meme-coin action but rarely plays, prepping for a family Disneyland day.
• Baked (@Bakedmetax) — Co-host in Florida on the Gulf; scalping meme coins live for lunch money, the resident anti-MPC-wallet holdout, and dry-ramen-as-chips enthusiast.
• solo dolo (@solodolo) — Teacher out in Whittier; grew up low income too, built an R2-D2 at Disney, and offered the soccer pick (2-1 Argentina).
• Slick Ric (@richj530)^* — Former DJ up in NorCal; recovering leverage trader, colorful stories about his East Indian neighbors' week-long weddings, now watching meme coins from the sidelines.
• Sam (@pressedcurl)^* — Brief drop-in; the outlier who went to Catholic private summer school rather than free/summer school.

Worth a full listen

• [20:21]–[31:22] — The heart of the episode: fire-escape stunts, USC skate spots, and the whole economy of the 99-cent Whopper and the refillable Wendy's cup. The details land better in the speakers' own telling.
• [31:22]–[38:00] — Slick Ric and CEELOS trading war stories on leverage trading and the Robin Hood/meme revival — a genuine, unhyped read on jumping back into the casino (NFA and all).
• [46:21]–[48:13] — The Star Wars/Galaxy's Edge discovery and droid-building tangent, with Baked deciding on the spot this is the reason to finally go to Disney.
