🍋‍🟩💦 Teaquila Time: Pouring one out with @SHGfees

Host: Mexi❤️‍🔥 (@_queenmexi) · Guest: Superhighgasfees (@SHGFees) · Wed, 15 Jul 2026 · ~1:57:40 · 5 speakers

TL;DR

• A long-form, interview-style "Tequila Time" with Super High Gas Fees, co-founder of the heart-themed NFT project LT3 (Less Than Three), covering the origin of the project, finding his voice, conviction, and building an IP that reaches beyond web3.
• Super High unpacked the LT3 thesis: NFTs as the "core layer" of a brand, with web2 arms (TikTok, Instagram, ~1,000 physical heart pillows sold) as the outer layer that builds trust and substance.
• His hardest-earned lesson: take people's words with a grain of salt and don't get so emotionally attached to a project that a rug or royalty cut destroys your "home."
• Mexi (host)^* shared her own story of being rugged after going all-in on a community, plus a warm anecdote about trader Sam Price recognizing her work.
• Burby dropped in with a 3D-printing idea for LT3 holders — and then hijacked the room to ask whether Super High ever called the girl from his recurring dream. He did not, and does not plan to.
• TouchGrass (@XTouchGrass)^* closed things out giving flowers, noting his project holds an LT3 (the lucky-trait orange one) in its treasury.

Highlights

[17:16] The name is a pun, and it goes over everyone's head. Super High explained that "Less Than Three" is the <3 heart emoticon spelled out — a name they landed on after a week of "comically bad" alternatives. He walked through the LT3 thesis: web3 NFTs as the sticky, meaningful "center of the universe," with the rest of the brand radiating outward.

[25:27] Finding his voice. Asked what clicked, Super High traced his growth from someone who just posted a lot to a daily host, crediting Jed and Liz's spaces for making him feel comfortable, and Sear for coaching him on the difference between building an audience and building a community.

[34:00–38:25] Protecting conviction. He described sitting through an hour-long bearish NFT takedown without folding, explaining that he considers other people's takes without conforming to them — "take the meat and leave the bones."

[42:12] Why LT3 needs to live beyond web3. Super High made the case that almost any brand benefits from a web2 arm, and shared real numbers — roughly 1,000 pillows sold, maybe 700 to non-web3 buyers — as proof of "substance" that helped fund new ideas and set LT3 apart from projects that are "just a community."

[56:07] The lesson he'd give day-one himself. Don't get too emotionally attached to any one project. He pointed to Blur, cut royalties, and founders who "faded out when the money faded out," noting the deeper hit isn't the floor price but losing a place that felt like home.

[1:01:15] Mexi's own rug story. She reflected on finally understanding why people shill a project for free — it was never the art, it was the people and the sense of home — and on being burned after going all-in, landing on the idea that supporting the right people goes further than any dollar.

[1:17:10] "Every heart has a story." Asked for a chapter of his own, Super High got quiet and then opened up about quitting skating for crypto — and the weight of friends who followed him into that pivot. "I don't want them to ever feel like they made the wrong choice by following me" became the fuel behind doing whatever it takes for the project.

[1:27:00] Burby's two questions. After a genuinely useful pitch to let LT3 holders 3D-print their own hearts, Burby pivoted hard: "Did you ever call the girl that you had the dream about? Like we all want to know." Super High's deadpan "Bro needs to chill… I didn't call her and I'm probably not gonna" set off a running bit for the rest of the show.

[1:35:08] "It's never happening type vibes." Even after Mexi offered a shot of courage at the upcoming after-hours space and Burby volunteered as wingman, Super High held firm: he's not hitting her up. The matchmaker in Mexi could not let it go.

[1:51:10] TouchGrass gives flowers. He came up to say LT3 was one of the first NFTs he built a real passion for, that Touch Grass holds one in its treasury, and to compliment Mexi's personal interview style — a warm, low-key close.

"I don't want them to ever feel like they made the wrong choice by following me." — Super High, on the friends who left skating for crypto with him [1:19:13]

Who said what

• Mexi (host — @_queenmexi)^*: Ran the interview, opened with a music set, drew out Super High's story, and shared her own experiences with being rugged, storytelling, and her ambitions to interview people beyond web3.
• Super High Gas Fees (@SHGFees): The guest and co-founder of LT3; candid throughout on the project's thesis, his personal growth, conviction, emotional detachment as self-protection, and the skating pivot that shaped his leadership — reluctantly good-humored about the dream-girl saga.
• Burby: Dropped in near the end with a practical 3D-printing idea for holders and the comic gut-punch question that gave the back half of the show its running bit.
• TouchGrass (@XTouchGrass)^*: A founder and LT3 holder who came up to give flowers, mentioning Touch Grass holds an LT3 in its treasury and praising Mexi's personal interview style.

Worth a full listen

• [1:16:00]–[1:23:00] — The "every heart has a story" answer. Super High visibly wrestled with the question before opening up about the skating-to-crypto pivot and the responsibility he feels toward the friends who followed him. The pauses and the honesty don't compress well.
• [1:24:28]–[1:35:24] — Burby's entrance. It starts as a genuinely thoughtful IP suggestion and detours into the dream-girl interrogation, with Mexi (a self-declared matchmaker) piling on. The comedy lives in the timing.
• [1:43:00]–[1:50:00] — The mutual-appreciation stretch, where Super High credits Mexi's prep and Mexi lays out her philosophy of humanizing guests (including her Netflix Famous Last Words tangent). A window into why this show format works.
