Fugettes 💖✨ Fugz Talkz 🎙️ Mid-Summer BBQ 🍗

Host: May June (@MayJune20121, hosting the @fugettes Space)^* · Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2026 · Duration: 2:08:03 · Speakers: 4 main voices

TL;DR

• A deliberately low-key "imagine we're all at a barbecue" hang — May hosted from her bedroom floor with a dying phone while the room traded barbecue staples, meat stories, and X gripes.
• With founder Yacht away in Bangkok, Wenz cheerfully appointed himself "uninvited co-founder for the next two weeks" and rubber-stamped a fan idea: a booty-shake leaderboard in the Fugs Discord.
• The real substance came late: a walkthrough of a community member (BrainPasta) losing 1.8 ETH to a fake Kitaro Discord link, and how the funds were recovered.
• May announced the next Fugs Space (Monday, 1pm) on rugs/security with NFT Drew, founder of Boring Security.
• Wenz plugged Boring Security's free courses and revealed he built a Telegram bot that surfaces only Fugs GIFs to work around X's broken GIF search.
• The Fugs collector hub is confirmed coming "pretty soon"; testers signed an NDA, which Wenz politely declined on security grounds.

Highlights

[4:13] Setting the vibe. May opens by cutting off a Spanish song ("whether it's clear or not, I wanted to vibe to a Spanish song"), welcomes Mullet, and paints the barbecue scene — everyone poolside smelling of coconut sunscreen — while she's flat on her bedroom floor babysitting a nearly-dead battery.

[7:22] The great burger schism. May confesses she doesn't like burgers, prompting Mullet's mock outrage and a run through the calendar of missed food holidays. Verdict: she's a chicken person who slept through National Hot Dog Day.

[24:44] Recap Spaces makes the room self-aware. Talk turns to Dan's AI account that recaps Spaces people missed. May, who'd deleted last week's Space out of embarrassment, notes it'd be funny if this Space got recapped mid-tangent about "Angel in the basement" — a running gag about her partner being caged that never quite dies all episode.

[31:10] MX joins with the best recipe of the day. MX, a vegetarian, offers a barbecue staple that draws an audible jaw-drop: feta wrapped in foil with olive oil, onion, garlic, paprika and tomato, baked soft. May promised to try it that week.

[47:08]–[49:56] Booty-shake leaderboard, approved. With Yacht away, Wenz declared himself co-founder and May floated Rags's idea of a Discord leaderboard ranking who hits the !BS booty-shake command most. Wenz "approved the motion," reasoning it's on-brand: "it is what fugs represent, a little bit of chaos."

[1:02:44] Collector hub and the NDA. MX admitted he'd half-suspected the "Fugs bugs" tester program was Yacht manufacturing bullishness from a core group — then said the hub genuinely made him bullish. May confirmed it's coming (a bit behind schedule) and that testers signed NDAs. Wenz declined to sign, not out of distrust of Yacht but of technology: "you really don't know some crazies that's gonna go after you or your family."

[1:07:10]–[1:12:52] The drain incident. The heart of the Space. MX recounted how BrainPasta, a friend of Robbie's, joined a call to watch football, then routed himself to the Kitaro collection page and clicked an old, hijacked Discord link still living on the OpenSea page — losing 1.8 ETH of savings. MX got in direct contact with OpenSea's "asterism" to remove the link, community sleuths (Chuck first) traced it to a phishing wallet, and the funds were ultimately recovered via Pocket Universe. Both Wenz and MX stressed empathy over "you should've been careful."

[1:19:00]–[1:24:00] Security follow-through. Wenz recommended Boring Security's free monthly courses (SBT on completion, Ledger discounts), clarified that NFT Drew — not Bo — founded Boring, and May confirmed Drew as speaker for Monday's rug/security-themed Space, possibly alongside a "rug survivor."

[1:35:00]–[1:39:00] X gripes, weaponized. The room's obligatory X-hate segment: shadowbans (May's account shows "following zero" and hidden replies), broken GIF search since Tenor changed its API, and Wenz's homemade Telegram bot that returns only Fugs GIFs without needing to type "fugs."

Notable quotes

• [5:03] Mullet: "My teacher always told me like one day you're gonna wish you paid attention to my class. I'm like, I live in America. Why do I need to learn Spanish? And now I'm like, fuck, I wish I'd do Spanish."

• [1:16:25] MX: "We shouldn't give them a harder time saying, yeah, but you should be more careful. Just pay some respect and be like, oh yeah, fuck that sucks… it happens to the best people."

Who said what

• May June (host @MayJune20121)^*: Ran the show from the floor; Portuguese-Canadian with family ties to Cuba, prepping a two-week Egypt trip. Kept the Angel-in-the-basement bit alive, teed up the Monday security Space, and was candid about the internal work of hitting "start Space" without a fixed schedule.
• Mullet (@MulletGump)^*: De facto co-host energy — chickens, a trail rattlesnake, unrepentant burger loyalty, and the recurring life advice "just fucking do it."
• MX the Kat (@MX_the_Kat)^*: Vegetarian recipe hero and Kitaro team member; drove the drain post-mortem and coordinated with OpenSea to pull the malicious link.
• LittleWenZ (@LittleWenZ)^*: Taiwan-based; self-appointed two-week co-founder, security evangelist (Boring Security courses, declined the tester NDA), and builder of the Fugs-only GIF Telegram bot.

Worth a full listen

• [1:07:10]–[1:18:18] — The BrainPasta drain story is the one stretch a summary can't fully carry: the sequence of the hijacked OpenSea-linked Discord, the community sleuthing, the OpenSea contact, the Pocket Universe recovery, and a genuinely thoughtful exchange on FOMO and empathy toward victims.
• [1:19:00]–[1:24:00] — Practical security takeaways: Boring Security's free courses, SBTs and Ledger discounts, and the setup for Monday's rug/security Space with NFT Drew.
• [31:10]–[52:38] — For the vibe: the barbecue-staples round-robin, MX's feta recipe, and the snake/horse/buffalo meat tangent that best captures the room's easy humor.
