Re:Building Together EP 300 — Creation Corner / Let's Celebrate

Host: CEELOS (@CEELOSFIGG), with co-hosts Baked (@Bakedmetax) and ValerieKates (@valeriekates_) · Date: Sat, 22 Aug 2026 · Duration: 1:49:06 · ~15 active speakers

TL;DR

• The Regen crew celebrated 300 consecutive daily Spaces, with the usual Creation Corner prompt (Baked built one that pulls randomly from past prompts and stamps in an episode-300 celebration).
• Less a workshop than a family reunion: a long parade of speakers pulled up to give the hosts their flowers and share how they found the Regens.
• CeeLo, Baked, and Val each told their origin stories — how a ~$1–$2 mint on a low-sentiment day turned into the friendships and community that keep them showing up daily.
• Founders Jed and Mechsicko appeared: Mec (who made the original art on his phone) and Jed reminisced about the botted free mint and teased plans to eventually pay the whole team.
• Lyss delivered several rallying speeches on what daily-space commitment actually costs and laid out ground rules for the exclusive Stefano's whale dinner tied to NFT NYC.
• Plenty of running bits: Oprah money, West Coast "getaway sticks," El Salvadoran folk cures, Mec's love of possums, and the mystery of Plattsburgh.

Highlights

[6:33] Baked explains the anniversary prompt. Baked describes cramming a bunch of past Saturday prompts into one that randomly recreates an old favorite with an episode-300 celebration baked in — a nostalgia tour disguised as an AI prompt.

[12:21] Lyss threatens to give away money like Oprah. In a hype speech to fill the room, Lyss offers to raid toomazing's wallet and start handing out cash. It sets up the room's favorite running joke of the day.

[14:06] Tim, still waiting on his Oprah money. Tim pulls up to note he's been aura-farming on stages for a while now and Lyss still hasn't paid out. He also shares that Slick turned down a trade-up of Regens for a Bored Ape and a Mutant — "that's conviction."

[16:41] Slick's getaway sticks. Tim marvels that Slick can hold a conversation while walking at 100% incline; CeeLo, riffing on Slick's Johnny-Bravo build and "chicken legs," gets a swift correction — put some respect on the getaway sticks.

[19:05] The alpha nobody asked for. A migraine check-in with Wealthy detours into a full El Salvadoran home-remedy exchange — 7Up in the glass bottle, tomato on the forehead, and onions in your socks to pull the toxins out. CeeLo declares it a rare day the Space gives out actual alpha.

[48:00–54:00] The origin stories. Baked recounts missing the mint and buying two Regens five minutes after sellout, making his first real Web3 friend in CeeLo. CeeLo describes chasing the feeling of an earlier community, spotting an animated early Jed in the chat, and realizing he'd stumbled into something — plus the running gag that Solo Dolo is "forever part of the community" because he locked himself out of the wallet holding his Regen.

[1:04:22] BeeCuzFuture brings the flowers (and the handlebar). He credits Baked for getting him into AI, Val for pushing him past just playing with it, and CeeLo — blames CeeLo, really — for the handlebar mustache his wife approves of. He also thanks Lyss for even considering him as a future space host.

[1:11:22] Jed pulls up and busts balls. The founder salutes 300 straight days, recalls the early era of doing Spaces from a train, and needles CeeLo about a content video he ordered "nine months ago" — "what are we making, the Wizard of Oz?" He then reveals a serious goal: get the whole team, space hosts included, to passive income next year.

[1:23:00] Mec, the possum defense. Confronted with intel that he loves possums, Mec doesn't flinch — Jed calls them the ugliest creatures on earth, and Mec calmly insists Jed just "looked at the wrong one." Later CeeLo gives Mec his flowers for building the whole PFP collection on his phone while working a full-time job.

[1:33:59–1:40:25] Lyss on earning your seat. Responding to DMs about the Stefano's whale dinner, Lyss delivers the sharpest talk of the day: no one is owed a seat, you earn tables through consistency and giving before extracting — capped with the offer to buy 20 Regens for "the best event of your life."

[1:42:04] Plattsburgh. When Lyss teases CryptoBulliez for being upstate instead of in Brooklyn, he fires back the room's biggest laugh: "What the fuck is Plattsburgh? I don't even know what that is." He then shares a genuinely warm account of visiting his older brother — who, it turns out, accidentally bought the Bitcoin dip and is up 50%.

Worth a full listen

• [48:00]–[54:00] — The origin stories. Baked and CeeLo back-to-back on how a dollar mint on a dead day became a home. This is the emotional core of the episode and doesn't compress well.
• [1:33:59]–[1:40:25] — Lyss on earning your seat. A sustained, unfiltered take on commitment, giving before extracting, and why the whale-dinner table isn't a free-for-all — the tone shift is the point.
• [1:42:04]–[1:49:00] — CryptoBulliez's family visit. Starts as the Plattsburgh joke and turns into a genuinely moving story about being the first in his family to graduate and now showing up for his own kids.
