Highlights
"Live from Vegas. I survived."
Jed opened by thanking the pilot personally for landing the plane, then relocated to the bathroom for better audio at Sho's request. Sho asked the obvious follow-up question; Jed declined to confirm.
The six-hour flight nobody warned him about.
Jed recounted discovering mid-week that his "four and a half hour" flight was closer to seven, called it his best travel day ever anyway, and drew a real distinction between fear and phobia: a fear you can talk yourself through, a phobia buckles your legs whether you agree with it or not. First-ever airport bar drink logged.
On respecting Apes.
Responding to Wizard's note about a post of his, Jed laid out why dunking on Bored Apes is a losing trade: they were first, they've consistently done IRL, and "30 years from now" the story will be punks and apes. He's bullish on Figgy specifically because he's reachable — "What you mean a founder you can reach?" as Wizard put it 24:45. He also noted he'd do ApeFest Coachella-style with apes as the VIP tier, but acknowledged it's their business.
Nobody wins when a blue chip gets liquidated.
Jed's take on people rooting for big projects to implode: the carnage is the trickle-down, as wiped-out holders dump everything else to recover. "Why would you want all that eat to get liquidated... just so you can say haha? Grow the fuck up."
Practical CT tip of the day.
Jed admitted he'd only just learned that plain reposts effectively vanish into a separate tab nobody checks — from here on, quote repost or don't bother.
SLICK RIC's flooded house.
He opened with Vegas logistics (gordos tacos, you can walk to the stadium from the Excalibur), then mentioned his wife had called that morning about a burst pipe underground: floors, walls, the lot. His framing: at least he has a house that can flood and a bathroom he gets to fix. Some people don't have that.
Lyss on a year of compounding.
A reflective stretch about June of last year versus now: the projects, the people who came and went, and the gratitude for the ones still building. "We've been through it... but we are still here."
Hot Seat: HEARTBREAK.
Burningbush ran the 30-second clock. HEARTBREAK, 28, has scored video games and TV — Cyberpunk, a Tyler Perry show — is starting an NFT project still in development, and has a four-month-old son. Verdict from the chair: "He's a chill guy."
"The Hop Don't Stop."
Burningbush dropped a custom track for Wizard1sgv about the rabbits, which Wizard immediately nominated for a top 10 that didn't exist yet. Two minutes later 44:28 Burningbush announced he's building the chart to go with it — a streaming home for every community song, weekly tracking, annual awards, manifesting loudly.
Rarity scores vs. knowing your collection.
Sparked by Wizard checking with Lyss on a buy he'd already made on vibes, Jed explained why rank and price diverge — flip brims, red merge caps, LV hoodies trading 4–5x floor well off the rarity leaderboard. His advice: the traders who win pick one collection and learn its nuances.
Permission, granted.
Wizard asked outright whether he could use Lyss's and Jed's PFPs in a sci-fi space odyssey. Instant yes from both; Burningbush offered his alien character Ned over his current Moses PFP as better casting, and chazzgold.eth volunteered a blue alien. Wizard's standing practice — 79 chapters deep on a prior story — is to always ask, because it's the holder's IP.
Piff's song.
Jed played a track Piff wrote about his own life — his mother, the projects, surviving — saying it hadn't gotten the reach it deserved. A noticeably heavy beat in an otherwise light show, framed as the real version of "the person behind the PFP."

Notable quotes
Everyone knows that I'm part AI at this point. I've become one with the AI and with the machine.
30 years from now, what do you think? People are gonna talk about punks, apes, and how like this shit all started.
At least I got a house that could get flooded, and I got a bathroom that I get to fix. Some people don't even got that.
When you're sharing it on the space from Vegas, nothing stays in Vegas.
I always make sure that I got permission to use the people's PFP because it is their IP.
Sinks are important when it comes to tokens. Can't give people tokens when only one utility and swapping — that doesn't work.
Who said what
- Lyss (@Lysss302) — host; set the loose Saturday format, ran shoutouts (Val, Wolf, Meow custom souls), walked through the regennoir.com updates and evidence files, teased Mr. Morton chapter two, and delivered the Bills-loyalty-as-community-loyalty closer.
- Jed (@jed_131) — cohost calling in from Vegas (and briefly a bathroom); flight saga, the Apes/liquidations takes, rarity-score coaching, Think Tank → Discord news, and the Piff tribute.
- Burningbush (@BurningBush_eth) — ran the Hot Seat, dropped the custom tracks, announced chapter two, the Monday merch teaser, and the Burning Bush Radio chart; ongoing defender of In-N-Out against Waffle House comparisons.
- Wizard1sgv (@wizard1sgv) — rabbit co-owner and prolific writer; DHL/ApeFest shipping saga, bought in on community over rarity rank, and lined up a new sci-fi story using community PFPs with permission.
- SLICK RIC (@richj530) — Vegas intel, gratitude under a flooded floor, and a formal PSA demanding respect for McFly's name.
- Sho (@AgogoKaren) — chief sound-quality critic and Lego correspondent; baked cookies for the old men at Starbucks, issued one credible Lego-related threat.
- HEARTBREAK (@playheartbreak) — Hot Seat debut; composer turned NFT builder, new dad, self-described chill guy.
- chazzgold.eth (@chazz_gold) — talked Claude-assisted site building and embeds, sent Burningbush a laptop and a plugin, offered up his blue alien for the story.
- DaFameless (@DaFameless) — checked in at a calm six out of ten energy, said what matters is the group of friends and projects doing well.
Worth a full listen
- 27:55–33:29 SLICK RIC's flooded-house gratitude flowing straight into Lyss's reflection on the last year and Slick's riff on people being placed in your life for a reason. The warmest stretch of the show, and the summary flattens it.
- 39:11–46:22 Hot Seat, the wizard song, and the Burning Bush Radio announcement back to back. You want to hear the track, not read about it.
- 1:13:20–1:21:30 Piff's autobiographical song, then the "Grab a Mic" closer that names what sounds like half the room. The tonal swing from one to the other is the show in miniature.
