re:envisioning web3 | Saturday Steak and Vibes — "The McFly Steak Incident"

Lyss opened with the final call on the Regen Noir × Ghostwear drop and walked through the new website: enter via the impala outside De Stefano's, poke around, and if you're first to screenshot what you think is a code, send it to Jed, Lee or her for a shot at a free regen. She also shouted out the Recap Spaces milestone for Dan and the regens' bi-weekly Otherside meetups run by Ghostin, Bait and Sal.

Fresh off night turns and a West Virginia win, Woof defended his Sasquatch space: every piece of evidence "looks like it was taken through a potato." Lyss confessed she lurks in a Facebook group that organizes Bigfoot hunts in the woods purely to read the posts.

Jed burst in accusing the room of a covert operation to break his 368-day streak, then pivoted to a guessing game about the celebrity sitting in his dining room ("the biggest star in Colombia"). Several minutes and one Puerto Rican correction later, the room landed on Rauw Alejandro, and Lyss noted she'd have Ubered over for Maluma.

GVG gave the full recap: a poker tournament rolling into an ice rink, Adam knocking out three players in one hand, Figgy's chain coming off his neck for the bounty winner, mutant infusions and vodka everywhere. He's running a 13-community Web3 Poker League with a $5,000 sweep for the winning community — and casually announced mid-story that someone had just cracked him with a set while he spoke.

Lyss's position: the regens don't need a poker lane when GVG already owns it — go support them. That turned into a concrete plan with Jed: Monday nights at the steakhouse starting January, token-gated (maybe "one of your NFTs plus a regen to even get in the doors"), fully New York–compliant, with a dedicated regen night online first and swept regens as prizes.

Setting up a sweet anecdote about cooking steaks for his daughter's birthday, GVG mentioned McFly came over. Jed, who has spent a year making this man custom pasta, went into free fall: a height-requirement sign at the door set two inches above McFly, Mike instructed to block his number, and a request that if McFly surfaces, you call the restaurant, not Jed's phone. The aggravating detail was the destination, not the meat — "he craved a steak from GVG's barbecue."

He arrived with a phone blowing up like a medical emergency and a defense built on entrapment: no chairs in the backyard, thirty steaks on the grill, smoke in his face by design. His wife wanted a bite, the bite became a whole steak. On the rumored to-go bag he took the fifth, and he did commit to his next steak being at De Stefano's.

Margie B reframed the entire Saturday format ("who is eating meat behind your back"), while CryptoBulliez — several drinks in and admirably honest about it — alternated between defending McFly's heart and rescinding his offer to cover his next steak. He also caught a stray from Jed about his mining setup, got an immediate apology ("nobody thinks you're a scammer, they think you're the son of Lionel Richie"), and used the opening to explain the Pixel Pals × Ape Chain collab.

Having been pulled out of putting his son to bed by a text from Jed, Lee turned the whole saga into an actual song — PFP change, Ape Fest, green visors, grill smoke rising — and played it live. He followed it up by suggesting McFly fetch a bar stool to come up to his level, then closed with a PSA: the code words are not on the token-gated Regen Noir site, Water, stop guessing there.

Ascend ("longtime listener, first time caller") brought up a friend of Jed's who's been away for close to a year and just wanted to hear his voice. He still has his regen — the masked one with the gold chain — and he'd like some merch. Lyss promised to clip it for Jed, who was back in the kitchen.
