Highlights
How Wizard missed the mint and still ended up with a warren.
A friend sent him the free mint; gas was $150 and he decided no free mint was worth that. "But the reason I faded them is because I know how the industry works. You have a mint, it runs up, and then it drops down" — so he bought his first rabbit off the floor instead. He admits the plural happened sideways: one rabbit "can't be in the wallet alone. He needs a friend, right?" 13:14
"I think he's a bot."
Back in the days of Didi's Playhouse, Wizard was fully blacked out except for a floating wizard hat, in the space every night for a month. When founder Didi floated the bot theory on mic, Wizard grabbed the mic to prove otherwise — and that's how the friendship started.
Fifty-seven and carrying it well.
Wizard volunteered his age, Margie insisted on an upgrade to "hot fifty-seven," and he took it from there: uniform to work, excellent money, salt and pepper in the beard, "oh well."
Dev by necessity.
Wizard woke up one day as a Discord mod without asking for it ("I don't need a badge to do what a community member does"), and when the team's dev had to step back from web3 for family reasons, he took over the dev chair and never left. He also shouted out artist Oki and name-checked Re:gen Radio as a community whose non-negativity he rocks with.
Scooter.
Margie's Bronx apartment animal years — chickens, ducks, guinea pigs, two rabbits, a dog named Brownie — peaked with Scooter, the chicken she fed after-school crackers. She came home to the rope still tied to the dining table leg, spices in the air, and her mother enjoying the chicken feet, one of which still had traces of the pink nail polish Margie had applied. The punishment came for refusing to eat him. Ryan's follow-up, "did this traumatize you, Margie?", was not strictly necessary. 22:55
Rabbit facts, with editorial.
Asked whether rabbits should eat carrots daily, Wizard offered that his rabbits mostly smoke theirs. Margie then ran the real list: carrots are a sugary treat, not a staple; a baby is a kit, a female a doe, a male a buck; the happy midair twist is a binky; and rabbits can't vomit, never stop growing teeth, re-eat their own droppings for missed nutrients, and have near-360° vision 32:36.
The latency scandal.
Tricky Buddha noticed that co-hosts hear the question a beat before everyone else — "he hears you second, uh like a second before I do" — and that listeners are further behind still. Ryan was sentenced to a pause; Margie offered DMs as a neutral buzzer. The paw-raising protocol was enforced with escalating threats throughout ("if someone doesn't raise their paw up, they will be going home with a missing hand" 43:55).
"All we gotta do is talk about being old, the alcoholics come out."
The second president of the United States stumped the room until Wizard's hint — "there's a beer named after him" — unlocked John Adams instantly. Margie's proposed redesign of the whole quiz: "Oh, what do you call a model in Spanish? Modelo."
The 420 jet and the billion-dollar joint.
Tricky's trivia contribution was a thought experiment: book a private jet at the equator and fly fast enough to keep it 4:20 on the sundial for a full 24 hours — roughly 1,000 mph. He followed it with the claim that he's invented a new type of joint that doesn't exist yet, with the hard part being a machine the average person can use at home. Ryan upgraded the idea from billion to multi-billion on the spot 1:03:28.
The coffin riddle nobody accepted.
"The person who makes it has no need for it, the person who buys it has no use for it, the person who uses it cannot see it or feel it." Guesses included time and, briefly, a fart ("Who is buying farts?"). Ryan knew the answer and still voted against it on the merits, which spun the room into cremation plans — ashes in the ocean rather than "stuck in that fucking box," and Wizard's counter-proposal of being loaded into a magic eight ball so the kids can still blame him when the answer is wrong 1:11:37.
Tricky's condo, and an NFT for legal fees.
After a mishearing ("all I heard was condo") cleared up, Tricky laid out a fifteen-year dispute with his father over a condo he holds a loan contract on, including a three-month-old escrow offer with no bank, no account, no deposit slip. His half-serious fix: mint an NFT to cover legal fees and distribute 20% of the condo proceeds to holders via smart contract, with the same model available for rental income on his house.
"You guys are my happy place."
Checking back in after a stretch away — a broken phone speaker, family illness, lawsuits — Tricky explained why he keeps returning to the rooms, then detailed his claim to have "hacked the matrix" so that reading his written intro plays his voice in your head. Wizard confirmed it works on him. Margie closed on the same note: everyone's welcome regardless of which community they ride with 1:23:05, and Wizard sent a rabbit to Woofy for his birthday 1:24:17.

Notable quotes
Man, this wizard guy's been in my space every night for a month now. I think he's a bot.
I don't need a badge to do what a community member does.
Ryan, tread lightly, because I got barbecue sauce in my fridge. You might be my next meal.
I would assume that they should eat carrots daily, but most of my rabbits smoke their carrots.
I invented a new type of joint, it doesn't exist. You know everyone's gonna want to fucking try it once. Like that's a billion dollar idea right there.
We're not those individuals that have spaces and turn up our nose on people who ride with other communities. Everybody's always welcome, the more the merrier.
Who said what
- Margie B (@MargieAponte2) — host; rebuilt the Space after X broke the first one, ran the interview, the trivia and the riddles, and supplied the evening's entire childhood-livestock canon.
- Wizard1sgv (@wizard1sgv) — the night's guest; BTFD Rabbits dev and mod, four years in, maintenance supervisor and IT at an LA nonprofit, sober 15 years, Milo's roommate. Also the quiz's most reliable closer (ostrich, Shelbyville, Muriel, dog paws) and the one who gifted a rabbit for Woofy's birthday.
- Ryan (@RyanJ8812) — co-host; opened the room, took Hedwig, Jafar, Italy, Saturn and Spielberg, and registered the night's only formal dissent — against the coffin riddle.
- Tricky Buddha (@TrickysNFTs) — returning regular; flagged the co-host audio advantage, pitched the 420 equator jet, the invented joint and the legal-fees NFT, and gave a candid update on his condo dispute and his stretch away from spaces.
- RobbAllen (@RobbAllen15) — speaker; knew doe and buck before he was asked, did the football-field math out loud, and clinched Netflix's founding year the hard way: "I had an interview at Netflix in ninety seven" 59:13.
- El Gato Satoshi (@Soy_tu_Satoshi) — in the room; landed Liverpool for the Beatles 56:27.
Worth a full listen
- 9:55–15:33 Wizard's uninterrupted account of how he joined, modded and ended up as dev of the BTFD Rabbits. It's the clearest thing in the Space about why he's stayed four years, and the bot story lands better in his own delivery.
- 20:09–25:04 Scooter, Brownie, the chicken feet, the pink toenail and Ryan's follow-up questions. Fully unsummarizable; the pacing is the joke.
- 1:09:10–1:12:10 The coffin riddle, the collective refusal to accept it, and the pivot into ocean scatterings and the magic eight ball. The riddles stopped being riddles about four answers earlier and nobody minded.
