Quirkies 360 🌐 — Quirkaween, resin statues, and a 20-minute Publix appreciation society

Host: Quirkies (@quirkiesnft, "Sam" on the mic) · Wed, 23 Sep 2026 · 1:03:27 · 7 significant speakers

TL;DR

• Quirk Life teased four community-voted t-shirt designs: two winners ship as shirts/tanks/hoodies, and the two runners-up will still appear — just in a different form [22:17].
• COACH spilled the Halloween alpha: a Quirkaween skateboard deck in both adult and kid sizes, so you can roll trick-or-treating as a matched set [27:32].
• Papii is back stateside and gave the full rundown: a heavy pivot to 3D vertical content, ~30 finished high-quality videos (roughly two months of runway), longer-form 10-minute shorts, and apparel drops every 6–8 weeks [36:13].
• Physical collectibles are going resin, not vinyl — 500 pieces, roughly 0.08–0.1 ETH, pricing meeting Friday [48:47]. Quirk Kids coloring book #2 is live on Amazon with global shipping, with books three and four in progress [42:37].
• Art Basel is still a maybe: a 400-cap venue was found, and Papii has reached out to another project about tag-teaming it [46:04].
• The last ten minutes dissolved, without warning or resistance, into a Publix debate spanning BOGO law, Boar's Head, Napoleons, and the transformative power of hot wings [54:11].

Highlights

[19:09] — Ash explains the apparel revision saga. Ash (@princessashleiv) came up to clarify the Quirk Life drop: all four designs are likely coming, the post was there to gauge excitement, and the process involved Molly and COACH doing the work while she said "I don't like this and I don't like that, do this over again" until everyone agreed.

[22:00] — COACH arrives, does not hate anyone. Summoned, apparently, by someone saying "Quirkaween," COACH clarified his position: "you gotta really push coaches' buttons for me to hate you." He then confirmed Ash wasn't exaggerating about the revision periods, and laid out the two-winner / two-different-form structure for the drop [22:17].

[26:13] — The liverables. COACH, mid-roll on statues, skateboards and digital deliverables, stumbled into "liverables," got helpfully corrected by the host, and took it on the chin: "yeah, I can't say deliverables apparently. I didn't catch that one, but yeah, I see what you did there" [26:20].

[27:28] — "I got a piece of alpha, Sam. Can I spill it real quick?" The Halloween skateboard reveal — adult and kid sizes so families can skate the neighborhood collecting candy together. The host immediately demanded to see it, Ash advised a sneak peek only, and COACH negotiated himself down to "let me see what I can do to not reveal all of it" [28:39].

[32:09] — Papii is back, and defends Quirkaween. After the host flagged the word as awkward to say, Papii took the case straight on: "What's so sticky about quirk a ween?... Is it the ween part? Does the ween part throw you off, bro?" He declared himself back in the building, called the week away "very pivotal," and chalked it up to hammer time.

[33:34] — Parachute pants and the generation gap. The host asked if the parachute pants were on. Papii: "Yeah, they're on. I don't know how that was that relevant." Ash had to run the explainer ("he said hammer time"), Sho admitted she didn't get it either, and COACH diagnosed a narrow generational sweet spot for the joke. The host accepted his fate: a stand-up residency on a cruise ship, shuffleboard, and the late show at 5 p.m. [34:24].

[36:13] — Papii's content and brand rundown. The real meat of the space: resources moved into 3D and vertical video aimed at TikTok/Shorts, with the ambition of being the next web3 brand to go viral alongside Claynosaurz, Pudgy and Chimpers. Piff has ~30 finished videos banked, short films are in the works, and the apparel arm is being built to also act as a production house that helps other projects launch apparel and skateboards [41:14].

[42:37] — Community IP gets the backing. Papii announced Audrey and Flex's second Quirk Kids coloring book — on Amazon, global shipping, books three and four underway — and framed it as the thing he most wants to support: community members building on their own IP. Ash backed it up with a report from the field: nobody buys just one, and she'd sent copies to her kids' elementary school [45:07].

[48:47] — Resin wins. The collectible poll came back "overwhelmingly resin," which roughly doubles the cost but delivers a statue rather than a toy. Papii walked through the Pudgy and Doodles comparables, landed on 500 pieces at 0.08–0.1 ETH, and argued for coming out the gate swinging on quality rather than starting cheap and climbing.

[54:11] — The Publix hour begins. COACH mentioned frequenting "the publics where shopping's a pleasure," and that was that. Ash on why she shops there three times a week in Tennessee: it's nostalgia, work ethic, and home [54:32]. Sho, from Texas, confessed she'd never been to one. Gm reported a brand-new Publix opening that very day and the resulting heaven [57:16]. Then: Boar's Head, Napoleons, black-and-white cookies, and Piff briefly becoming Florida man at the thought of twenty hot wings [1:00:17].

[1:02:43] — The wrap. The host thanked Molly, COACH, Ash, Piff, Papii and Finch, noted that Papii had mumbled something about "major IP expansion" under his breath and decided to repeat it louder for the room, and promised one heck of a Q4 — before signing off on Tennessee pronunciation and the sourdough situation [1:03:17].

Who said what

• Quirkies (@quirkiesnft) — host; ran the space an hour early, kept the thread moving between apparel, content and collectibles, and provided the running bits (cruise-ship stand-up, "round is a shape," correcting the doneness temperature of a lemon pepper chicken sub).
• Papii (@RealPapii) — back from a "pivotal" week away; delivered the state-of-the-project: 3D/vertical content push, apparel drop cadence, coloring book #2, Basel maybe, resin collectibles, Ultra Kingdoms ambassador search.
• COACH (@punkrockcoach) — apparel and skateboard side; explained the two-winner drop structure, teased the adult/kid Halloween decks, and anchored roughly half the Publix segment.
• Ash (@princessashleiv) — apparel input and quality control ("this needs to change, and that needs to change"), champion of community-built IP, and the room's leading Publix historian.
• PiffsPeak (@RealPiffsPeak) — content production; new software turning kids' sing-alongs into music-video-style shorts, a short dropping same day, and consistent weekly output.
• Sho (@AgogoKaren) — checked in on the website update, kept the Halloween thread alive, and bravely admitted to never having set foot in a Publix.
• Gm (@gmatoall) — joined late for the grocery segment with a fresh Publix opening, Piggly Wiggly rankings, and a Napoleon-and-black-and-white-cookie deep cut.

Worth a full listen

• [36:13]–[52:43] — Papii's uninterrupted rundown. Content strategy, apparel-as-production-house, coloring books, Basel, and the resin-vs-vinyl reasoning with real comparables. This is the substantive core and the summary flattens a lot of nuance.
• [27:28]–[29:12] — The alpha spill and the ensuing negotiation over how much of the Halloween deck COACH is allowed to show, complete with Ash refereeing and the host being told not to bully him.
• [53:24]–[1:00:40] — The food tangent in full. Coffee creamer, Tennessee's BOGO statute, Boar's Head samples, and Piff's wing-induced transformation. Nothing here is actionable and all of it is a good time.
