Highlights
Ash walks the room through Sunday's bodega ritual.
Arriving first with a crew of NQC first-timers (Piff, Drew Astro, Super), she plays veteran guide into the back of "La Bodega" — the storefront that fronts a diehard Yankee-fan clubhouse — and describes watching Papii thrive among the seasoned bleacher crowd who still remember his dad.
A 16–1 demolition sets the tone.
The Red Sox pitching to their shortstop by the fifth, the bleachers packed with quirkies, and a nightcap at Twins — Ash's "usual Yankee day," until Papii jumps in to remind everyone it turned into a 14-hour marathon of bowling, tacos and shenanigans.
Papii on the venue and the reveals.
He credits Sports DeFi and his wife for a rooftop-bar space they "couldn't have drawn up any better," then runs through the collector's pins (~100 of each, with 40–50 sets going to the website before selling out for good) and the first-ever public look at the physical collectible and Quirk Kids app.
Piff shares the Quirk Kids moment.
Just home and out of the shower, he admits he was genuinely nervous standing at his own TV explaining the educational side of things — and marvels that people kept circling back to the Quirk Kids screen to rewatch the two 4K animation clips he's most proud of.
Papii gives the team their flowers.
He calls it as close to a perfect weekend as they could have dreamed, and shares that a college friend of 15 years — one quirky last year, 29 now — got teary-eyed at dinner, comparing last year to this year as "a Toyota Corolla to a Lamborghini."
Ash's shoutout to Show, and Sam's dry rebuttal.
Ash praises Show for covering the door all night and refusing every break — "thank you for letting me boss you around because yes, I am the boss." Sam gently notes Show wasn't at the door when he left to say goodbye, before signing off to "all of our Toyota Corolla drivers in the community."
The official steakhouse of Web3.
Ash's tribute to Jed and Liz for shutting Stefano's down to the public — twice — lands as one of the warmest beats of the night: "you guys are literally the official steakhouse of Web3."
The bounty and golden-ticket giveaways.
Papii explains the new quirkhub.xyz/bounty tool Josh built in ninety minutes: buy one of the flagged OGs, land in the wheel, one of eight wins the OG outright. Ash adds the New Cork City apparel golden tickets — snack pack already won one — pairing with a Molly-designed golden skateboard.
Jed on the whale dinner.
He recounts the "chairs" gimmick nobody sat still for ("Web3 people never listen, everybody looked under their chairs"), the after-hours he was reluctantly talked into keeping open, and being pleasantly surprised the holders weren't the 60-year-old dudes he'd imagined.
The Lamb Preacher.
Papii declares himself the future "Lamb Preacher" of Twitter, briefly mistakes the lamb for goat, and lets slip that the pork chop is "wagyu on the bone" — a secret he swears will die with him.

Worth a full listen
- 5:21–11:06 Ash's bodega-to-bleachers narration is the weekend in miniature: the food, the tradition, the Yankee blowout, and the affection for Papii's connection to the place. A summary flattens the texture.
- 47:51–54:11 The Jed exchange runs on genuine warmth and food-nerd rapport, from the chairs bit to the Lamb Preacher declaration and the wagyu-pork-chop "secret."
- 42:13–45:45 Worth it if you want the actual bounty mechanics: how quirkhub.xyz/bounty works, the today-only sweetener, and how Schnecky's donated OG got the whole thing going.
