Gaming Apes Show Ep. 2,732,991, hosted by @SquiddyNFT, Aug 17, 2026.

• A loose, warm Monday hangout episode: no hard news, lots of Ape Chain community vibes, cards, poker recaps, other-side builds, and a heavy dose of NFL trash talk.
• Lyss co-hosted as a guest, comparing notes with Squiddy on running spaces; her daily "Re-envisioning Web3" show just hit episode 300 and now anchors a new network called Three Spaces.
• Recaps of the Ape Church poker tournament (~280 entrants, a Mutant Ape as the free-roll prize) — Mikey finished 20th and cashed some APE; Squiddy got knocked out on pocket aces gone wrong.
• Pillow and Mikey detailed a from-scratch music-festival build on the Otherside ("rave in the forest"), including a Mac Miller tribute and a Blink-182 night, plus the clever workaround for the ODK's 52-minute audio cap.
• Jed suggested putting the Fisters PFP on Unvault to expand reach; Squiddy said he's actively working on it and floated a gaming-ape-show fantasy football league that the room enthusiastically drafted in real time.
• APESister Grace closed the show by singing "Amazing Grace," and a floor-sweep by Poppy sent the Fisters open-sea floor up hundreds of percent.

• A loose, warm Monday vibe show: stonk brokers on Robinhood chain flipping the Bored Ape Yacht Club by floor was the running backdrop, with SimpleFarmer (the dev) dropping in to talk shop.
• The one genuinely somber thread: Nifty Island is shutting down. JB, Makaveli, Otter and Bagel walked through what happened (likely a rewards-contract hack tipping the scales) and why they're not bearish on Other Side.
• Grateful and Squiddy compared notes on X's paid handles, spaces "rugging," and the 500k-verified-impressions original-content bar Squiddy is now chasing with a five-tweets-a-day plan.
• Ape Fest in Charleston is two months out; Baron is collecting side-event ideas via a Google form, and a basketball event is in the works.
• Two Fisters given away — a top-250 to Tony, plus one to happy war bird — and Beamer Boi got recruited on the spot.

• Bagel walked through his first Bored Ape acquisition — a multi-blue-chip OTC trade through Grails OTC that even got written up in an article — and explained why he leaned all the way into the Yuga ecosystem.
• Squiddy recapped five days at the National Card Show in Chicago: overwhelming crowds, live shopping (whatnot/eBay), Panini NFTs, and 11-year-olds out-hustling grown adults.
• Squiddy announced he's a founding-team member of a new collectibles startup called Grails (handle GRAILZ, Grails.com), currently in stealth/raise with a closed beta a few weeks out.
• Simple Farmer stopped in fresh off "coffee with Captain" to talk Stonk Brokers, Robinhood Chain / RWAs, and his role in the early build of Unvault.
• Alex Lee shared alpha on adding ERC-6551 wallets to the Daruzu collection, inspired by Stonk Brokers; Boris covered new pack-opening features on SBS Fantasy (banana ball) as football season approaches.
• Makaveli/Grateful ran through the week's Other Side lineup, and the room closed out warm before handing the mic to the Grateful Show.

• Makaveli reported the Otherside hit one year of continuous uptime, and Other Games got its first-ever deed to launch through ODK — a community-built world by Tropical Virtual, with ~160 people at peak on Saturday.
• The room framed this as a milestone: the first community-built experience on the Otherside portal, opening the door for more creator-made worlds.
• Tropical Virtual's Unreal Engine classes were a running thread — both LΛW and co-host Elethera are taking them and building in 3D.
• A genuine ApeFest camping crew started forming for 10/17 in Charleston; Squiddy is recruiting ~10 people to lock a campsite, with Rida (reluctantly) cast as ringleader.
• Squiddy announced he's on the founding team of Grails, a sports-card / RWA platform, and is rebranding hard around it.
• LeBron becoming a 76er drove an early-show victory lap; the rest was community shout-outs, AI music demos, and a lot of affectionate chaos.

• The long stretch of the show was a warm-but-probing conversation about the Ooze Gang / Reversos mint on ApeChain — 127 minted so far at ~600 APE, with D Dish (@DDishOZ) explaining why the mint stays open indefinitely and why it isn't about selling out.
• The mint's 15% affiliate program became the running bit of the day, with Squiddy repeatedly (and jokingly) calling it a pyramid scheme while agreeing it's actually smart.
• Simple Farmer's "stonk brokers" token hangs over the room: Squiddy missed the burn window, bought this morning at what turned out to be a local top, and half-jokingly said it made him want to quit crypto.
• Other Side turns one year old this weekend — Makaveli previewed Primal Instinct in Chaos Trials, and the community praised the "games of chance" mechanics honey b. and Dyno built.
• Hypha (@hypha3d) launched a free-to-play first-person "flinger" parody shooter at duty.flingers.xyz; Siwoo walked through the new 8102 order/crafting system.
• Squiddy announced a new full-time job at a sports-collectibles startup ("Grails") and asked listeners to follow and sign up.
