Grateful Show

American Ape discussed the journey from comic books to securing a full animated series deal. He shared what it really takes to build IP in Web3, the ups and downs of working with Hollywood, and why storytelling matters more than ever.

He’s launching a masterclass and a book to help others do the same, and we also got into AIP-279, lessons from the bear, and what’s next for the American Ape brand.

Then Boris and Richard Wagner joined to talk about Spoiled Banana Society, building a fantasy football platform, and staying rooted in the community. Plus some behind-the-scenes stories and a whole lot of hyped energy.

From comics to football, with a bit of chaos in between – another great one.

This was a stacked ApeChain mega space packed with guests, alpha, and chaos. LiveArt joins to explain how they’re bringing Jeff Koons’ legendary Balloon Dog on-chain and why ApeChain was the perfect choice. 

Pilot drops details on Night Gliders, his upcoming pixel drop with a wild backstory and mint alpha. 

Jungle Kingz roll through with updates on their campaign, $KINGZ token, physicals, and big expansion plans. 

The crew also reacts live to Garga’s AIP proposing to shut down the ApeCoin DAO, and hypes up the Mintotaurs mega tournament happening Saturday. 

Vibes were high, and the ApeChain energy was off the charts.

We kick things off with good vibes, tournament talk, and ApeChain updates. Squiddy joins to talk FIFA Rivals—a new mobile game by Mythical Games blending FIFA gameplay with Web3 tech.

We cover his journey, NFL Rivals, Mythical’s vision, and how the game brings in non-Web3 players through seamless design and strong IP.

After that, we’re joined by Ape Games for a fun wrap-up on community events, IRL energy, Otherside, and the spirit of building for the culture. 

It’s all about the love for gaming, the club, and showing up for each other.

What a wild Thursday! We kicked things off with some music and good vibes, then jumped into updates from Prague, where the Ape Street Gallery just got a major refresh. Tino shared the story behind the wall, what’s coming next, and how you might end up featured there.

We also talked Clutch Market bets, placed a wild parlay, and gave away NFTs. PapaBones joined to reveal his project OtherRides—custom cars for Otherside built with AI, minting on ApeChain this summer.

And Hiisver dropped exciting alpha about a community-made 3D animation series featuring apes, mutants, and Made by Apes brands.

So much energy, so much happening. Let’s gooo!

In this episode, we chat with Paul Thomas, co-founder and CEO of Somnia Network. We talk about why he decided to build a new L1 from scratch, how Somnia is aiming to power the open metaverse, and what makes it different from everything else out there. 

Paul shares his thoughts on the future of digital identity, user-generated content, invisible wallets, and why real-time blockchain infrastructure matters more than ever. If you’re curious where Web3 is headed—and what it actually takes to get there—this one’s for you.

We start the show with a Memo from Mingles, who shares exciting news about their tequila project, the Cava Program, and how NFT holders can claim real bottles or Apecoin. 

Then we welcome TJ, the Creator, to talk about his Art Pass, his creative process, and minting on ApeChain. Along the way, we touch on Web3 safety, Somnia's metaverse vision, and the power of consistency when building in this space. 

It's a fun, laid-back episode full of alpha, laughs, and good vibes.

We’re back with another wild episode of the Grateful Show! 

This time we hosted Clutch Market – a new decentralized parlay platform launching on ApeChain. We talked ApeCoin staking, betting on NBA, predicting Rida’s drink count in Miami, and how Clutch lets you combine crypto, sports, and real-world bets into one big win. 

Plus, we shared stories about getting featured in the top gaming magazine, our love for Otherside, and why this space feels electric again. Let’s go!

Epic energy and vibes in this episode! We talked about Meebits x Player Zero mint, interoperable avatars, and explored the future of digital identity and gaming. 

Sergito shares Meebits updates, Timmu breaks down Player Zero’s vision, and we dig into Nifty Island’s insights from Charles on infinite land, UGC, and community-powered metaverse building. 

Oh—and yes, we’re yelling “APECHAIN” too. Let’s go!

This one’s a movie. We got Gary Vee on the show, and he didn’t hold back. We talked about:

• What Gary saw in NFTs back in 2021
• Why VeeFriends Series 1 is just getting started
• His long-term plan to build IP across physical and digital
• How he's onboarding new collectors through comics, cards, and cartoons
• Why betting against him is a “very bad strategic decision”

Then we kept the energy going with Primal Instinct, diving into the Otherside and what's being built behind the scenes with ODK. Massive 3D biomes, persistent worlds, and a community getting ready to roar.

Consistency. Community. And a reminder—we’re still early.
