Grateful Show

We kicked things off with ApeFest theories around the mysterious 10/17 clue. Japan? Miami? Something nobody expects? Nobody knows, but the speculation was flying.

Then the conversation moved into the bigger picture: ApeChain builders, gaming, coordination, and what it actually takes to survive in Web3 right now.

Jay B broke down the idea behind Bored Builders Club and why founders need to support each other more. Tropical shared his passion for ODK, Render Pool, and getting more people building games and experiences on Otherside. His message was simple: games on Otherside can become the next meta if the community learns, builds, and has fun together.

We also talked with Soe and Mortiz about the launch of Gamify.fun and their AI fighter game. The community was already jumping in, fighting, competing, and having fun — exactly the kind of simple, social, gamified experience ApeChain needs more of.

Art was the main character in this episode.

From the first minutes, you could feel that something is moving again in Web3 — mints happening live, collectors showing up, artists building, and the ApeChain timeline starting to feel alive.

Efdot joined us to talk about GLifs, his visual language built from symbols, travel, ancient communication, street culture, and years of creative exploration. We talked about NFC Lisbon, his shipping container gallery, interactive art, co-creation with collectors, and why blockchain allows artists to build something deeper than just a single image.

We also explored Reversoz with DDishOZ ->detailed universe of aliens, comics, fashion, trading cards, and long-term storytelling. 

Then Dario came in with Reorder, a project built around chaos, signal, noise, and the energy of the community taking over.

Art Is The Alpha!

Artists are still the heart of Web3, and this conversation shows why.

I talked with Harto, StudioPaiman, and Marjan Moghaddam about digital flowers, Ordinals, ApeChain, the metaverse, and why art on the blockchain is still one of the most interesting parts of this space.

Harto and Payman shared the story behind La Floristeria and House of Flowers, a project built around gifting, collaboration, and bringing art across different chains. Marjan brought a crazy perspective from decades in digital art, from early computer animation to NFTs and virtual worlds.

We also talked about why artists should not be stuck in one ecosystem, how the metaverse can actually be useful, and why collaboration beats competition.

Great listen if you care about art, Web3, and the people building culture here.

This one is about Frenchies, NFTs, and why Web3 is still fun when real builders are creating.

I talked with Don Diablo about First Class Frenchies, his new ApeChain project built around French bulldog art, guaranteed mint passes, 3D avatars for Otherside, and some interesting mint mechanics with Unvault.

We also got into the bigger picture: why NFTs still matter, why community is the real engine, and how avatars can bring projects to life inside Otherside. Uncle Mac and Hypha joined too, and we talked about the art, the 3D work, Mintotaurs, Tigers, and how much effort goes into making these collections feel alive.

Mikey joined the show to talk about The Mines, his Koda-based RPG that started as a learning project and slowly became a full game people can download and play. What I love about this story is that he did not come in as some big game studio. He learned Unreal Engine, used ODK assets, tested things, broke things, fixed things, and kept building.

We talked about the story behind The Mines, collecting relics, earning ApeCoin through gameplay, using AI tools, and what it takes to ship a game when you only have a few hours a day. 

We also touched on the ApeCoin reset and heard how Apes in China are still excited to connect with BAYC, ApeChain, and Otherside.

If you care about BAYC, Otherside, or the future of community-built games, this one gives you a real look at what is happening.

Otherside is starting to feel more alive through the people building inside it.

Marcel joins the show to talk about Primal Instinct, a new survival game being built for Otherside. The conversation is about more than one game. It shows where community-built experiences are heading, and why builders are such an important part of the Ape ecosystem.

We talk about how Primal Instinct works, including tribes, gathering resources, crafting weapons, building bases, raiding other teams, and testing the game with real players. Marcel also shares what it takes to build with ODK, what still needs to be polished, and how people may be able to join future test sessions.

The second half turns into ApeFest memories, speculation, and why IRL moments still matter for the club.

This conversation is about the next wave of creation in Web3, from building worlds in Otherside to creating art with a stronger personal story behind it.

Rida joins to explain the new tool he is building for Otherside creators. The goal is simple: help people create MML worlds using official Otherside-style assets, biomes, and AI prompting, without needing to be a professional 3D builder. We also talk about the Dashbo upgrade, character sheets, storyboards, and how AI can help creators bring their Ape or NFT identity into new formats.

Later, Dario De Siena joins to talk about Reorder Protocol, his return to art, and why this collection is built around fragments, signals, community, and personal change.

This one is for anyone interested in where Web3 creation is going, and why the best tools are the ones that help more people start building.

GM apes. Episode 461 is all about AI and content creation — how to actually use these tools to scale your output without losing the human touch.

JayB pulled up to break down what he's been cooking with OpenClaw the past three months — agentic systems for clipping, repurposing five years of content, generating data from Twitter for like 10 cents a day, and setting up MCPs to auto-publish across platforms. We got into how to brain dump everything about your project into your AI so it actually gives you useful output instead of slop. He also dropped alpha on Andrej Karpathy's Auto Research and how the Shopify founder is using it as a self-improvement loop for content.

HoneyB dropped serious alpha on his stack for Other Games — daily briefs, HiggsFields CLI for renders and video, 11Labs voice memos calling him on WhatsApp to get his ass up in the morning, and how he built his own Sub Magic replacement using Whisper Flow inside OpenClaw. The man basically built his own Jarvis.

Bosu Kev talked the move to ETH (May 14th deadline to migrate your Final Bosu) and how the team has been pushing AI to a cinematic level — combining hand-drawn work with AI to elevate the final output. Big shoutout to Gossip Goblin prompting 400 times to get one face right.

AKYLLES shared his setup running local models on Mac Studio with Gemma and Kimi K2 for sourcing data and training agents 24/7. B

Plus ngbshpend with the big Daniel Arsham update — access pass window moved from 48 hours to indefinite, and a scavenger hunt for 20 free passes hidden in Otherside on May 8th at 12pm Eastern. Treat your access pass like an M1/M2 serum.

If you're a solo operator trying to scale content, this one's a goldmine.

LFG 🦍

In this episode of The Grateful Show, we talk about why IRL is the alpha for the BAYC community. 

From Prague to Houston and beyond, apes are meeting up around the world, building real friendships, sharing stories, and proving that the club is much more than profile pictures. 

We also touch on Otherside, community vibes, local meetups, and why these real-life connections keep the culture alive.

In this episode, we celebrate 4 years since the legendary Otherside mint, one of the craziest and most unforgettable nights in NFT history. 

We look back at the gas wars, the chaos, Kodas, Otherdeeds, first trips, and all the moments that shaped the journey. We also talk about how far Otherside has come, the Daniel Arsham activation, the Starfield Gallery, and why the Ape community is still here -> building, collecting, sharing memories, and keeping the vibes alive together. 

Incredible vibes!
