Grateful Show

World-renowned headshot photographer Peter Hurley joins the show to talk Shabangrs. His photographer-led NFT collection that just got 3D avatars in Otherside thanks to Inceptive Studios. We talk about how Web3 opens up new lanes for photographers, galleries, and digital-physical experiences, and what's next.

We also break down the Daniel Arsham avatar drop happening Thursday (only 300, minted live inside the Otherside art gallery), Blackbeard's Bounty with NGB, and Figgy's three pillars: IRL meetups, Otherside activations, and the upcoming peer-to-peer marketplace for BAYC apparel. Finally, a clubhouse StockX for OG hoodies, Bape collabs, and grail pieces.

Grail season is cooking too. Gold ape sold for 125 ETH, Adam Weitsman keeps stacking, and meetups are locked in for Houston, Prague, and Ibiza. 

Vibes are high!

Five years since the BAYC mint went live on April 23, 2021. To celebrate, we open the stage and let the OGs tell their stories — how they found apes, what they were doing the day of the mint, and why they never sold.

Joining me for this one: Roc Sol, Sixtheplug.eth, Honey B, BaronVonHustle, Vicki, Makaveli, Hizzy, NGB Spend, NANA, James Hall and many more! We had 34 people on stage and a packed room of legends. We dig into the early Top Shot crossover, the Honorary Ape origin story, the Cheetah Gang lore, the first IRL meetups (Otherblock, Ape Fest Vegas, Lisbon, Hong Kong), and what five years in this club has actually meant for our lives.

Plus: a few BAYC roadmap throwbacks, some Lo-Fi Radio, the leopard-vs-cheetah debate finally settled...

What an incredible episode!

Grateful is joined by Gene, Essential, Baron, and Nana and other legends for a full recap of the private BAYC × Snoop Dogg 4/20 event in LA — Dr. Bombay's ice cream storefront opening in Venice, the smoking lounge, the food trucks, and the family-reunion energy when all the apes pulled up together.

The crew unpacks why IRL is still 100% alpha, Figgy's "surprise and delight" era as new CEO, the Daniel Arsham 3D avatars going live, the upcoming Ibiza event at Ushuaïa, and meetups popping off everywhere from Tampa to Michigan to Prague. 

Plus floor talk, mutant upgrades, and why showing up in person is the cheat code for finding your people in the club.

We get into the Snoop Dogg compound event this weekend, the Daniel Arsham x Otherside voyager drop (only 300 for $200) , and why the Bombay IP run from frozen pints at Walmart to Skechers is just the start. Ape Fest 2026 speculation gets loud after Garga posts from Japan. Tokyo? Nobody knows👀. 

Johnny shares the Mutant Mondays TikTok and how to get featured. Chespie drops some insane numbers from his Otherside streams. CyberJake teases a Board Munchies x ApeChain collab with NFC chips and a potential mutant as the grand prize. 

5 year anniversary is coming up April 23 and something big is cooking.

We talked about ApeChain infrastructure with Houzi from GuLabs, who breaks down their X-based token launcher that lets anyone deploy tokens on ApeChain just by tagging a bot (no gas fees, no wallet setup). The crew debates token use cases, community flywheels, and whether the shitcoin meta can actually bring new wallets to the chain. 

Hype drops the full breakdown on the MiMu free mint (5555 supply, 3 phases, 70+ ApeChain communities included, plus 3D avatars for Otherside). 

Makaveli teases the new glacier biome in Otherside and upcoming OtherGames sessions. 

CryptoBulliez previews the Pals token migration on Anvil. Plus the BAYC 420 IRL event at the Snoop Dogg compound gets announced.

We kick things off with Baron dropping hints about IRL Clubhouse in Wynwood. Ape meetups are popping off everywhere from LA Korean BBQ to San Diego Padres games to Dubai. 

MASNAH checks in live from the NFT Wall in Brooklyn, still cleaning graffiti and finding corners for new PFPs after all these years. He talks about his journey from painting CryptoPunks on the streets of Miami to landing a mural at DJ Muggs' studio in Burbank. He shares the origin story of how Crypto Painter wanted his ape painted bigger than Space Cowboy's punk (double the size, double the price). MASNAH gets real about launching his own 10k collection as a solo artist and why he cant think about floor price. He calls it decentralized muralism. Punks in Vienna, apes in LA, community gifting murals to neighborhoods without a company or government behind it

We dig into the origin story of why the apes are bored (spoiler: they got rich and ran out of yield farms). 

Makaveli breaks down the Otherside Easter egg hunt that had 100 people running through infinity towers. 

 Plus Rahim puts a $1,000 bounty on getting Grateful to tattoo an orange dot. Vibes are high. Floors are rising. 5th anniversary of mint is around the corner.

Tommy from Gonna Make It (GMI) breaks down how LP Bonds are merging NFTs and DeFi to fix broken tokenomics. 

The concept is simple but powerful: lock liquidity long term, give holders a high yield, and keep the position tradable as an NFT so nobody feels trapped. 

We dig into how it works on ApeChain, why chart has to go up, and how projects with fungible tokens can plug in. 

Plus the crew recaps the Otherside moon drop (on April Fools, no less), Gimbo sellouts and avatars going live, Hype previews the MiMU free mint on April 13 with 65+ ApeChain collections included, and the Aqua vs Orange debate gets completely out of hand. 

Chaos Trials, Blitz Bowl, and a full weekend of Otherside events on deck.

It's the end of Q1 2025 and the Grateful Show hits 450 episodes. We kick things off with a look back at ApeFest 2022, the state of the market, and why bear markets are the best time to build relationships, stay consistent, and learn new skills. 

We talk AI and vibe coding -> from building Otherside objects with MML and Claude Code to how creators are using AI tools to level up faster than ever. 

Makaveli shares his journey from zero PC experience to building a racing game in Unreal Engine in just weeks. 

Plus: Ape Church mint countdown, mutant holder stats crossing 12K, notable NFT sales, why creators should expand beyond X to YouTube and Instagram, and Uncle Mac's latest game updates. Chespie brings the vibes (and a very secret mint).
