Hey, not bad, we're starting off the day just right. We got a group, we got a, we got a gathering. We're gonna celebrate. Today it's free mint day. We got the panda cubs Out in the wild. The airdrop was successful oh my goodness. And now we have just a few more To go to complete the panda cubs Collection.
Speaker 4:Now here's something really Important as you are Gathering these cute little panda cubs, it's really really Important that you understand that there is somewhat Of a bounty going on today. So there are 10 NFTs, 10 panda cubs that are going to be In wallets At some point today, that are going to Be receiving a legendary In the future. We have 10 legendary panda cubs being worked on at the moment. So, as you're minting and looking through your adorable panda cubs, make sure you keep an eye out For these traits. Mouth Smile so there's a few mouth traits, but the smile You're going to be wanting to look out for, as well as any Christmas hat, the green Christmas hat or the red Christmas hat. If you get a panda cub With a smile and any Christmas hat, you will be getting one of the legendary panda cubs. They're being finalized. We don't have them quite yet, so you'll have to hold on to that little panda cub and when the time comes, whoever has those Specific smile Slash Christmas hat, panda cubs again green or red You'll be getting a legendary In the future. So I know there's a couple people that already reached out to me and verified they've got one of those. They're pretty excited. So If you See those on the floor you might want to offer up Some W-E-T-H or go ahead and just scoop those up If they get placed on the floor.
Speaker 4:So let me explain just a little bit About what's going on here. We did an airdrop two days ago and Let me tell you why this is significant. This is pretty significant because we have, let's see here, two years now In the NFT space. Congratulations, panda Mania. Happy two year anniversary. Slash birthday. We have survived.
Speaker 4:I think every type of market there is In Web 3 and we'll see what kind of markets Show their faces next, but Bear or ball, it doesn't matter. We're going to be here and we're going to be celebrating. We're going to be having a good time, we're going to be helping Real life pandas. We're going to be doing all sorts of cute stuff and you guys should hop on. I've been telling you for a couple years now We'll be here forever. You guys, we're not going anywhere. We have such a passion for these Sweet pandas in real life that whatever we need to do On the Web 3 slash In real life front will make it Happen. Let me just explain here real quick. We got the airdrop successful. We got Almost 2,500 panda cubs airdropped A couple days ago and this is exciting because I'll tell you our 3 original collections.
Speaker 4:Like a crazy man, I got into this NFT space 2 years ago. I fell in love with it. I fell in love with the idea that you could create a club and token gate stuff and have a membership and do cool shit. And I was like I'm in, I want to do this, I want to start running, I want to start sprinting, I don't want to wait, I can't wait any longer, let's go. And that's what I did. And if you sprint Before you're able to walk, sometimes you don't Trust the devs In the space that everyone tells you Is going to scam you. So, like a crazy man, you manually upload Every single one of your NFTs To open-space, open-seat, and so that's what we did. We manually uploaded everything. We lazy minted 3 entire collections and it was a wonderful experience.
Speaker 4:In hindsight, now that I've worked with A smart contract, it's remarkable and amazing, but it's really fun to look back and think, okay, what if we didn't do it that way? What if I did have a smart contract? What if we did a free mint? What if we did this? What if we did that? There's a lot of what-ifs that you can ask yourself, but I just like to look at it and say thank you for how it happened and how it went down, because we're at where we're at right now and we're hanging successful, and so I'm just really happy with how it all went down. But it gave us a really great chance To get to know each other.
Speaker 4:We worked with a lot of manual uploads and tickets and discord and one-on-one conversations Making things happen. In that process I was able to really Get to know each and every one of you and get to know each and every one of our holders and chit chat, and it has been a remarkable experience Getting to know each and every one of you One-on-one, and I don't know If there are a lot of other NFT founders that have that privilege To essentially Force that process upon Both parties To have some one-on-one chats and tickets To make things happen, and in the end it's given us A little bit of a mom-and-pop type feel. Mom-and-pop shop, if you will. We're definitely not the Apple store. Things aren't and haven't always been Top-notch polished right from the get-go. We are getting there though. We're building there and we're cleaning things up. We're getting smart contracts. So that's why it's really exciting to me today We've got a smart contract.
Speaker 4:We had a successful air drop. It went off just perfectly. I recorded the whole silly experience. You can watch through me Doing an air drop and getting excited. It really is exciting to me Because I was doing one at a time NFTs for a long time so I'm a little nervous. I'm not gonna lie. I know I sound confident. We did the air drop. It was successful.
Speaker 4:But I'm looking here at the PandaCubs mint page. It starts at 9am and I'm trusting technology here. Manifold doesn't allow me to put To the specific time zone. It's making me rely on the trust Of the international codes. So it says here Drops today at 9am. I see it on my screen. I hope you guys see it on your screen With the right time. So I'm just trusting that everything's Gonna go through smooth. Again it's 8am whatever time it is for you, it's in 18 minutes. That should switch over and allow those on the whitelist to grab A few more PandaCubs.
Speaker 4:So again, I'm excited. We've got a mint page. I just can't tell you how powerful and godlike and wizardlike I felt being able to send out Thousands of NFTs at one time. You guys have to understand that I've been dealing with one NFT At a time for a long time, so I'm excited. So, with that being said, it should be ready to rock. You should be able to hop on there. I have definitely over allocated here, my friends. I have to explain my process. We got conquest request and, thank you, my friend, I'm gonna bring conquest up to chat so you guys don't have to listen to me Rambling to myself up here. Conquest, what's going on, my friend? How are you bro?
Speaker 5:What up bro, how you doing.
Speaker 4:Doing great. You saved everyone From more rambling from me. What a good, what a good friend. How's your morning going, bro? Tell me what's up. What are you doing?
Speaker 5:It's going good. First off, I just wanna say thank everybody For coming to the space. Like we lame been working Really fucking hard like in a background lately, and for this to happen today Is just crazy. Like so many people that I've talked to outside of web3 Are already like bro, it's like can I get in this time?

Speaker 4:Bro. That makes me so happy. Everything you said makes me happy, bro. I completely agree with you. I'm so excited for everyone to be here today. And I've got another request. Oh, this is how it goes. I've never done a mint part of you guys, so this is my first time doing a smart contract. I've got people requesting to come up. Serena, one of my favorite people in the whole world, let me add you as a speaker. This is exciting, you guys. Oh, my goodness, serena, I just had to tell Conquest real quick, conquest, you're the only person that I know That'll take a nap at like the am hours of the day. I do that too, bro. I'll take a nap at like midnight. I'll tell my wife I'm like I just gotta close my eyes for a minute and then I'll get some more work done. Hey, serena, how are you, my friend?
Speaker 2:Hello, I was waiting to see if someone else is gonna get up, cause I know you're informing about the Christmas hats. And of course I went and I'm like, do I have a Christmas hat? And I had a red party hat and I was like, oh, that's not a Christmas hat. So you know, we're hoping, we're hoping. Yeah, I got a second Conquest. You know that Lane is always working hard on the back.

Speaker 4:Thank you, serena. What a wonderful voice to hear in the morning. I just really appreciate your support and there's something really powerful About having some badass women in Web 3 Doing this. I know that's maybe a silly thing to say, but I just I think you're a powerhouse, serena, and you're running communities and you got your own things going on. And congrats, by the way, on the bull and the bear. Everything going on yesterday and today, that's all happening right.
Speaker 2:Oh, the men has just been insane. It's just been so smooth. You know what crypto equipped is Jim with this project? It's just, it's beautiful.
Speaker 2:I mean he gave the opportunity to the community to say, you know, hey, would you like airdrops Instead of spinning gas on the men? Who's gonna say no to that? Well, I mean, you know some people did, because I mean what he did is. He offered up utility. He gave alpha points to the bears, he gave bullets to the bulls and you know, he said to people you know what? You can get USDC for your bears. You can get Bitcoin, wrapped Bitcoin, for your bulls. Or, if you choose, I'll airdrop you the men for free, and I can imagine what you must have felt like when you did the panda cubs. He must have felt that same thing the day of our first men.
Speaker 2:The airdrops were complete. We were in a live men's space when it happened and everybody started freaking out. Our discord went insane. So it was really cool that we had a live space To do that and that he did that. You know, I mean, because you just never know what gas is gonna be like, and last night we had our first To the whitelist price and unfortunately, it started where it was public price and the discord was again what Is this the price? And we're like, whoa, stop, halt the prices, stop the men. And, of course, cryptocrip Instantly refunded anybody who had overpaid and it was a little small hiccup and it's just been going amazing. And, yeah, it's a beautiful thing. It's 3D art. That's just absolutely incredible. And, by the way, I take naps to. Naps are a good thing.
Speaker 5:Right, serena, always good to take a nap or two.
Speaker 4:Man, that's true. And Serena, I also know you are a cat lover, like myself, and I can only imagine you have some amazing cat naps with your cuddly little cuties. So that just.
Speaker 2:You know what it's true Like if you lay down and you start listening to that per, and I mean I get three of them right Once I get into a spot where they know you can come and be with me and you grab ahold of that warm, soft, sweet kitty cat and you know, last time it would be right on your chest and you hear that per. It just resonates to your chest. Wow, it's almost impossible not to fall asleep. Hold them onto that and listen to it. Right, it's so beautiful.
Speaker 4:Oh, it's the best I was last night. I have to have like a hand on one of my cats On my bed when I'm sleeping, just to like feel connected to him. So I'll like reach my arm across and like put my hand on the cat, just stretch, put a little more extra effort, just to have that contact with my little friends. Hey, people's market, what's going on with you this morning, my friend? Thanks for coming by. What a great surprise to have you here today.
Speaker 3:Good morning. Good morning, lane. I really, really appreciate you, brother. Honestly, I had to wait a second Before I requested up. I'm not going to lie, you guys were having me a little emotional over here. I just want to send. Hold on, okay. I just really want to thank Conquest, my brother. If it wasn't for Conquest, I never would be here and I never would have met this family. Bro and Lane, you've taken the time to actually get to know me as a person, bro, and as many years as I've been in this industry, I've never met such a professional but yet kind hearted, genuine person and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and soul, bro. Like there was no way in hell I was going to miss today. Even if I can't, meant whatever, I'm here to support and I love you guys from the bottom of my heart and soul and I just thank each and every one of you and congratulations for such a huge stepping stone. We're going to rock it out in 2024, bubba. We got this. I love you guys.
Speaker 4:Oh, bro, you're getting me all choked up over here. I just want to give you a hug right now, bro, and I just have to say it's so. What's the word? Maybe validating to come across another Big heart in the space you know and there's a lot of you here in this community Just up on this stage but to come across another person that's Willing and open to share their feelings, like I love that shit, bro.
Speaker 4:I am such a tough guy in you know aspects of my life. I love martial arts, I train, I love to have those tough guy moments, but there's just nothing better than Given a brother a big hug and even having a cry session if you need to. I just love your transparency and genuine thoughts always, bro, and you're never afraid to share that with anyone. I just get a feeling that you're an awesome dad. I watch you doing your wrestling with your son recently and, being a martial arts guy and combat guy myself, I just that just hit home for me. So I send my love to your son with his wrestling. I hope he's loving that and sticks with it. He looked like he was really good at it, bro, and I can tell you, in the old days I bet you were a monster on the mats right.
Speaker 3:To be very honest, lane, I did. I actually placed a state and I actually got to wrestle in Europe as well. But one thing about my son is like I told them, it's not about the wins, it's not about the losses, it's just about trying and having that discipline just to give it your all. That's what I learned from wrestling and that's why, actually, I connected with you on a personal level with the martial arts. People think it's about being big and bad, but it's the opposite. It's about being human and understanding what we're capable of, but not resorting to that if we don't have to. You know what I mean.
Speaker 4:I love that, bro. That's exactly it. Becoming a martial artist allows you to be peaceful, with confidence. You can really just go around with love and take care of things if you need to, if stuff comes up. I love that we got such a great day going. Thank you for bringing such a warm love to the space already. Thank you.
Speaker 3:Again, I just want to thank you in conquest, just for bringing me into the family. Everything you guys have done with me and I do apologize for getting emotional it's who I am as a person. I love each and every one of you and I will never hide who I really am, but I'm here to support All Morning Brother, let's go.
Speaker 5:I love you too, big bro, you already know. Yeah, conquest.
Speaker 2:I love you Never apologize for being emotional. We love it. That is beautiful, and you know to hear that you're passing that on to your son with the slate. We love that. You know that Lane's doing that with his family. I have to you a second, your thing that you said about Wayne.
Speaker 2:When I first met him, I was blown away. I mean he was actually one of the first founders that I really ever got to know on a personal level. I mean I couldn't believe it. I bought a panda and I was in the discord and he was right there welcoming me hey, did you go? Did you do this and did you get that? And I'm like what? I mean he was. Oh, lane, just from the moment, from the second that I met you, you know we just we knew you're good people right before. We even saw the videos where you're getting your family involved and you know I mean, yeah, and we can hear it, even your voice maybe get a little bit of a cold or something. And you know you're still plugging at it, you're still grinding, you're still working strong and we appreciate you so much, lane.
Speaker 4:I appreciate that. I just think it's a really fun process to team up, have supporters and conquest you know, onboarding people's market and Serena hopping in and it's just amazing to think about every step, every little domino that gets us to where we are. And yeah, I just have to thank you guys for teaming up with me to do this project. That's how I feel. You know I really at times I'll be spamming and copy pasting and going crazy and I'm just like, oh man, I hope I don't embarrass my community. I do feel like that sometimes. You guys, I don't want to embarrass you guys ever, or I want to make you guys proud. It's a real team effort and so I really think about you guys a lot and conquest thank you for onboarding people's market. That's such a great way to spread.
Speaker 4:Web3 Is to gift. A lot of people are a little weary. You know people's market might have been in Web3 and understood the process and got the NFT and was psyched. But I've onboarded a lot of people into Web3 from in real life and gifting is a great, great way to do it. And with these panda cubs I'm not telling you to give them away, but gosh, that can be a really great way to onboard some friends from IRL. I know we need and always talk about onboarding and bringing on the masses, but that's done one at a time.
Speaker 4:So these little panda cubs, if you have any extras, think about a cousin or a brother or sister Heck, even your mom. I've got my mom on MetaMask, you guys. So it can be done. And these little panda cubs give it a thought. You know, some of them were given. Might be a nice little way to spread the community and love. And before let me say hi to FAMO and then I'll get to an official little instructions time here. Viper, what's up? Famo, I got by. Famo still, how are you brother?
Speaker 7:Yeah, I'm doing okay. Can you hear me? Yes, sir. Yeah, I think it's 5 PM in our own time here and it's 11 AM. It's almost 11 AM over there.
Speaker 4:We got two minutes until 11am Eastern Standard Time. It is two minutes away. The countdown is on. My friend, are you on the OpenSea page and looking at the Panda Cubs?
Speaker 7:I'm looking at them. I just want to say some words of appreciation to you. You've been an amazing individual to Web3. What you've done so far is so, so, so exceptional. You've done more than you expected. You've done massively well for yourself and for the Pandemini comments.
Speaker 7:I heard you talking about you not trying to embarrass yourself about posting. You're just doing what you feel is best for the community in terms of promotion. I don't think you're trying to embarrass yourself. No, it's not an embarrassment. I do that sometimes. It's just a form of promotion. I'm so happy for this stage at which the Pandemini community has gotten to. I'm really proud of your efforts and I wish you good luck in all you do and all you're seeking to do. The Red Panda Cubs are coming very soon. I saw the art and the art is absolutely phenomenal, to say the least. Big ups to you, big ups to the dev, big ups to the team members, those we know and those we don't know. I say big congratulations to everybody else in the Pandemini community for this huge step that we just attained. Thank you very much.
Speaker 2:I'm on the page and it's showing that you can claim, but it says only times one. Aren't we supposed to be allowed to go with six?
Speaker 4:Yes, you should be able to go with six. Can you not bump that up?
Speaker 2:I'm trying. I'm clicking the plus and nothing's happening, so maybe I'll just hit refresh.
Speaker 4:Maybe it requires one at a time.
Speaker 2:It's not letting me go more than one, but the good thing is it looks like it's only $1.49 or $1.59.
Speaker 8:It says for gas.
Speaker 2:No, that's the ETH amount. It says $1.59 ETH for the manifold feed and it's not letting me click.
Speaker 4:Okay, people are minting. Maybe try to go one at a time. I'll have to hop in to support and ask manifold why? Because I'm looking here at the audience Everyone has value set at six and I don't see any settings. Darn it to do more than one at a time. Oh shoot, see if you can't get in and get one at a time. Oh boy, they're cruising. You guys, we are cruising. Yeah, see if you can't do one at a time, I apologize to anyone.
Speaker 2:So it's $6.77 gas for one.
Speaker 4:And okay, so gas tracker, I'm looking G-Way is at about 22. So we're catching that terrible gas. Darn it, I wish it was at a. I was hoping around this time in the morning yesterday, around the afternoon time it was dropping really low and nice.
Speaker 2:Okay, I hit the plus sign and now it just went to six.
Speaker 4:Oh, nice, Okay good.
Speaker 2:All right, let me just see what that's going to do.
Speaker 4:Oh boy, they are getting minted out. My friends, this is crazy. I can't tell you guys how wild this is for me to be living on the smart contract life. This is the high life. You guys, We've made it. We have made it.
Speaker 3:Hey Lane brother, quick question for you. I can't seem to find the mint link in the discord. I was able to get some gas, so I'm going to grab one. Hold on.
Speaker 5:I'm going to send it right now. Bro, Give me two seconds.
Speaker 3:I appreciate you, my brother.
Speaker 4:Let's go. If you hop into the official links you can find it there. Also, I have put it in the bio on the Pandemania Twitter page right up there at the top, and it should be in a couple of tweets. But yeah, if you just go to the Pandemania Twitter page, it's right up there up in the bio. It's appmanifoldxyzcpandicub's mint. Let's see what number we're at. You guys, we are at 471. Oh boy, there's about 30 left, you guys. Oh, my goodness, we've got Dap in the house and Smilancer. I'm so sorry, I got caught up in the 9 o'clock AM mint. It happened, smilancer. How are you, my friend? Welcome.
Speaker 2:I got six, I got six, I got six.
Speaker 9:Hey guys, what's up? Oh, for those of you who are struggling, the first one just minted. Reload the page and then you'll be able to add five and then mint again. Just for those who are struggling. I'm minding it as well.
Speaker 4:Yeah, minding it, but I have to say Good to know, that's good to know. Thank you, yeah, I guess if we're going to have a hiccup, man, that was not too bad of one. But man, I apologize if that got anyone all mixed up. Thank you for that Smilancer.
Speaker 9:No problem. But I have to say, lane, I'm so happy to be part of your community man, it's been quite a ride. I sent you that scan this morning and everything looks so good. Really proud of what you guys did and I have to say you guys have made me feel quite welcome from the beginning. And thanks, I really appreciate you, man.
Speaker 4:Man, I appreciate you and I have to apologize. I'll do this publicly, in front of everyone. I have not posted about your awesome calendar yet. I didn't want to like just make it. Oh, by the way, while we're doing all this minting, so I'm going to make a big post about that. That's so cool. You've got to tell people about that.
Speaker 9:No worries. So actually, if you guys want to wait for the hot cover, not the hot cover for the paper cover, I don't get it into Amazon at the moment. For those of you who want the digital copy, you can find a link on my Twitter. It's posted to, actually pinned to the top. It's like a really, really good planner for next year and I'll be definitely using mine. I space so much with what I have to do, so I have to have something to write down and I thought I'd make something for other people as well, and I did discuss with Lane to make it available to his holders as well, the digital copy. But for those of you who want the hard copy, it should go live in the next three or four days on Amazon. It all goes well. So, yeah, you can just follow along on my Twitter for information about that. But thanks, lane, I really appreciate you and I like being around with you guys.
Speaker 4:Hey, we like having you around. You're an awesome artist. You're inspirational. You're hanging out in our health and fitness channels as well, keeping us motivated. I hope you've been able to ride your bike recently.
Speaker 9:Yeah, I've still been a bit down from that. My elbow is a bit not coming right on my knee but we're working with a fissure to get that sorted. Yeah, that was quite a big spool. I took there like 42Ks an hour on the top. It wasn't fun but I'm recovering quite well. I can go on good walks again. I do about 10K steps a day again, plus or minus. Yeah, so I'm still on beat. But yeah, I haven't gotten a chance to really go cycling again, but hopefully soon in the next year I'll be back to that. And thanks for the support during the fall and stuff. I appreciate that as well.
Speaker 4:For sure. Yeah, you keep us all inspired, so I'm excited for your health to get back to 100 so you can keep us motivated.
Speaker 9:Thank you, good sir, and yeah, I have to say it has helped to be part of that. The daily check-ins helped quite a bit to keep you on track. I haven't filled in mine the last month but yeah, that's one of my newest resolutions to get back on that as well, just finishing up my recovery. But yeah, I appreciate you guys so much and I'm so happy with what you've done. I really like the Cubs. They're so cute man.
Speaker 4:Thank you. Thank you so much. Yes, I'm really really excited about the Cubs art and we are minted out. My friends, I hope you all got some. Yeah, we're done, it's full, it's all filled up. 2,500 Cubs are out on the market and they're out and about. So I'll kind of give some instructions here and this is just perfect timing. You guys, dap, if you look up here on the speaker panel, dapnation, he is here. He's a big part of this Panda Cubs drop. I'll tell you why and then I'm going to get to you, dap, if you don't mind, kind of explaining some of your handy work.
Speaker 4:We really wanted to celebrate with this Panda Cubs drop and I battled with the idea of what price these little Cubs would be and how we would get them out, and I just wanted to get them out there, you guys, and I wanted to kind of wrap it in a gift, if you will, and give it, and what we're doing, everything that we're doing right now. I just wanted to celebrate. We've been surviving in this NFT space for two years. We've been ups and downs and C projects come and go, and I just really really wanted to have a celebration of sorts with our first smart contract and I wanted to take it to the next level and really bring in some physical products and keep the celebration going for weeks. And so what I've done is, with these Panda Cubs, I have set up a every six weeks little process where you can claim different physical items. I'll ship them to you for free. It's going to be just a little bit of a process in the Discord to claim it and you will need to give me shipping information. I promise out of anyone in this space you can trust me with your info. But there is a little bit of an in real life aspect to this Panda Cubs drop because I'm going to be shipping stuff to you.
Speaker 4:I've got, after six weeks, some adorable little Panda Cub plushies. They are so cute, they're really small and I've set that up for future plushies. If you guys can just think for a minute, the normal, not the Panda Cubs, but the OG Pandas, just the face as a bigger plushie. Just kind of think about the little red Panda Cubs in the future, the red Panda, the big face as a bigger plushie. You know we've got a lineup of plushies coming and these Panda Cub plushies is just kind of the kickoff and they're great quality. They're so cute and really soft. I went for all the highest caliber options that they gave me, and so that's going to be the first one. After six weeks, what you'll need to do is, with six Panda Cubs don't list them, just hold on to them and after six weeks you can show me hey, here are my six Cubs. I haven't listed them and I'll shoot you on over a adorable Panda Cub plushie.
Speaker 4:Now this is where DAPNation comes in. At 12 weeks, we are doing a bamboo and metal Web3 security phrase wallet, cool thing. I don't know exactly what to call it, but it's amazing. I put out a video and you can see it. Something happened with the video quality and I'm so mad about that, but you can see in that video the wallet that DAPNation has made. It's amazing. It's got real bamboo, that's like.
Speaker 4:My favorite part of this whole product is that we've wrapped real bamboo into it. Dapnation has really taken time to make this whole product, from the packaging to the presentation to the logo. It's got this really cool metal etching pen and you'll be able to etch into the metal your secret phrase and then keep that in a safe or somewhere you know, put it under your mattress wherever you're safe keeping. Physical location is for your wallet phrase. Are you available to speak to us and I have totally ruined all the jargon and technicality talk about this product. Can you help me out here and tell people about this amazing 12 weeks product that we have coming for them?
Speaker 10:You, basically you know said everything you need to be said, as usual.
Speaker 2:What's DAPNation? What's the technical name? For the keep sake of the seed phrase.
Speaker 10:Yeah, so it's a real bamboo, stainless steel seed phrase wallet. So you get the. There's 24 sales on it. You'll be able to put in the words if you so choose to use the words. There's also a more technical way of going about it. There is a universal list that's out there on the Internet that you can find and there's 2048 different words that make up your seed phrase wallet or your seed phrase, and you can do it a different way. That would make it a little bit harder for someone to know what your words are. You can translate them over to a four digit number using that. So if you do that, that's one more layer and then it's also probably easier to write that down because you never know.
Speaker 10:It's metal. So if you mess up, it's there. Your mess up's not going anywhere. So we include a, a. It's a tungsten carbide tipped pin that we've included with it now and it'll be able to etch into the metal, the stainless steel. I have done some testing with it. I've actually thrown this wallet into a bonfire and I let it sit there overnight. I was burning a bunch of cardboard and wood and stuff from my backyard and went out there the other day. It's been actually out there for like four months now and it was out there. It's rested a little bit and because I mean it's got to a really high temp, but it's rested a little bit back and still read all of my stuff on there. So high temp, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4:Can you take some footage or a photo of that? That would be a great.
Speaker 10:Yeah, I will.
Speaker 4:What else Promo material that's awesome.
Speaker 10:Yeah, the biggest thing it did was it kind of just changed the stainless steel to like a rainbow color instead. It was just kind of weird, but that's what it did. Going forward, I will be doing a little bit different thing versus the one that Lane got. I will be spraying this stuff on it instead. That will actually put the. Your cells will not be part of the metal, it'll be a layer on top just for consistency and for just the production part of it to streamline it. And it's going to be more consistent because there's variations in the metal, because it's not uniformly the same height, because it can be different bends and stuff in it, and also the metal, being thin as it is, also wants to warp because of the laser. So we'll be doing a layer on top of it instead and it turns it.
Speaker 10:It's a ceramic coating and then when this laser hits it it ends up binding to the metal. So it puts a ceramic coat on it, like you can't even scratch it off really, but you probably could with the Tustin carbide tip. But even if the cells were to come off in the future, you would still have all your stuff there. So it really doesn't matter. You'll know. You know it's from left to right. You go down, it's one through 13 or one through 12 on the left, 12 through 24 on the right, and then there is a space down at the bottom for you to put either notes of you know, like if it was your metamask or phantom wallet or whatever, and some of them only use 12 words, but I wanted to make sure that you could use whatever wallet you wanted to, so that's why we went with 24.
Speaker 4:And I can only I can only imagine the bamboo did not survive the fire.
Speaker 10:No, no, no, that's gone. Yeah, that's gone. Bamboo is gone. The other thing too we also the packaging that you guys will receive this in is 100% recycled. It's from boxes, just cardboard boxes that either for me ordering the supplies, or from stuff that my wife has ordered on Amazon. We cut open, we lasered the boxes and I designed the pack. I designed all of it. I designed the layout. I put the well, sparky made the panda logo that we use now, and then I mean it gets attached on the bamboo. You'll have the 24 different sales on the metal and then the cardboard. I completely designed it from scratch, but it's perforated.
Speaker 10:I don't know if you guys have seen it in the video on Twitter, tiktok or wherever Lane has it now, but you're able to actually tear that out. It's got this kind of satisfying like unboxing to it. You pull it out and eventually we're going to put some stuff on the back of that. So, like my son's name is Edge and my daughter's name is Ember, so we call the little laser thing that we're doing Embered Edge. So it's like you know, like the edges are Embered kind of thing. But so, anyways, you'll see Embered Edge on the stuff and with our logo that Sparky designed as well and we're going to be.
Speaker 10:It's like it's almost like a business card. When you go to pull it out, it's really cool. So when you pull it out to get your wallet out, it's kind of like you know our business card. It's really neat idea that I have. I think. Yeah, so you may end up wanting to keep the packaging, but know that you know it was. It did come from a box that was at no cost to me, but, you know, was something that you know. We. We have cycled Same thing with the puzzles too, so there's also the puzzles Lane. Did you go over how long they had to hold for that yet?
Speaker 4:So the the puzzles that's a perfect segue is going to be the next item shipped at 18 weeks. You'll have to show that you've held on to 18 panda cubs for this one. And yes, the next item is a custom puzzle with an NFT image of your choice on it. Go ahead and explain this one. I'm so excited about this one and Dap. The quality on these puzzles is tremendous, bro. No, I don't know how you do it without any slivers or anything. It's all smooth, it's. It's nice to the touch. It's really really well done.
Speaker 10:Yeah, that's, that's called manual labor. Manual labor, my hands and my laser. So on the puzzles, the wood may vary over time, just depends on what I can source. The one that Lane has and the one that I have probably about 12 more sheets of that will probably get the majority of them done is a Philippine mahogany, which I mean source from the Philippines and it's it's. It is applied with it.
Speaker 10:Because you do not want to use with the puzzles a just a normal thick wood because the integrity of it, the grain, can vary and you want that that that bind in there of different pieces going different ways to give it more structure. The little, you know little pieces of the puzzle that stick out, you know that go into other pieces. They'd be more prone to breaking if we were to go with something else because it just being layers, it would have like a, you know, like a sheer area where it could just snap. So we went with that. It's a three plywood. The top one is kind of like a veneer, then there's a filler wood and then the veneer, the Philippine mahogany, and then after that. So so there's the way the puzzles design. So it'll have your NFT on it.
Speaker 10:It took me forever to get 3D ones done, but I had these done way before the seed phrase wall. So just off on a limb I was like, hey look, I made a puzzle, so did that, and so the the puzzles. I forget how many pieces they are. I mean, somebody requested more pieces. I could probably do that too. It's just whatever. But I probably just keep it standardized to what it is. But it's about five and a half inches by five and a half inches and it has its own perimeter with the bottom. So it's like it's in its own little tray where it's kind of self contained. You can put the puzzle together within its own tray. That way your pieces don't fall out. You have it on a coffee table, wherever on a shelf, and they won't want to fall out as long as you have it, you know, laying flat on the surface.
Speaker 10:When you get this thing it's going to be also in cardboard packaging that's been recycled in the same way as with the seed phrase storage wallet, and you you'll be able to tear it out. That may change. I may get it to where you may just punch the whole thing out in one go and just be left with a perimeter. You'll see when I talk about it later if I decided to do it. But the way that it is now when laying unboxed is it pulls the cover off and it's perforated, so it's got that satisfying unboxing kind of thing and then the hizzles fit a little snug. I'll work on getting a little less snug.
Speaker 10:And the idea was so you're presented with as soon as you open it, with the back of the puzzle. So all the puzzle pieces are on the bottom. So if you just take it out they'll all fall out. So that's not how I intend for people to open it. So I may end up doing a little video of how to unbox your puzzle.
Speaker 10:So the back of the puzzle has a big old QR code that's this laser in there, and it doesn't have like a short link, not like a betly or any sort of shorthand link through a third party. It has the straight up link to open C. That should never change to your NFT. So and then it'll have like if it's a panda or a red panda or bamboo buddy, it'll say that and then it'll have the number that it is underneath there as well. So once you're presented with that, you would then flip over the whole thing and kind of like smack it on the table and it would come out. You lift up and then there's your entire puzzle just there staring at you in the face, the right way it should be, with all the pieces in. So yeah, it's.
Speaker 10:These take a little bit of time to do, all of them do any time. I had to do engraving but yeah, it took me probably 40 or 50 tries to finally get down to 3D because of the different gradients. The 2D is a lot easier, but yeah, we can. We can do it for sure. We also put some food grade sealant on the puzzle. It's a butcher block. Just what was it called? Butcher block? What I don't remember? It's a butcher block sealant. Sorry, jack's here right next to me. She did the mint too. So she, we've both got our six at the same time for the same amount of gas. So she really, I could tell she wanted to do it, so she did it.
Speaker 4:Thank you Daph, thank you Jack. You guys are the best and I'm really glad you spoke about the packaging on these products. Honestly, that's one of my favorite parts is how, how, like specialized the packaging is it's. It's really, really cool and I'm glad you spoke about that. Can you tell me how you did it? Did you have to take different layers and is there glue involved? Like how? How is it? Yeah, absolutely OK, I love it. You guys are really going to enjoy unpackaging the wallet and the puzzle.
Speaker 4:That sound and that feeling of the, the perforation coming undone really is satisfying. It's great and the cool thing is, once you put it back on, you can kind of relive it. It still it doesn't have the exact same effect as the first pop, but you can still kind of relive it over and over again. And so, yeah, I'm glad you talked about that and I'm really excited to you know, throughout this whole process you meet all these amazing people like Daph with their, their art and their, their specialties, and this is going to be a cool way to support Daph and what he's doing. You know he spent a lot of money on this laser and I know you and Jack have a lot of cool things and projects going on with it, but it's it's really a cool. I guess just little personal pride, I guess it's ego really, but just helping people out, I love that. But that that's really exciting to me that a community member can be involved like this, and I'm just really excited that you're willing to do this, daph. Thank you so much, my friend.
Speaker 10:Oh yeah, I mean we had talked about getting a laser for a few years and then finally, like you presented where we talked about it and everything and I was like, well, pull the trigger, because it was like there may be enough demand there to justify it. So I did it, and now we've done like these puzzles for kids and we've done these little purses and stuff where we just engrave the names of kids in them and stuff. So it's, it's been cool. And I'll tag you in a thing Are we still doing a mid-journey thing today, or is it a holiday today?
Speaker 4:I don't know what's going on with that, but yeah, daph is also our Sunday mid-journey hangout guy and so, yeah, we might. I think let's call it a mint day. We'll take. That's the holiday, daph. We'll call it Okay, and I got you. The truth be told, I might go skiing with my son today.
Speaker 8:I might have to.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's a real holiday today. We might take a break. But yeah, daph and I have been doing some real fun fan art in mid-journey and that that's one of our perks for our holders is our AI mid-journey perks, and so, yeah, we've been having a lot of fun putting together some fan art for some books that we've been reading in our book club. Daph, thanks for doing that. And yeah, let's, let's, you know, reunite mid-journey hangout next Sunday. How about that?
Speaker 10:That sounds good. One quick thing with your mid-journey. So, like you know, there's reimbursement for mid-journey, so it's, you know, something that's awesome to have and be part of this community to. You know, get that utility just so that you can use it. I've used the hell out of it Not just, you know, for Sundays when we sit here and make stuff like so, my dad, I finally got it done. I finally got it done. The RV coaster.
Speaker 4:You got the RV, how you made it happen.
Speaker 10:I ended up having to download, like I ended up having to find some clip art and I just worked it in there into the image myself and then I got the whole thing done and he was happy. So I got two posters made with that and then so so that's something that mid-journey is done and then also so Ember's birthday was on the 8th but she was sick, so yesterday we finally got around to having her birthday party. So in the Pandemania Discord in the mid-journey channel, the last thing that I did in there if anybody's curious to see, you scroll up until you find the app ination, and so there's a little fairy in there. Well, it's not the last one, but it's one of those in there. So I ended up making a cake topper using mid-journey, actually lasered it out of acrylic, and I'll be posting some stuff about that too.
Speaker 10:So there's there's a lot more than just you know making just weird artwork and stuff. So I've actually used this stuff in real life to make things that I can call my own and put it out there in the real world. So I appreciate it. Lane, thanks for you know doing what you do and having me be a part of it, and I really appreciate it, man.
Speaker 4:Man, I appreciate you. Yeah you, you've become a really important special part of this Panda Cubs drop and so, yeah, those two, those two products. You guys just keep in mind that DAP really is putting in some personal hours on on those individual little products for you and when they get shipped to you, there's a little bit of labor of love behind that. And, no joke, when I, when I, get my packages in the mail, I'm so excited and I'm like, oh my gosh, this, this was at DAP house not too long ago. That's a weird thing to say, but no, that's that's really fun to think about, the the labor of love that you put into these products and you really can tell when you get it that it's a handmade, really quality piece of artwork really.
Speaker 4:And I definitely look at woodworking and you know carpentry work as as artwork. That's, that's almost a special kind of artwork and it's going to be real mathematical and precise. So I really appreciate that and what you do. Before I get to the 24 week product that you'll be able to get, I want to say hi to Ryan. Ryan came up on stage. How are you, my friend? Good morning, good afternoon.
Speaker 8:Hey, good morning. Good morning, I'm just glad to be here. It looks like we got a nice little room happening here for this met. We're getting times and here in DAP talk about his product is so exciting because he's put a lot of passion, a lot of hard work into it, A lot of methodical thought and when DAP does stuff he goes all out and so appreciate everything he does and I'm looking forward to receiving some of these utilities with this when holding on to these cubs. I'm excited man.
Speaker 4:I'm excited too. Yes, I just am looking here at the Panda Cubs all in the wild. I know officially we hit 2,500 because the OG Panda Cub sitting at number 2,500 spot is sitting here on the OpenSea page. That's crazy to see. It all went through just how it was supposed to. I just want to cry. I can't believe it. Yeah, it's really exciting, ryan, I know you've been watching Pandemania from day one, essentially to hear me goofing around talking about a smart contract. It really is a big deal. I'm not joking. It's such a big deal for us. Eventually, each one of the OG collections I'm going to migrate over to a smart contract man. I'm really confident with this dev stuff now. It's not that hard, you guys. If you want to start creating your own collections, manafold has been really great Zero fees. It's all really user-friendly. If you've got just a little bit of patience and are willing to go up against a learning curve, it's not that bad. It's definitely much, much easier than living a manual upload life. I'm really, really excited.
Speaker 4:Let me get through the 24 weeks. I'll get a little bit of explanation here for everyone, because this doesn't just apply to those that receive the air drops or that minted. Today you can start sweeping these Panda Cubs and as long as from the minute that the Panda Cub is in your wallet and you don't list it I know it might have been listed before by someone else. You obviously had to buy it, but once it's yours, you can start that countdown for these Panda Cubs to six weeks, 12 weeks, 18 weeks and 24 weeks. Start claiming these different products. Everyone, if you haven't minted or got the air drops, start picking them up.
Speaker 4:I'm looking at the floor right now. We have offers. You guys, no one is letting these Panda Cubs go. I am loving. Every time I look at floors. It's fun to think about. There are people behind these and I think about the thoughts and emotions and it's like what am I willing to let this go for? I got six Cubs. I want that plushie. I'm really excited that I've set something up here, that people are excited about the products. I think it's working. I think if you go to the OpenSea page, I have updated the Twitter bio. Now that the mint is over, I just put the Panda Cubs link in there.
Speaker 4:Go to the OpenSea floor, check it out. People are listing at 0.1. It looks like that's about the decided number that you guys are willing to let it go at on the floor. That's awesome. If it drops a little bit lower, I'd love to watch some new owners come in. It's all up to you guys. You guys know I don't care if you sell, if you list, if you put offers. I want to see these ending up in wallets and meaning something to people and they eventually get their way there. Head to the OpenSea page. What I recommend is start putting some offers. The offers are at 0.011 right now. That's awesome. That's not a bad entry point. People aren't.
Speaker 2:No, not only. I'm going to offer for 0.022 right now, $50. Oh boy, people are still not accepting that, that just goes to show up, maybe put some offers out there.
Speaker 4:You guys See if we can't get some secondary volume going here, it's really fun. I know volume is fun, I know in the trading world that's what you want, that's what you want to see. If you're looking for those 5x, 10x, 20x trades, you want to see a lot of volume. And our collections aren't necessarily a trader's dream come true. They're pretty still and in a great way. If you look, for example, at our bamboo buddies floor, people are just happy with their bamboo buddies. I think We've got a 0.45 floor there. It hasn't moved for about two months. It's blowing my mind. I just want to give everyone a big hug just because I know floor price doesn't mean everything and that's not what I've ever preached or shop for or anything. What it does tell me is that people are holding. That's my goal is that people love the project. They see the value. Maybe they win some giveaways. They start to recognize that there is some value hanging on to these little cuties. Check out.
Speaker 4:If you're looking for the first time, looking to get into our community, you might not be baffled by volume. You really might not be. Look at our Panda Cubs right now. We just sold out. There still is not any secondary volume. You could look at that as a trader in this space and say, yeah, that's not. For me, it might not be. It probably won't be. If you look at it in terms of a five to 10-year plan as a trader, great trade. You guys, holy crap, look at our floors. I can confidently say just like, yeah, if you hold on to it, you're in great company. People love their NFTs. They're probably going to hang on to them. I'll make sure, with the value I'm giving, that people really love it. If you're looking to join us and you're looking at our floors, volume might not baffle you. It might not really excite you. But the diamond hands aspect should I really really think? If you're in this game we're all in this game for different reasons. I'm 100% aware of that. If you're in it for money, this is a great play, a long-term play. You might not be able to flip it today. That's probably not going to be your play with us. But gosh, I used to.
Speaker 4:When we were minting out our pandas, the very first batch, I was on Spaces and I was telling people listen, you guys, I'm going to make this so easy for you. Pick it up at 0.05. I want to keep my floor at a certain level. You could flip it for 0.00. I don't know I was telling people this crazy, the craziest stuff, just like. I'll pick it up off the floor. This is a guaranteed flip if you want it.
Speaker 4:It's really crazy to me that no one took me up on that, because that's what happened. I continued to do that. Of course people took me up on it, but it's not really the goal with this community is to do a lot of flipping. I'm ecstatic when someone does. I customized our tweets that go out when someone buys or sells and I congratulate the buyer and seller. I really want that to be a win. I never want to shame anyone for selling. If that's a win, that's a win for me and I'm stoked that the project did that. It's a real selling point, I think, for anyone looking to get into our community.
Speaker 4:Just take a look at the diamond hands patterns. We really, really, I think, will continue to carry that with pride and we'll maintain that status of being a diamond-handed community. You might not buy in thinking, hey, I'll be able to flip this today or tomorrow, but you can sure buy into our community and think, man, in a year or two. Just check out our charts. I know the red panda chart. I guess if you look at it it took a little bit of dip but there's one or two red pandas before that floor pops right up above any lines. It's really fun to think about.
Speaker 4:If you're thinking about in any kind of trading aspect, it's a good decision. Maybe not a good flip decision, but I know a lot of people play the Weath flip game on our collections and have made out like bandits, like crazy bandits. If you're patient with our collections, you definitely can trade on them. I want to get to the 24 weeks. I'll get back to the panda cubs. I apologize for the long shield there Before I do. I see people's got his hand up. Go ahead, my friend.
Speaker 3:Hey brother, I just wanted to piggyback off of something you said really quick. I don't mean to interrupt, but I really want the audience to understand something. When I was brought into the community and you and I in Conquest had that talk of everything going on in life, you were the very first founder to ever tell me please make sure you take care of yourself. If you have to sell an asset, please do so. But let's talk about the long-term run. If we think about what you've really brought to the community the book club, the e-commerce tutorials, all the seminars we have, everything that you're teaching us about real-world assets and what we're bridging web to with web three that is some of the most valuable stuff that we could ever ever have from any community and I love you for that, brother.
Speaker 3:So, as you said, we may not be flipping every single day, but it all depends what you're in the space for. Don't get me wrong. I understand trading brings volume. It's healthy for a community, but look at that, the long-term stuff that we have built. Man and I've only been in the community for about a year. I can only imagine what we're going to be in five years from now. So again, just thank you for never making me feel shamed for having to flip, but thank you for also giving me that long-term value, brother, because it's something that I will forever hold in my heart. And again, I just needed to piggyback off what you said.
Speaker 4:Oh, thank you for saying that, bro, because that's something that I really worry about every now and then, that I might tweet out something, and on one part of my brain it's like this is going to show the community how confident I am. But then I tweet it out and I'm like, oh shit, I might have offended someone with that, because I probably say something like, oh, we're diamond hands, and then someone sold something. They're like, bro, I'm really sorry, and it's just like no, no, no, no, I didn't even mean it like that. You know, like I really sometimes I'll try to put out confidence, and just right now, like I was talking about how diamond-handed we are and that might have made someone feel bad for, like they might have just listed something, and it's like no, do what you need to do what you have to do. I love that and that's what that's what it's here for. You know, pick up a few, sell some. If you have to make a bag on the way up, you know that's that's part of the fun as well. And we're here for the NFTs and the Web three and the trades and the profit and all of that for sure.
Speaker 4:And so, yeah, I'm stoked when someone is able to to liquidate and someone else. Because here's why I'm stoked is because I know that someone else is on the other end of that deal and they didn't get a bad deal. You, you got a little bit of a come up and that new person joining the community is stoked. It's a win-win. And so it's like I man, yeah, sell if you have to. You guys, you know, and like right now I just saw someone list a panda cub at point 085. And I'm not thinking, oh shit, the floor just dropped Like that's, that's a nice entry point for someone, nice, you know, and that a cute little green mohawk, someone's got to pick that up. Who's gonna? Who's it gonna be, you know, and so I do not yeah, I appreciate those, those thoughts, Thanks.
Speaker 4:People Go ahead Conquest.
Speaker 5:Hey for it, for it to sell out in like five minutes. Yeah, it's a good entry point Because I'm getting DMs right now, like damn I missed it, bro. Like I'm like, bro, you're going to have to look at the floor and you might get lucky. Like yeah, that's just how strong the team is. We've been that way and I mean, like he said, it's not really, it's not about the money, like we just believe in the community and we feel like that's what we feel, like that's what the NFPs all work, in my opinion.
Speaker 4:So I appreciate that. Good sir. Yeah, I just love that. That feels really cool and special. When you're like we're a strong team, it's like hell. Yeah, I feel like you're the coach and I'm one of the players. That's how I feel it is a good team, bro. I think that's healthy Smiling sir. What's up man?
Speaker 9:I just had to say I'll drop down to listeners for now. Thanks for having me up. We with family so I just want to spend some time with them before the end of the year, but I'll hang around in the listeners section. Congrats again. Love you, man. Really. Really good job on the. The band of Cubs. Love mine a lot. I did manage to get my six. So happy about that. Did you get any Christmas hats.
Speaker 4:Yeah, keep eye out for the Christmas hats Christmas hats, yeah, I wish.
Speaker 2:I would have gotten Christmas hat Are you saying Christmas hats and a smile.
Speaker 9:But I got some really good ones.
Speaker 4:Yeah, you got to get the smile and the Christmas hats. Yeah, smile and sir. Thank you so much, brother. I send my love to the rest of your family.
Speaker 9:Thanks, we'll do.
Speaker 2:Awesome you know, lane, I always love how you celebrate the sales the way that you do, because you always do it in that way Congratulations to the seller, congratulations to the buyer, you know, and I mean, what founder is out there wondering oh geez, you know, did I just offend someone by congratulating them the time he has? I mean, you have always shown that you know capacity to to feel, you know empathetic towards everybody here and it shines in your project, it shines in your videos. I mean, look at you even. Oh, I was so mad with that video I didn't notice if you hadn't even said anything about your video. I mean, like that video was awesome, dap, what an incredible job you did. I haven't seen that video. Make sure to watch it.
Speaker 2:That merchandise is top shelf and I agree with Lane, that packaging, like I love it. You know he talks about that pop when you talked about it in the video and he showed it to me like the pop and he's like take it out. But you know, wow, when I saw that video, I was just like holy moly, it's a big deal. Like my little red panda buddy says like this merchandise is absolutely incredible and I didn't even think about it. I love how you call me on. You know the plushie is small, of course, because it's a panda cub. You know that is so amazing that you're opening the door to have the adult plushies too, because, just you know, I mean, and never mind guys always remember that all proceeds are going to such a worthy cause. So you should never feel bad about taking some profit and selling, because you know all the money that is being made in this project is going to such a worthy cause.
Speaker 2:That was the thing that tugged at my heart from the first day I found out about this project and you know Lane loves to do it with his panda facts in the discord too, right, you know, I mean, it's just amazing and sharing the time that you know when he does the book clubs and even the whole fitness thing, keeping us on track, for you know, making sure we set some goals and follow through, and then he rewards, you know, anybody who's in that club and, and you know, really showing that they're showing up every single day. And you know there's just there's so much in this project to be a part of to, you know, to see this grow to what it's become today. It's absolutely amazing and you deserve every bit of it Lane. You are.
Speaker 2:You are genuine and generous and I'm just so happy to know you shine as an example of someone who you know you can tell your kids look up to you and you are an amazing father and amazing founder, an amazing friend, and you know, I'm just really, I'm really really happy to be a part of this ride with you and I want to you know, where are these panda cubs going to go? Let's just see. I think they're. You know, wow, right, right, guys.
Speaker 4:You're the best, Thank you. Thank you for bringing up the. You know the different aspects that in my excitement on a mint day, I'm excited about smart contract stuff and you bring up the important things like us giving back to real life giant pandas and the mission, and thank you so much. You're you're filling in the gaps that I'm missing and that's that's just exactly. The heart of our whole project is the pandas, and I I haven't even brought that up. Oh my gosh, I feel like a terrible human right now. But no, that's so, so, so, so, so big and at the center of our project, and I even mentioned that in the last video. You know we're spending some money on the community right now, and we always do, but we're kind of celebrating and putting some money into AirDrops and some products, and I said in the video 2024, let's give a shit ton of money to pandas international this year, and so, yeah, that's definitely on the checklist that I have right now is to get a donation to pandas international ASAP, and that's that's always a really big, exciting moment when we get any new donations over to them. And they sent me the sweetest, the sweetest Christmas card pandas international did and I need to post that because they think to the entire community and it's really important to them to think our community and to think our project because they have been really, really, I guess, played by several other NFT projects and a bunch of people, not just NFT projects but other other companies and businesses. They'll use pandas international and their name to raise money and never give them any of their money.
Speaker 4:And I don't know if any of you remember this, but when we very first started, I was just getting going and I came across another panda project and that's exactly what they did. They told their community that they gave pandas international $50,000 from their mint and I double checked with pandas international and they're like, no, they never gave us anything. They ghosted us, and so we went all apeshit on them on Twitter and a bunch of our community members were hopping into their discord and calling them out and they kicked us out and anyways, we got. We forced their hand to donate their promised $50,000 to pandas international. Yes, and they're not even around anymore. So that makes me feel even better because like they would have just died and said they donated and they never did, at least like before their death, they actually donated.
Speaker 2:Oh, I'm just kidding, it's amazing. I love that you forced their hand. Yes, I love you, you did that. Yes, I mean I gotta add guys, if you guys, if you're not aware, I mean 53.3K donated so far. I don't know if you need to update that, but 53.3K donated and I'm pretty sure I heard you say in a space, one timeline, isn't that like 10K per one panda in one year? That's how much they need for what they need to eat. So you know, that is just such a worthy cause, because I mean, who doesn't love those pandas? Come on, they're so beautiful. I love it when you put into the fun facts too, when you know maybe it's like one of their birthdays, or you know how they celebrate and they give them their little extra. You know their treats and show the pictures of them. You know, I mean it's just I love the cause, I love the project, I love what you're doing here. So really, I just I can't get enough of giving you flowers laying, because I just think you're absolutely wonderful.
Speaker 4:Oh, thank you, Serena. You're too sweet, I don't deserve that, but I'll take it. Thank you, hey, death Human. Thanks for coming up, my friend. How are you? Hopefully we got Death Human with us. Feel free to unmute and say what up anytime, my friend.
Speaker 4:I do want to explain the 24 week option. When you hold on to 24 panda cubs, for 24 weeks, you'll be able to go to our panda shop. We've got all sorts of really great products in there. We've got backpacks, shoes, slippers, flip flops, swim trunks, bath mats, candles, blankets, hoodies, shirts, pants. We got all sorts of fun panda stuff and I really recommend you take a look at the donkey kick shoes. We've got some really really great stuff in there. You'll be able to take a pic and, yeah, that's the 24 week option, and so do a little shopping. I'll be adding more products in there always and so, yeah, put your little wish list together for the 24 week period.
Speaker 4:And I want to let you know that the panda cubs also come with their own special access. Our OG collections have really some powerhouse perks and some powerhouse utilities and we're going to maintain the OG collections as kind of the main access point for the travel membership, for our e-commerce perks, our AI perks, our books perks. We've got all sorts of really good stuff going on with the OG collections and I'd love to maintain a little bit of uniqueness to the different tiers and we've got all sorts of tiers, I guess, within our project, but the OG collections will always maintain those utilities and perks that we've had up until this point. I wanted the panda cubs to have a little bit of their own unique access to something, but at the same time, if you want to kind of quote unquote, upgrade within the ecosystem and start to get the other perks, you'll have to start shopping around for some of the OGs on those floors.
Speaker 4:But the panda cubs, I'm going to give the panda cub holders access to a monthly poker game through our HiHU poker website. It is token gated and the prizes are pretty juicy. We're going to have a monthly game. The first one is already scheduled and so if you are a panda cub holder, this is really important You're going to want to go to HiHUPokerxyz there's the projects section and within there you'll see our panda cub's poker tournament scheduled for January 31st. The first place winner gets $500. Second place, 350. Third place, 100. Now that's going to be just a monthly little fun celebration thing and you have access to it. And you will also have some limited access to GFU travel out of the utilities that we have for the OG collections holders. That will be one of the perks that you have a little bit of access to as a panda cubs holder If that's all you have in your wallet.
Speaker 4:You will get every year, one month out of the year, an opportunity to utilize GFU at its full capacity for one month, and so that gives you the opportunity as a panda cubs holder to say, oh okay, well, let's plan my year. I'm going to go on vacation in July. Cool, hey, lane, can I use GFU for July this year? Boom, we'll get you all set up for GFU for that month. You'll be able to book and use your GFU and utilize the savings, but again for one month out of the year. That way you can kind of get a taste of it. And if you're like man this is tremendous, I know you will because it is tremendous Go ahead and upgrade. You can get one of the OG collections NFTs and fully enjoy the benefits of the full time GFU membership.
Speaker 4:So that's kind of the panda cubs perks outside of the physical products that are going to be coming your way, and so I really recommend go to the poker, get registered. For those that are registered, I guess the fewer number of players, the better chance you have at that $500 first place. And I'm telling you guys, even if you're terrible at poker, it's really fun. We can all help each other out. Maybe in the spirit of wanting that $500. We won't be as helpful for each other, but it's a lot of fun.
Speaker 4:And I'm a terrible fucking poker player and I've won twice. That's like the difference between online and offline poker is. I don't have to get bluffed by people's really good in-person skills. I'm just kind of pushing buttons and and not really trying, and I somehow won a couple of times. So that's going to be a lot of fun to have token gated, because the games we've played there's been a lot of strangers that come in and fight for the pod as well. So this will be fun to have token gated. Panda cub tournaments. Dapp is a great poker player. Dapp, you got your hand up. What's up man?
Speaker 10:I'm okay. I wanted to pass a question for confirmation to you on the GFU travel certificate. They would need to get that, like today, if they had one that they hadn't gotten for this year, right?
Speaker 7:Say that again.
Speaker 10:Gfu travel certificate.
Speaker 4:The free vacations certificate.
Speaker 10:Yes, yes, If someone makes criteria for redeeming that today would be the last day right For this year.
Speaker 4:No, it works off of like a 12 month. Whenever you.
Speaker 10:Okay, I got you.
Speaker 4:Like whenever you purchase the annual and get that free vacation certificate with that. That lasts a year from that point. That's so it's not on a calendar year January to January, I got you, it's on a 12 month period whenever.
Speaker 10:So they start their own cycle, then Exactly Yep. Okay, cool, thanks for clarifying.
Speaker 4:Yes, sir. Yeah, that's a good question. We really have tremendous value. You guys in the GFU membership alone, you have access to a free vacation every year, and it's really great. You don't even have to sit through any time share presentation. I'm sure there's opportunities too at some of these resorts and you can probably get another free vacation.
Speaker 4:But no, there's no requirements even. It's really great stuff and that, yeah, great options that free vacation certificate that he's talking about, if as a holder of any of our OG collections. If you haven't taken that opportunity, there's some golden gems in our perks. If you read the fine lines, I'll even get you into the affiliate side of things. If you want to make money with these different things, I'll pay for it for you. Look at the fine print.
Speaker 4:We've got really great opportunities With our B-Moto AI training. We have two times a week really great sales training and AI training. There's opportunities there to set and make commissions. We've got some real life opportunities outside of Web 3 with everything that we're doing also that's my go-to in life, I guess is just making opportunities and finding opportunities. I love to share that. That's a big aspect of our project also is you have access to AI and training and let's see what you can do with it. But outside of that, I'm also working with a couple people like Conquest sorry to call you out by name, conquest personally, but he's been joining the sales trainings for the AI I'm putting together. I've got a great game plan now for setting and reaching out to people to set up sales for AI. We might have a great opportunity there to make some commissions.
Speaker 4:Life is full of opportunities and I know we are in Web 3, but, man, there's money to be made all over the place. If you guys know my story at all, I am in Web 3 as a passion, is where it was born. I've got my career. I do trucking, compliance of all boring ass career options. That's what I do. You can see why I loved hopping into this artistic world. I've been dealing with paperwork but it's a great career and it's provided me the opportunity to do this and to have fun with it as a passion project slash really awesome opportunity to form a membership and create a whole new brand. Take a look at all the fine details, the small print within any of our perks. There's some juicy stuff in there. You guys, I know we've been here partying for about an hour and a half. I know we've got a $1,000 giveaway that a lot of people are here for.
Speaker 4:I don't want to keep you all morning and all afternoon. I would like to go ahead and start wrapping this up here in the next little bit. Thank you guys for coming and everything Do. A giveaway I do want to just give you a really quick little rundown of this next year and then we'll start to wrap things up, you guys. Again, thank you so much for being here.
Speaker 4:This is a tremendous exciting moment for our little community and we've been around for two years. It feels like a week, sometimes it feels like 10 years. Sometimes Time in Web 3 is really odd, but I am just so ecstatic to still be here In 10 years. We'll be here strong 15 years. I want my kids to be proud of this and take it on if they choose to. This is something really special to my family.
Speaker 4:We love animals and we got into this with my wife's permission to do a project. If, and only if, we helped animals. We chose pandas and that's what brought us all here today is that crazy decision at our breakfast table with my kids and my wife when we started to decide what animal we wanted to help. It's really exciting that we've gathered a community to support this whole crazy idea and it's been marvelous and tremendous to see where it has gone and grown into. At that breakfast table that morning, I didn't think about panda cubs and red panda cubs and bamboo shoots. I didn't think about travel memberships. I didn't think about all the cool perks that we have today. It really started with what cute animals can we help? Since then, the creativity and mixed with community members and your ideas and everything that we've done, it's obviously turned into something bigger and better.
Speaker 4:At the beginning, it really was born out of just wanting to help animals and come up with cute pandas. That's what I found our artist. He was at the time 16 years old in Venezuela and I said I just want the cutest little pandas. Since that day, all he has done is produced tremendous cute art, up until these panda cubs. I'm looking at our red panda cubs art which is done 5,000 piece collection. You're getting bigger, these little cubs, and the next one will be even bigger, the red panda cubs. The art just continues to get more creative, more wild.
Speaker 4:If you notice these panda cubs, they're a little bit more wild than the original collections. They continue to do so. I just give him free reign. He sends me over traits, sends me over ideas and I'm just like I love it. I don't know what he's on, but I love it. The red panda cubs the art gets even more wild. The backgrounds are more tremendous. We've got more traits. It's just so exciting. I'm excited to give you a real quick rundown of 2024, but I got two hands up. I got to get to these Peoples and Ryan, what's up guys?
Speaker 3:My brother. Before you end the space again, I just want to reiterate the biggest thank you and love from the bottom of my heart and soul. Man, before we wrap it up, I also just want to send a huge shout out to all my family out in the audience. I'm seeing so many of my legends out there Ryan Conquest, vinny, nick, old man still, candina, adam, the list goes on, and this proves again. Once again, lane, you've built a solid foundation Again. Some of us have had to make some profits to be able to live Again. Because of you, I was able to go into my last surgery, brother, and I can't thank you for everything you've done, but I need you to understand we're all here for the long run. With you, brother, we're here to build, we're here to grow not only the strongest community but the strongest brand, bro, and you've built that foundation. Hold your head up high, brother. We got a long ways to go together, man.
Speaker 4:Oh, I love that. You got me all pumped up, bro. I need to hire you to give me like pep rally chats every morning. I'll just call you every morning to get me all hyped up on the day, bro. I love your energy. Just tremendous, bro, ryan.
Speaker 8:Yes, one more thing I think that I think you should also address and mention is what we have coming up this summer, which I think is a huge thing coming up, you guys. So if you want to share just a little bit about that Lane, I think the audience might be intrigued.
Speaker 4:Yes, sir, yep, that's the big kind of 2024 roadmap. I mean, if we were to kind of label it, I guess I should probably put together an image for it, because I've got pretty detailed plans for this year coming up. We have the red panda cubs, we've got the bamboo shoots, so we've got some artwork that needs to get out there. But we've got some real life events that we're gearing up for and I'm going to start putting together the actual details and plans and locations and times and dates. But it's about time that we have an actual real life meetup, a panda fam event, and I've thought about it over the last couple of years Do we do a New York NFT NYC event? It's like, ah, do a lot of us go to that? I don't know if any of us have. You know, like, oh, art, basil, let's meet up there. Like I don't know if a lot of us went to that. Like well, las Vegas, like well, I don't know. Like a lot of us are pretty busy and so I've really taken it into account. Like, if we're going to meet up, I'm going to have to like force, you guys here and I'm going to pay for it. So I want to get a few of you here to Boise, idaho. I know that might sound like the most most boring idea in the whole entire world, but I promise it won't be. We'll have a really great time.
Speaker 4:It's going to be a panda fam retreat and I'm shooting for like late summer. The weather will be nice. Boise has awesome summer activities. I've got really, really great contacts. I've already spoken to some really high level MMA UFC alumni that would love to come and do motivational speeches and hang out with us and do training. I've got my personal Sifu and my personal karate sensei. They're down to host any events at their locations. I've got a salt sanctuary here that I want to hang out with. I mean, we're thinking like a retreat. I know these, these NFT events, are all about partying and living it up and you know drinking and music and dancing and I'm just maybe a little too old, I don't know that I get exhausted thinking about that. So I'm putting together kind of a casual kickback no motivational, filled, love filled hangout for a couple days, and so we've got a few categories of people that will have different, different types of access.
Speaker 4:Anybody that's a holder and this will be panda cubs also you're invited. You'll be able to come to any of the events. If there's food, I'll make sure that we have food for everyone. I'll make sure we have an RSVP list and I'll plan it accordingly for everyone that's going to come. But we also have for the 3D stacked holders.
Speaker 4:I'm going to do a fully all expense paid trip for them, everything from their airfare to get to Boise, to the hotel, to the food, to the stay, to transportation here. You know, if you want to rent your own car or something, I don't know, maybe we'll talk about something like that but I'll have everything that you need to be able to be taken care of for the trip. And then there are different tiers of access where you know, I think it was the oh shoot I'm not looking at it right now, but I think legendary holders stacked legendary they'll have their hotel paid for. Anyways, we've got a few different tiers that I put there in the details and you can kind of work your way up and do some shopping to get yourself to the fully free paid. You know, hangout and I'm not sure if it's going to be two days or three days, but that's kind of the timing I'm thinking and I'm going to get out details here soon because the summer will come quick. That's, man. That's like tomorrow in my mind. So I got to start putting the dates out there so that you guys so I'm not stressing you out you have to plan a trip last minute, in a few months, sometimes as even last minute. So, yes, ryan, man, I'm really psyched about that. I'm so glad. You'd think that we planned all these speakers coming up Serena peoples, ryan conquest you guys are all talking about things that I wanted to talk about. This is perfect. So, yeah, that's that's what we're gearing up for.
Speaker 4:Is that Panda Fam retreat, boise, idaho, 2024. If you haven't been to Boise, Idaho, I guarantee you'll leave here thinking, man, that's, that's a pretty nice little place and I'll make sure to make it lively enough and in a few different locations to where you get to kind of see the town and get a feel for it. But really we're going to just be spending some time doing some activities together and I also want to make sure there's some free time for you so that you can go out and just have a bit of a little personal vacation time as well. So, outside of that event, I'm really really gearing towards getting all the IP out this year, this next year. So I know I've spoken about the panda cubs, the red panda cubs art is done and the bamboo shoots will be the final collection and I don't even have any artwork done for that one, so that will be in our. You know, in the background, the artist and I. We're going to be working on that artwork as well as some legendaries for the three different little collections and then we'll have all of our IP done and I'd really really love, by the end of 2024, to have at least one children's book done. That's such a big goal of mine and once I have one done, it's like I'll have 10 done. But I just want that process to be in place. I want the IP to be done and I have to tell you guys, I wanted to push the children's book stuff sooner.
Speaker 4:And my artist who, again, when I met him he was 16, he is opinionated and he lets me know his thoughts and I love it. He tells me Lane and this is all in Spanish, we speak Spanish together he tells me Lane, you can't write the books yet. I'm like what? I'm so excited. And he's like no, I'm not going to let you.
Speaker 4:You have to get the panda cubs and the red panda cubs and the bamboo shoots, the stories won't be complete. You got to have the little kids also. And I'm like, are you sure we can't have some adult? You know the pandas, the red pandas, the bamboo buddies, just a few of books, of just them? He's like, nope, we got to do it right. We got to have all the characters from the get go. We got to have the babies and I'm like, oh okay, all right, so that gives us incentive to finish all the IP, get all of our little characters out there. And that's, that's a big stepping stone, moment, milestone for me for the project to get some books out there. We can educate with those, we can share and spread love, we can make the brand identifiable.
Speaker 4:And I really think children's books can be a hit for adults also. Adults, at the end of the day, are the ones reading them to their kids. I've read, I've read so many children's books at nighttime that I love them more than my kids, I think. And you know I have some of my favorite children's book series that I fell in love with while I was reading them to my kids Piggy and Gerald. Oh, my gosh, you guys have to check out that book series. There's just some really really great series out there that, as adults, that's really who your market is.
Speaker 4:Anyways, the kids aren't buying the books. The parents are. So I would love to create stories that that parents and children can love and pull life lessons out of. And so that's really what a lot of 2024 is gearing up for is finishing all the IP so that we can just go nuts with storybooks, with products. We can start slapping baby panda or panda cubs on products and red panda cubs and just have a full lineup.
Speaker 4:And at the end of the day, I have realized that the NFT space is what it is and projects will run their projects how they want to, but with us I don't think it's a good idea to depend on NFT sales for the lifetime or longevity of your project. That's just kind of a Ponzi. So I'd really like to just kick ass at selling cute panda stuff. And we have our diamond hands rewards and if you guys have been participating in that, I never want that that stream of bonus to turn off. I want that to turn up, and so I'd really love to start kicking ass with and we are, I've got a newsletter, we're selling cute little panda stuff to panda lovers all over the world.
Speaker 4:I'm dialing in the ads and a lot of people think that in this, this web three game, you've got to sell at Target or Walmart and hit these big milestones to like, make moves and make you know, become the best. And it's like I don't care about that. I don't care to be number one in whatever book of whoever, I just want to help real life pandas. I want real money to be coming in and I want our real community members to feel real things and so we can easily, easily, bring in money for years and years to come. I've tested it and we're only going to turn up the faucets and turn up the power, turn up the ads, turn up the budget and continue to sell cute panda stuff. And people love it.
Speaker 4:The customer base that we're starting to develop of just cute panda products is going to start to become bigger than our NFT community and they don't care about NFTs, they just want to help real life giant pandas. And by buying a cute little pillow with I love panda on it, they get to say I helped pandas, because they sure can trust that we're going to give some of that money to pandas international and so that's kind of the long term plan. We've got a video game, we got some some money ideas there we can make. But, man, just simple e-commerce, one product at a time. You can really make some waves and make, make some moves and donate money to to where you need to, and so I'm just really ecstatic about the market ease.
Speaker 4:You know, people love pandas. They're adorable, they're not endangered, but they are in trouble. They still need our help. People out there know that. People are out there, are searching for it, they're googling. I mean, I'm just looking at the keywords that I've set up. I'm selling panda stuff based on keywords like donate to pandas. So I'm just catching eyeballs of people out there that love to help animals. And so you don't, you don't need in this NFT space to come up with or reinvent the wheel. I think we've really found a nice spot to where we can live in NFT and Web3 world and then still just make good business moves and make some money on the outside.
Speaker 4:And I sure am excited for you as holders with the Diamond Hand rewards, to continue to feel that and one day be receiving more than one or $2 per NFT per month. But gosh, even that alone. I don't know how many of you have held stocks, but I held like $5,000 worth of Microsoft at one point and made like what? $2 and dividends a year. I mean, let's be real here, it's not that bad. So that's kind of my long answer. Ryan of man I don't even know. You asked about what's come in the event and then somehow I ramble. I always do that and get off on tangents. Serena, save me.
Speaker 2:You know Leeds also, forgetting to mention that. You know he does the giveaways month, and two per each panda you hold for each red panda, you hold for each bamboo you hold if you're sad. He also then went into. If you're a 3D holder and I'm just guessing there'll probably something for the panic hubs. I can't speak for them, but you know he's a giver and a free vacation is able to be one in the discord. I mean, I don't know if there's anyone out there who doesn't know about this project, if you don't, where you've been hiding. But you know Lane gives back in so many different ways and I'm so glad you mentioned the book. He gave us a little couple samples in the discord of his writing.
Speaker 2:And let me tell you, guys, you are in for a treat if you have not had the opportunity to read what Lane has put together for the children's books. It's absolutely amazing. I love your imagination. You know, ramble on whenever you want to, because I love to hear you speak, and when you're starting to talk from, you know, the point of view of the pandas, I can see where you're. And kudos to him. 16 years old telling you no. Well, put on the brakes. This is how it's going to be done. That is amazing because you know, I think about a couple of the stories that you did tell and it was from, like, the kids point of view, when you, you know, shared a few of the stories and I absolutely agree, you definitely got to get those panda babies out before you get those books out.
Speaker 2:But I just want to compliment you on your writing style. You're very eloquent with how you speak, but you've done it in such a way that you can tell you have the imagination of a child and I just I love it, I adore you and it shines with how you are here with your community. But you show it every time. You share a video with your family, with your kids, and I mean you created a legacy, right, this is for your family, this is something that you said is not going anywhere, and you say you hope your kids are going to take over. Come on, they don't really are. Look at the videos that you've had your kids record already. They are naturals, they are stars, and then, just, you've just created something so very, very special. Thank you, lane.
Speaker 4:Oh, thank you, Serena. That was so sweet of you. Thank you so much. I think they are the real bosses. Anyways, At the end of the day, they yeah, they're already my boss.
Speaker 3:Hey brother, I promise this is the last time I interrupt. It's just you guys keep touching on such powerful things that I really just wanted to reiterate something you just said. I understand that the NFT world a lot of people they're like, well, nfts are the base how do I want to save this product of what we're all trying to do? But that's not the case and I love that. You understand that. We have to be able to realize we have to build sustainable businesses and in order to do that you have to have product right and we have to learn that Web 3 is a beautiful place and the technology that's being built is remarkable, but in order to onboard the masses we need tangible assets If we want to onboard grandma, grandpa, mom, dad, so on and so forth. They are the type of generation that want to see something they can actually hold, that holds real world value. But the NFT part brings us together as a community and I love that you've been able to tackle both aspects of this industry, brother, and that's just so powerful and I really hope that the audience understands that real world assets is the catalyst to mass adoption and Lane has absolutely been able to not only dominate in that, but do it in such a humble and graceful way that it's beautiful to see the growth of this ecosystem.
Speaker 3:Brother and again, I promise this is the last time I say anything. I hate to hog the mic, but one last shout out. I really want to give out there. I didn't see my brother buzz out there. Buzz, I love you from the bottom of my heart and soul, bro. You've been rocking with me for years now and I love you, my man, and again, I just love you all. I get so excited when I see my family.
Speaker 4:I love that, bro. Yeah, shout out to Buzz. He's been. He's always showing love on on the timeline. I appreciate that. Thanks so much, buzz. And if I remember correctly, that was another one of Conquest's Interactions. Right, conquest, you're always telling everyone about the love.
Speaker 5:I'm all way bro. You know me, I do this 24 seven. It's just not on here, it's on Instagram, it's on Facebook. Yeah, like I say brah, I'm getting messages right now like damn brah. I really hate I didn't get to man like, but I'm gonna do a giveaway eventually oh yeah, I'll all as well probably start picking some up and gifting some out.
Speaker 4:I gotta, gotta get a little action going on. That panda cub, uh floor, I just I'm just kind of blown away. People are holding on to him. So, if you've got a chance, put out some offers. And man, we've got some cuties here. I'm just really excited to see how this, this experiment, goes with these hold offers. So, you know, in in this nft space, you, I'd be lying if I if I didn't say I experiment every now and then. And these little real life products that we're doing, um, I, I think it's a great little Deal. You know, you hang on to him, you get a physical product.
Speaker 4:It's kind of, uh, I kind of try to put together stuff that, as a consumer, I would participate in and enjoy. And it's like, man, yeah, I'll pick up a few of these to to get some real life products. And at the end of the day, I've been really battling with man Am I adding enough value to these panda cubs? I always catch myself and it's like whoa, whoa, whoa, hold off, hold off. Like you can't give them too much value, like the, you'll take away value from the other nfts. And so, man, we've got, we've got, uh, you've got a, you've got a founder here that I you have to Tell me to stop sometimes, because I I wanted to kind of wrap the panda cubs into everything to give you guys, but I, I separated, I think. I think it's a pretty good separation, where the panda cubs you'll have access to these poker games and they have their own little perks within themselves and opportunities and, and, yep, serena, just like you said you had to, you had to read my mind again. Of course I'm gonna Put together a channel for panda cubs giveaways. We've gots too. I mean, that's that it would just Not seem right, does not have a channel for panda cubs giveaways. We've got the panda giveaways, the red panda giveaways, and you guys, if you don't know what she's talking about, hop into our, our discord.
Speaker 4:If you scroll down right below the chats, you've got the giveaways category and there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten channels there and over a thousand bucks going out tonight, a free vacation with airfare going out tonight. This happens every month, you guys, and I know not everybody wins and some people are repeat winners and I'm sure there's some holders out there that are like, when is it my time? But, man, those giveaways, the bots seem to do a pretty good job of giving everyone a pretty fair shake. Just stick around, and I'm excited Hopefully, for all of you to win a free vacation with airfare and it's. It's a tremendous marketing Opportunity for the the project as well, because when you guys are out there posting about your vacation, man, I remember when Dap posted a vacation picture and he drew pandemania in the sand, it was just like oh, oh, worth it, amazing. You know what I mean? It's it my business, hat on. At that moment, as a friend, I'm just like yes, but as a businessman also, I'm just like that's, this is great marketing also, and so I really love the the vacation giveaway. I hope you all get to win that at some point.
Speaker 4:We've had some really awesome vacation moments from our community. I got to give a shout out to my best buddy, brian jones. He grew up across the street from me. I got him into nfts, got him into the project. He took his then girlfriend to the dominican republic and on a pandemania vacation he Proposed, and they are now married. We have a successful Marriage that came out of the pandemania community. Okay, I can't take complete. I can't take credit for that. They met at work their nurses together and they fell in love of long before that. But hey, the pandemania vacation definitely helped. So, yeah, take a look at those, those giveaways.
Speaker 4:And Outside of the giveaways, you guys all have a free vacation every year. Just look at the fine print on that. Hop in a ticket, ask me what's up. If you just want the details from me, we've got awesome opportunities there. Even if you're not winning, you can. You can really make out like a bandit with that travel uh perk and membership and my friends. Like I told you, I Don't want to keep you all morning here. I am just so Thankful to you guys for coming by today. It means the world to me and this is just, you know, a kickoff. We we don't need to party all morning. We're gonna be partying all year. We've got weeks ahead of us. We've got a lot of spaces ahead of us. We'll be doing lots of giveaways and excitement to to drive more attention to these panda cubs, but I am just really excited that we've had a successful kickoff party.
Speaker 4:I I can't tell you guys, you know how nervous I was going into this smart contract phase. I was kind of nervous all year, to be honest. I've been saying 2023, panda cubs dropping 2023 for almost a year straight and it was really nerve-wracking, man. And to top it all off, the the site that I was going to use, uh, had a complete meltdown and their, their templates and contracts, uh, got affected. And it was really one of those silver lining things where it was like, man, am I waiting too long for this? Panda cubs drop Uh and I. It just never felt like the right timing and I was feeling out the market.
Speaker 4:And then the site that I was going to use. If I would have used that, we would have had corrupt Collections. They they would have been for naught. They would have been, you know, none of those collections that people were building on that site. And there were a lot like big name collections too. They had to read, they had to migrate their collections to new ones. It cost a lot of money and it was a big mess. And so you know I'm not saying I I believe everything happens for a reason or anything, but gosh that we got lucky and it was tremendous timing and just how everything has worked out.
Speaker 4:I'm just really, really thankful and To to end the year this way to go into new year's eve. I know maybe for some of you you're in locations where it's the new year, it's morning. Here on new year's eve for me, we've had a successful air drop and mint. Oh man, I it's just kind of I've got a big, you can take a big breath of fresh air and you know, have confidence that when we do the red panda, cubs man, I'm so confident I could do that today. I could drop those today if I wanted to.
Speaker 4:I love doing this dev work, I'm really confident with it and that's that's a big boost for me personally and I hope for you guys too, because I know for the longest time You've had to deal with me apologizing to people on spaces saying, okay, we're, we have manually uploaded NFTs and I don't know what I'm doing. So I did, that's done, that's over. So we're running full speed here. You've got a dev that knows what he's doing. All I have to do now is, uh, educate my children, make sure they Know how to do it. So if I die, you got a fully functioning team here.
Speaker 4:I do think about that. Oh man, I just went. I went to dark mode. I'm sorry, but no, you know, you got to think about life insurance, writing your will. You got to think about that stuff, I guess. Okay, my friends, I'm gonna set up a An x picker here.
Speaker 4:I'm getting a little nervous. I I was nervous for the mint and the, but I'm almost more nervous here for the giveaway. Because, I'll be honest, here I was thinking, okay, a thousand bucks, that means just one person is gonna win and that's like awesome for that one person, but, like everyone else is gonna be like damn it, I didn't win, and it creates People that are bummed. But I want a lot of people here at the space because we're celebrating and I want to get some eyeballs, but I want more people to ah. So you guys have to understand this isn't easy for me to pick just one winner of a big prize.
Speaker 4:I look at our discord. I pick lots of winners every month. It makes it easier Because I love, I love, uh when someone wins. But that also means that a lot of people didn't win, so I apologize ahead of time. But the the one person who takes it. I, I'm super psyched and I know, uh, whoever wins, I'm hoping, cross and fingers they they will do something amazing with it and good with it and we've got Just great people in this community that the ad and don't take, so that's how I can feel good about this. So, before I get this set up, my friends, uh, do you guys have any final thoughts you'd like to to End the space with? I always do this at the end of spaces. I'm like all right, who's got some final thoughts?
Speaker 8:Yeah, I'm playing. I will definitely say some kind words real quick about this community. I just wanted to give you a real quick shout out, man, thank you for being here for everybody. Do it all that you do, supporting us the way that you feel suit, to make us all feel individually special within your project. And just so everybody knows we're coming into a new year and no better way than joining a new community, the community that is out here to move each other forward, help each other, lift each other up and make sure that we're all protected in so many different ways.
Speaker 8:So here's to 2023, moving into 2024, special times coming, a bunch of new implementations to the projects that are coming. Do yourself a favor and do us all a self a favor and be, be a part of it. Come join us, come hang out, come join the book clubs. Every Monday and Wednesday nights we're uh, we're going to be shifting over to a financial book this time.

So Lane back to you and everybody much love.
Speaker 4:Thank you, ryan, I appreciate that and, uh, yeah, this next round of book club should be good. I I'm uh, just excited about the book club. You guys all know what a book dork I am, uh, but the book club really is great, you guys, if, if you Uh hop into those spaces, especially if you're following along with the books that we're reading. But We've had the tremendous opportunity to have authors of the books on the spaces with us. It is so cool.
Speaker 4:Uh, we've read some different fictional novels recently, some psychological, thriller type books, some. You know, there was a horror Genre book that we read, just really, really fun, different from the, the self-help like ryan was saying. But we had the authors on with us. We had zander and edward. Uh, and shout out to edward uh, he, I was hoping edward would be here today, but shout out to him Uh, you guys got to check out his books. We've got them for Uh, reimbursement in our health and fitness channel claim. So, yeah, we've got all sorts of stuff, even even scary books. That sounds so random, but if you, if you look into what the book club is and what we've done, uh, yeah, we've. We've really had a great time with that, so I'm excited for that next round as well. Conquest, go ahead, my friend.

Yes, but we might not get to hear from her. I'm guessing she might be excited. I'm hoping so. You think? All right.
Speaker 2:Fred. Oh my God, I definitely tagged her in my post about the space. She was my first tag in my post. She's a connection of mine through the Fame Ladies and I'm just thrilled. I'm absolutely thrilled that she was able to make the space, that she was able to win this incredible prize today, and what a way to end the year right. Thanks, sassi.
Speaker 4:Big congrats, and yes, I am. I should have done this at the very beginning, but I did scroll through and I found their response. They did tag three. And look, this is why I recognize her name, because I responded to her comment. She said oh, they're cute.
Speaker 4:I bought a Pandemania before wish. I didn't sell, and she has the little emoji here with the eke face. And I said, oh shoot, it's okay, you can always buy another. And so that's why I remember responding to Sassi and that's it. So yeah, sassi, you followed all the rules. This is so exciting. I'm really glad that you were honest about that. That is in no way. I'm not sharing that information like saying, oh man, I wish you didn't. That's a really fun comment. Thank you for saying that. So I think I even retweeted that. Yep, I did so, sassi, congratulations. That's fun. I'm glad that you won. Maybe you can buy back into Pandemania now. How exciting. And hey, no pressure at all. You can do anything you want with that money.
Speaker 4:All right, my friends, with that being said, we've got a Panda Cubs floor that is going to start to see some movement. It's going to start to see some more offers. We'll see what happens. I'll continue to push the Panda Poker on January 31st. Again, if you have not registered, go in and register at hihubepokerxyz and we'll have an awesome poker tournament at the end of January. And keep an eye out for the giveaways. I will create a new channel for the Panda Cubs and I'll put a giveaway in there. The giveaways are ending tonight. So we're going to have our official first Panda Cubs giveaway and everything, and so keep an eye out for that. I will be posting that up here in the next couple hours in the Discord.
Speaker 4:And make sure that you get your roles re-verified. I told you in an announcement I've made a few announcements recently, so if you missed that, we did have some complications with Collabland. I had to reorganize some of the TGRs which give you the roles, and so it's all fixed now Make sure you re-verify your roles and then make sure you go in and check each giveaway to make sure you've entered, because I don't know if you lose your role, if it takes your giveaway entry away if you already entered. So make sure you go and get those giveaway entries in again and we'll have a brand new one for the Cubs, and I am just so excited, you guys. This is a brand new chapter for us. I'm excited to be confident as a dev. I can get the original collections on smart contracts and we're all grown up now, you guys. I just am really excited. So thank you from the bottom of my heart and let's just roll into 2024 with some excitement and energy and motivation and confidence. I can't think of a better way to end the year.
Speaker 4:As a community and you guys I know all of you have your own endeavors. I want you all to know I'm so stoked on everything you guys all have going on. I want to be a better supporter. I am so wrapped up in my own project that sometimes I am not the best supporter of your stuff going on, and I just always want to make that a priority as well. So I see all of you guys making moves, and that's what this is all about as well.
Speaker 4:Community, it's not just the Panda community. We're people too, and just people being people. We've got our own stuff outside of this project. I am just so proud of you guys and so proud of us and my friendship with each other. I'm really proud to call a lot of you guys friends. I haven't hugged you or seen you face to face, but I know a lot of you really well and I can't wait to meet you face to face, and so it's really a tremendous opportunity.
Speaker 4:I think that we have as creative and intelligent people to be able to work like this together and to have ideas come out of this and creativity, to watch it be born and mold and transform into something new and beautiful. So I just want all of you, in your personal endeavors as well, to kick ass this year. I can't wait to watch all of you win. I love watching us win as a Panda fan, but, gosh, I want all of you to win in your personal endeavors and I'm rooting for all of you.
Speaker 4:I just think we've had a 2023, whether it's been good or bad, let's just go into 2024 with some confidence and kick some ass. I'm really excited for new opportunities, new goals, new atmospheres, new everything. But at the same time, we've got some awesome shit going on and there's not a lot of pressure to feel like we need to transform. I think we've got really great things going on and we can end this year feeling like, hey, we're doing all right and go into the next year with some goals, but not feel like you have to dig yourself out of any holes. That's a good feeling, and so a good mix of confidence with goal setting and, oh my gosh, what a great way here to end the space as well, my dear friend Sparky has made it. This is great. I'm starting to ramble again and Sparky saved me Sweet.
Speaker 2:Always good to see Sparky.
Speaker 4:Hi Sparky. Let's hear from Sparky before we wrap up the space. How are you, my friend? Good to have you.
Speaker 6:I'm good. I'm good. Been a crazy week. A lot of family stuff going on. We just got back in the in-laws, look yesterday, so we're just kind of unwinding today.
Speaker 6:Yeah, it's been a crazy year as well. So I was just listening to your little speech there talking about how we're going to end the year good and not have to dig ourselves out of holes and whatever, and I thought it was very poignant and a very good point to mention that if it weren't for DAP there, I wouldn't be digging myself out of a hole. So I just wanted to thank him again for everything that he's taught me and all the stuff that he's done for me, because I'm actually doing something now and making a difference with money and finances and I'm digging myself out of a hole somewhat. So it's been a good journey with that and I've seen some progress. So hopefully next year will be a great year for myself.
Speaker 6:But I apologize, I missed the mint. I was going to try and get some myself, but I know there was only like a hundred or so to grab. And dealing with the kid and building some of his Christmas gifts and things like that, because we didn't get to do them all before or after Christmas. So yeah, it's been, like I said, crazy time of year. I'm lucky I got to step away and actually chat for a minute.
Speaker 4:Me too, my friend. It wouldn't have felt complete without you, so I'm really glad you were able to make it. I want to thank you for thinking DAP. That was so sweet and I just love just like I was saying people helping people. Man, dap is such a good example of that. You too, sparky, you offer just great, great value in your ideas and your intelligence and your know-how and your willingness to take time and sit down with people and with me and brainstorm and whiteboard things out. Man, as a book club member, you're just an awesome addition to that as well. I don't think any of us would catch onto the storyline without a little Sparky help, and so I'm ecstatic also to hear that things with DAP are going well, and that just makes my day to hear that news as well, my friend. So thanks so much for stopping by and coming on up. Made my day, dap go ahead, my friend.
Speaker 10:Well, I have to say something now, don't I?
Speaker 4:Yeah, yeah yeah, no. I agree, I agree.
Speaker 10:I just wanted to say that that's cool what you said, but I can't recall anybody ever saying anything that nice to me, even in the real world. So I appreciate it, man.
Speaker 6:Well, it's one of those things, that there's tons and tons of people out there trying to scam, in a sense of I'm a financial guru or I can help you make this much money, or whatever, and I mean the stuff that you've taught me has actually made substantial amounts of money for me already. So I have people DMing them now, guys, it's not something that, like you know, everyone can hop on.
Speaker 10:I don't know anything.
Speaker 6:This helped me learn some skills that I have put into practice for myself, and now I'm making some gains. So it's not something that I think would work for everybody, but it's just. It's been a good run for myself.
Speaker 4:DAP. You got to set up some some price tiers now.
Speaker 10:Oh yeah, for people to, for me to pass on the knowledge. Yeah you got to thought about it. It's like you kind of feel, like Robin said for yourself.
Speaker 4:I love it. Well, my friends, what a great morning. I've just spoken too much. I apologize, but I just I'm a little overwhelmed with excitement. I've just been so excited that the airdrop went smooth. The mint went smooth this morning. I apologize to anybody that ran into the one and five minting issue. It looks I've gotten a couple DMs. A few people were able to mint six at once, so I'll check with manifold and see what that issue was for.
Speaker 4:The next time with the red panda cubs, keep an eye out. I'm eager to drop some sneak peeks. I just have to tell you the art I scrolling through these panda cubs. I really love the art. It's really fun. It's a little dark in a sense and I really like that. Like these little panda cubs are kind of mutant little crazies in a sense and they're wild and I just love it. Our artists really had a lot of fun and if you think these little guys are wild, just wait for the red panda cubs.
Speaker 4:I'm looking through my files right now at the red panda cubs and they are tremendous. You guys, we've got some traits in there that are just bonkers. I love how our artist has really let his creativity go. The first panda collection. I was very you know, very much giving him the ideas of the traits and as we've gotten to know each other better, I realized that he is very creative and fun and I just let him have at it and he has a little bit of a Halloween love. I can tell he loves Halloween stuff and so you start to see a little bit more of that throughout the collections. I know, dap, you got a pretty awesome like day of the dead type one. That's really pretty uniform throughout the traits. If you see some of these traits, there's a lot of that kind of zombies, snakes. I mean it's kind of fun and a little more dark. And it's kind of ironic because the panda cubs you'd think would be a little more lighthearted and innocent, but it's kind of reversed. So be prepared for the red panda cubs. They get even wilder. I'm excited and we'll have just a really good year.
Speaker 4:And you guys, remember, as you are making some offers on these panda cubs and looking through them, keep an eye out for those traits that are going to earn a legendary airdrop. All you have to do is keep the panda with the traits that has smile, so it's mouth smile, and then either of the Christmas hats, a green or red Christmas hat. There are 10 of those, 10 of those pandas that have that combination, and so there's 10 legendaries that are going to be airdropped to the holders excuse me, the 10 legendaries that will be airdropped to those holders of those pandas. So I'll make a post about it and I'll continue to kind of preach about it. But if you've got one, just hold on to it. You've got a future legendary coming your way and, as always, the legendaries will be fun and exciting and legendary.
Speaker 4:So keep an eye out for those and keep an eye out for any more. You know sweep offers and bounties and sweep contests. I'll start to have some fun and I just appreciate you guys for loving the collections and being a part of this. And, with that being said, my friends, I wish you the best of the rest of 2023. And I hope 2024 is just the best and I wish we could all be celebrating tonight. I'm sure there's going to be some New Year's spaces going on. Maybe we'll see each other out and about, but I'll be honest, I think I'm about to hit the ski hill with my son. I've got kids that are falling in love with the mountain and that is just so important and special to me, so I'm taking every opportunity I get when they want to go to the mountain. So, serena, oh yes, please go ahead.
Speaker 2:I just wanted to say when I tried to do the six, when I was trying to do the mint, I went, of course, to the Cubs and the first thing I did was I put my connect metal wallet and when I tried to collect on the plus and it didn't work, I just thought, huh, I'm just going to go and try to connect my wallet again. And sure enough it was. When I reconnected my wallet, that's when I was able to actually plus it and I got to give a shout out to Daco's Queen. She was instantly DMing me. She's all I tried requesting. She was waving frantically to tell everybody how to get the full six and one transaction. Connect your wallet first, then it lets you up the number.
Speaker 2:Do you keep that in mind for the next mint? Because you know we're all going to be on those Panda Cubs Like, oh my God, those I mean sort of the red Panda Cubs. I mean I saw the little sneak peek that you did in the discord of that. So don't forget, we've got a thread that's going show off those Panda Cubs. We want everybody to see these beautiful, wonderful creations and I love that they got a dark edge to them because you know what, why not? It was what you least expect. You think they're going to be all little sweet and cute and flowers, and you know, I just really think it's really awesome when you can sort of have that yin yang going on right. You would not expect the Panda Cub to be dark and it's really, really cool. I mean, everything in life is that right, there's good and there's bad and there's yin and there's yang. And you know, the space is that right, it's the bear and the bull. And you know, I've always liked to say to people the bear really brings out who is here for the long haul, who is here when things are down, who is here for you and always giving and you know just giving you help in so many different ways. Lane has done that for us and then some, you know giving when you don't know what's going on in anyone's life out there. I could tell when I first heard him starting to talk today. I think he's got a little bit of a sign to something or you know. But people are getting sick and what. He's getting out there to the ski soap with his children and here with us sharing these beautiful cubs. And if you haven't seen the video yet, make sure you do.
Speaker 2:Lane goes through all of the things that you can get if you're holding on to the cubs and that merchandise is top shelf. It's absolutely amazing. I have to say I'm really really like in love with that little puzzle. It's absolutely gorgeous. But I think the whole the wallets the key phrase wallet is absolutely in, you know, and a great idea too, and I mean, who doesn't want to have some more merch from Pandemania? Personally, I got my eye on that hoodie. Every time, lane, I throw that giveaway, I'm like hoodie, hoodie, hoodie Sound like a bird, pretty. Anyway. Thank you everyone for joining us. Always been a pleasure to be a part of this family. I've been just I mean, not even a whole year, and they're already two years old and we're just so much more good things to come. I'm really happy to hear that you're getting comfortable in those shoes as a dev. No one ever doubted you because when you take on anything, lane, you know anything is possible, because you're something special, lane, and we're really, really happy to have you.
Speaker 4:Oh well, I appreciate it. I've got to give a bunch of credit to Sparky, who has given me a bunch of motivation and inspiration to get some dev work proper with our project. So that was a big year for us and I really have a lot of anxiety relieved that it went off successfully. So thank you so much. I appreciate your confidence in me. I'm glad I came through.
Speaker 2:I have to give a big shout out to Sparky as well too, because you know he is the one who was all behind the fitness idea. And you know I mean, and I embraced it, I got right in there and I was like every single day like, yeah, and I'm like up in my goals, and you know I don't know how many of you know I broke my wrist. Just even typing was a chore and I mean, I know you're, you know you got the mic, you can use that. But just even keeping up with my fitness goals became a tough thing. I was six weeks in the cast and I'm still working on the muscles of my hand.
Speaker 2:And anyway, when I really first embraced the fitness program, I really took it to heart. I was really upping my goals and talking, and you know in my texts of my check ins, really laying out my goals every single day and staying true to it, and I have Sparky to thank for that. And then you know Lane did a giveaway where he wanted to give away, you know, the donkey kicks. Sparky won and he actually gave them to me to thank me for. You know just how wholeheartedly I embraced the whole fitness program and you know how I really like, just put my posts up there and really thoughtfully, you know, said this is my goals and this is what I'm doing and really, really felt and motivated because of the fitness program. And Sparky donated those kicks to me and I get to thank you vocally I have sent DMs and thanked him properly but to actually say to you here and now, sparky, thank you so much.
Speaker 2:You are a very awesome person who speaks your mind. I love that about you. It doesn't matter, you know, if it's a contrast to what you think. He speaks his mind and he calls out the wrongdoers out there too, while he's at it. And you know you're very inspirational to me, sparky, it's been a pleasure getting to know you this year and I'm so glad that you're part of this community and thank you for being my friend.
Speaker 6:You're welcome.
Speaker 4:Sparky thought he was going to be able to just sneak in and quietly, quietly listen today. Yeah Well, my friends, what a great, great day. I am just on top of the world. I really appreciate all of you. I really, really. I'm just going to continue rambling and saying, really, really, really, and if I don't stop so, I'm going to wrap this up. My friends, and from here into the next year, just enjoy the night, have a good relaxation night or party night, whatever it is for you, and then let's wake up tomorrow and kick ass. It's a new year, you guys. I'm really excited. 2020 has good vibes written all over it.
Speaker 4:I think we're heading into some better times, even though we've had great times, I think, as a Web 3 space, people are wising up, they're getting smarter and this space is going to continue to form and shape into something new every day. And I'm just feeling pretty confident about where it's going. And I know we've had lots of ups and downs and it's really exciting to think in 10 years what else is going to come and what this space will turn into. And in the late 90s, people were thinking that people would be shopping on the internet like they are now, but it just took about 20 years. It didn't happen overnight. And the internet phase of people ordering everything to their doorstep. It took just a little bit longer than people wanted to. But it's here now and people are DoorDash and everything and Ubering everywhere.
Speaker 4:And I really think in this Web 3 and NFT space. I know this might sound crazy. It might sound crazy because a lot of us have been here for years now. Two years seems like forever in this space and it's like, oh my gosh, we're not early anymore. We were early two years ago or five years ago. I think we are still very early, almost too early. I think we're in that phase of NFTs and Web 3 where we thought people would catch on. It might take 20 years, it might take 30 years, but I think we're just uncomfortably early and I think that's bullish. I think that's a bullish statement coming from me, because we're just positioning ourselves just right in the NFT space.
Speaker 4:But remember you guys, at the end of the day, this project is more than NFTs. That's just a really fun way to wrap in a membership and something amazing. At the end of the day, we're just going to continue doing easy business and bringing in some cash and donating to pandas and doing it for years and years to come and continuing to try to stay creative with it. So stick with us, you guys. I'm so happy to those that have and anybody new that's thinking about joining us. The Panda Cubs are a really, really great place to start.
Speaker 4:If you'd really like to dive in and enjoy the benefits that we have to offer, take a look at our OG collections and we've got just a lot of great options for you. So hop in the Discord, ask us any questions. I'll continue to organize information better. I know over the two years, we've gathered a lot of information and instructions and this, how to claim this, how to claim that. I'll continue to try to organize that best so that everything is really user-friendly and understandable and not like whoa, I didn't know about that. I'd like to make all the perks very, very easy to understand and no hidden perks or anything like that, because sometimes people are like, whoa, I didn't know, we get a free vacation every year and it's like, yeah, I need to explain things more and more frequently and remind people and just have everything laid out. So I'll continue to organize.
Speaker 4:But you guys, if you ever have any questions, please just hop into a ticket, whether it's conquest or CA or me. We've got people there to answer questions and even in general, we've got a lot of people in the project that know a lot about what's going on. If you have any questions, please, please, please, get started with us, even if it's just joining our Discord and being a part of the health and community program. Even as a non-holder, you can do daily logs, like Serena was talking about, and I give out Ethereum every now and then to people who are staying consistent with that. We've got a little play to earn game. I'm going to be more consistent with giving out money for those that are testing that, because we're rolling into another phase with the game, with the multiplayer. I'll have that to test for you soon. So, yeah, just get involved with us and there's some fun ways to get rewarded.
Speaker 4:But, more than anything, just stick around and be a part of what we have going on, because we really want to give back to Pandas and having as many people cheering and celebrating that and retweeting that and being a champion of really our root heart cause and mission is really really big and important. If you stick around, now that we have some Cubs and the entry point is a little lower again, I might get tempted to do more sweeps and do some giveaways. Those of you that lived through the early days, a lot of you were given giveaway Panda NFTs and Red Panda NFTs, bamboo Buddies I think we might be at a NFT giving point with these Cubs here, got a bunch of them, and it depends if I can get them from you, though you guys are listing them kind of high and not taking any of these offers, so we'll see, though. I'm excited to get some giveaways going with these Panda Cubs, so keep an eye out for that. If you haven't joined us as a holder, I'm excited, and if you don't join us as a holder ever, that's okay. I just love having you a part of the community, and I've tried to set up a few things so that, even as a non-holder, you can still benefit and get rewarded and have a good time and feel good and make great friends.
Speaker 4:So there you go, you guys. That's my ending. That's it. I think I covered everything I wanted to. I love you guys so much. Thanks for the great morning and great party and great mint out. I know it was a free mint and just a few of them. But, man, I have never experienced a couple hundred NFTs at a time. That was huge. That was the biggest NFT movement I've ever experienced in my life. That and a couple thousand airdrops, that was really fun. So I'm really digging this smart contract stuff beyond. The lookout for some more smart contract stuff. We got a couple more drops this year, so that's also some motivation to pick up some of our OG NFTs is the Red Panda Cubs. It's going to be the same process. Those will be airdropped to holders. So get in as a holder, my friends. All right, sweet, yes, hi, brother.
Speaker 5:You all have a great day.
Speaker 2:Bye.
Speaker 4:You too brother, I will end the space with a little music. You guys can feel free to let yourselves out. This gives me a nice little wrap up. Let's me hop off the mic. Love you guys, have a great day and a happy new year.
Speaker 1:Happy new year. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 4:Happy new year. Much love everybody.
