Two Apes on A Pod: Muddy Mudwater Morning

A picture of a pumpkin that I grew. It's an amazing pumpkin. It's white. You're this thing. Can you believe this? I have a pumpkin patch in my front garden that just because the squirrels ate the pumpkins last year and spread the seeds around. And we had a big pumpkin patch, but only a couple of good pumpkins, but this is one of the best. And I purposely did not put anything next to it for scale because it is pretty small, but it looks pretty big in the picture. It gets expensive when you start buying color pumpkins. Yeah, man, I'm growing them myself. I'll go for you. You see that one? That's a pretty nice pumpkin right there. I've got a couple little minis right now, but it's past Halloween now. So I'm, there's only so much longer before this ground starts creeping up and whatever's growing is just going to be dead. So I think I'll have a couple more minis, but I have two or three decent sized ones. So this week you actually ripped your packs because that this week or last week, because you got a, you got one of the, one of the pretty good cards out of the pack that you ripped there. Prestige, right? Yeah. I mean, that's what is like point zero six chance to get one of those or something like that? Oh, really? No, I didn't know the odds on that. Yeah, I think that that, you know, that's a pretty good card there. Have you gotten to play it all? No, but this week is for me personally this week has just been brutal. And thankfully the one free day I did have. I did go with me with some other apes in New York City, which was pretty cool, but other than that, it's been a very busy week. Yeah, I've been down Hammert this week to be honest. And I did play like a game or two to the point where I know how to play. I think I know how to play, but I'm sure those people that actually know how to play that would show me that I don't know how to play. So I'm actually going to pin up a tutorial that I think Onyby had posted. And it gives a really good insight on how to play the game, what to do in the audio data. Playing online is fun. I have to say that I definitely would like to play in person and live so that you can really look at the board, look at your pieces, not your pieces, your cards, you have to really look. That's the one thing I'm trying to see here is when you start connecting on multiple sides, who wins? That's the one piece that I couldn't really figure out. It's supposed to be good. I heard that there's going to be a thing coming up in New York I think actually this weekend, like a little how to play, a little game play thing for apes. There is a lot of talking to New York, Gabe Chat about where they're setting up. Last I looked, I guess it's been a busy week, they were definitely, a couple people were checking out different venues so they're definitely looking to do something on the seventh. We've talked about a lot. I personally can't make it. I'm going to Vegas. So crazy to say it's thanks I'm going to Vegas, right? But I won't be here. And then maybe something on the 12th as well. But go call MJV, they are working on something. Are you playing MJV? I'm sort of a misstep before I got in here. Have you been playing? Have you been online or physical? Negative and negative. I do feel the physical is hard to play, right? Because you have to rip your stuff open to play physically right now. So I feel you on that. Yeah, I think the deck requirements for being able to play a real game right now, I don't think even in the digital realm, which I've been since everything started, I just been picking up cards because I just trying to make a set. And it's really hard for me to unlock and open anything. If I rip that one, that plastic off that box and rip, so I'm going to rip one pack. That's it. I'm done. The whole box can be ripped. And I really do want to keep a sealed box. But the digital packs I ripped one and I videoted it so I can watch it so I don't have to keep ripping. But I am going to rip a pack today. But yeah, there are specific deck requirements. But so I think in order to actually play once we really get into these tournaments, you have to spend a couple bucks to have a tournament level deck. I think we just brought up 4, 5, 6. How you doing, man? Champs GM. GM, happy Halloween, y'all. All good. Just enjoying some coffee here, trying to fucking get my voice back still from 8Festa. Is she what she was insane? Yes, indeed. Drinking some coffee, too. I got a special coffee that's called Wicked in the Neighbors that has extra caffeine in it. But let me ask you about your 8Festa experience because what's really interesting about 8Festa is everybody had their own little journeys. And there were so many different things to do. And I think I stated one other time that the only complaint I had, there was too much to do. We were trying to get to all everything. And then there was a couple of events that I came. I can't believe I missed that. Specifically being able to purchase some additional boxes at the pop-up on the last day. But what day did you come in? And was your 8Festa experience, man? Holy shit, Champ. That shit was the best time of my life, truly. What the fuck? I took a red eye from Vegas Wednesday night. I flew out, got to New Orleans at 7AM, had a little layover there. And then flew in the Charleston about 11AM on Thursday. The homie bucked up, met me at the airport, boomy wedding, got some food, instantly connected with apes at the restaurants. And then walked over here just showing. And went to board the basketball, which was incredible. Boom. Then went to a waffle house. Dude, I didn't really know what to expect. This was my first 8Festa. I got my mutants last year when everyone was at fucking in Vegas having the fucking time of their life. And like, fuck that shit. I'm never missing another fucking 8Festa. So yeah, bro. Just connecting with everybody, just fucking meeting everybody, champ the vibe, glory, and maculate. All champions. I'll continue to say that, bro. It was the best time ever. Really, there's no fucking words. You have to fucking experience that shit. Words don't do justice, truly. Dude, tell me about the bowling event, right? So I didn't come in until Friday, Mr. Bowling, Mr. Waffle House. So what was going on to bowling, man? What was the scene? We were at Ashley Wains in Charleston. There's hundreds of apes, bro. Everyone just coming into town, the homies that were already there. Just fucking apetake over here. Fucking bar was cracking white Russians were flowing. Maybe it was fucking awesome, dude. I threw a strike in that I was so preoccupied. I kind of rung my team, unfortunately. You just fucking walk around meeting everybody and fucking chill and chill. It was great. Was the bowling alley, like sometimes, I haven't been to a bowling alley in a long time, right? But I remember there was like a different, like, switch they would turn, right? And then at night time, the bowling alley was different, man. It was more hip and cold. And they was like tournament style bowling. Were people again competitive? Because I know in some of the other events, we had ape balls. We had the ape games. And we saw a lot of competitivity. Or that's not even a word. But we saw people, the competitive spirit come out in the apes. Did we see that in bowling? Did we have any real good bowlers? Any turkeys? Oh, if I wasn't that clucked into the actual game, bro. I don't think they did like the Astro or Cosmic Bowling, whatever. There's a sea of apes, champ, the whole fucking bowling alley. There's a big ass place inside and outside. Just packed, bro. It was crazy. OK, that sounds good, man. What about being first, man? You made it to, you made it out to people's or what? Or did you do it? Besides, that was day one right there. We just went through. You hit eight balls the next day. Did we run into each other? I think maybe actually where you want, Carp's team? No, I was just bucked up. But we were definitely at eight balls right and early. That was one of my favorite events, bro. That shit was fucking so much fun. My windstorm, you know, you had to be very strategic. We played Mr. and Mrs. Dave Vegas first. That was a great match. And then eight fest was fucking next level, bro. Wow, there's. Wow, there's fucking crazy, dude. Eight balls was fun. McFly was keeping it moving. I mean, without him on the, on the, on the mic, man. Everywhere we went, he was, he was keeping the parties going and making sure that things were moving along. So I don't know where he is now, but we'll definitely shout him out. Eight balls was definitely a fun fun event. I, I was not signed up to play, but wound up into a team. And we did win the first round. And the second round, it got, it got, it got real competitive to the end. And we wound up losing. It was upsetting. It was crushed. But I'll help make it, you know, there's always next year. Yeah, that was a sick event. I really hope to bring that back next year for sure. I'd say we probably met him, Bobby, when we were doing the bracelets for eight balls. And or just figure out the teams in the very beginning. I learned a lot of handles that day. Very true. Yes. The bracelets were very important. Needed to sort the apes. So 456, where are you at with mudwater? Did you open anything, going to open anything? Oh, goodness. Yes, I opened both my boxes, bro. Fuck. So I got one box at the ape fast, right? And then, um, but I was to me, dude, I didn't know people was going to be just hanging out the whole fucking time. Like, I had no clue. So I saw him. I'm like, oh shit, is this my only fucking opportunity? One of the homies that give me a people every day card in the Sharpie at the ape balls event. He's like, he's like, he's see people get him to sign this shit. So like, oh, fuck, there he is. Boom. I set my bag down with my drink. Get him to sign my card, turn around. Someone sniped my fucking bag. Say, what the fuck? What the fuck? I don't know. Boom. OK, that's the L. I was able to get a box at the pop up the next morning and got it signed by people. And then got home and like, fuck. I mean, dude, that shit's hard to fucking hold. I went to fuck and like, something six got to be in there. So I ripped that shit. No legendaries, a bunch of four stars, prestigious. And then I had snipe to one off of eBay right before the price is kind of doubled. And I ripped that one yesterday morning live on an X-Base. And I pulled a good boy Gary Legendary, got the Snoop card, got the skeleton key. Yeah. And now I need to figure out the fuck to get more fucking metal boxers champs. Let's go. I feel like, I know Bobby mentioned it. I just the pop up wasn't in our time frame because we had gone to ape games, but 100%. It's not the box, me personally. It's a sold personal opinion. The box isn't what I regret not getting what I got. It's either having him touch up a card or have him doodle or draw whatever on the poster with the autograph. To me, that was my biggest miss, I guess. But it is what it is. I saw the blast. I'm not going to complain. Shout out to everyone who got a graph or a little doodle. It's a lucky S.O.B. I saw at the Waka Flaka event people showed up and he was drawn on one of those mud water, mutant, not mud water, mutant infusion drinks. And it looked like, I'm like, did you just draw a cock and balls on that? And he was like, no, what are you crazy? And I'm like, come on, that's all you do. We've draw a cock and balls on things. What am I crazy? It didn't actually look like a can. You know how it had, I don't know if everyone saw it, but it had two pieces. And I guess you cracked one piece into the other. It's like, maybe black and tan or something like that. But yeah, I'm like, what are you crazy? It was interesting that people was just everywhere that we were through that whole weekend. And I think the first night when we went to poker, it was like, yeah, that's people right then. And then after that, he was just showing up everywhere. He wasn't getting crowded. People weren't really killing him. People getting their autographs and getting them to do their doodles. But ultimately he was just chilling. And he was just around so much. It was pretty cool to see him do that. Should we not be using his own doodles?
