Welcome Wednesday 🧁 by Welcome Apes 🍌

I'm really busy this week, last week as well. Definitely close to a pretty significant milestone for our little community initiative here. My head tonight, my head tomorrow, but I'll be on a lookout for a post about that probably tomorrow. And yeah, just man, it's been frigging busy. I've been known socials this week. Last week, we got record numbers of new people. We got record numbers of new apes joining the club. We got record numbers of old apes finding their grail and just like upgrading and showing like incredible conviction. It's been inspiring. It's been fun. And yeah, just kind of wake up every morning, look at the report. And I'm just like holy shit. What happened while I was sleeping. So, so yeah, it's been, it's been an awesome time for the club. And, and just yeah, busy welcoming apes. Now I can hear you, Dork. I was, I was a little worried that the roadcaster was shutting down, but we were good to go. Hopefully you guys heard my intro, heard the music and all that fun stuff. But, um, Marav, how are you doing today? Happy welcome Wednesday. Hey, hey, happy welcome Wednesday guys. It's good to be here. Just expecting a little baby ape any day now. Really any day now. Um, but yeah, doing good, doing good, excited for welcome apes. It's such a huge milestone that we're almost at. And just following the timeline, seeing how many great new apes we've been seeing. And yeah, it's exciting times. I'm, I'm definitely feeling like a renewed buzz around the club, around, you know, since ape fest, really. So it's awesome to see. Yes, I agree with you. There is certainly a buzz afoot, especially since ape fest. The last the week leading up to and these last few weeks afterwards. I mean, people are buying board apes to, you know, to upgrade from their mutants. Um, people are joining the club left and right. And I think that it's probably been one of our busiest, um, busiest months for welcome apes, welcoming people in a timeline. Uh, I don't know if we've, I don't know if we've done the official numbers for. October yet, but door, if you had a guess how many apes do you think that we welcomed in October? Uh, you know, that those exact metrics. I don't want to guess that what I can say. And I've looked at the numbers. Like the last two weeks has been one of our top five busiest two weeks of all time. We've been around since February. And we've been around for 24 and 24 and out of our top five busiest two week stints. Three of them have come under, you know, while figure was CEO. Um, one of them was when figure took the reins. One of them was during the first week of the Asia tour, where we just saw an incredible influx of. And we had a pack region and one of them is now where we have the mud water sort of reveal milestone post Charleston. Sort of seeing all these plus ones join the club and just have like this incredible experience. And yeah, so you know, those are, those are facts. So yeah, we are, we are really, really busy like really busy. I would say maybe maybe 60 65 new apes and that doesn't count like. All of the, um, and that was like a two week period. Basically the two weeks following like 10 16 to like around Halloween. I think that was that was like the numbers. That doesn't even count all the apes that are adding mutants to their family that doesn't account for all the mutants that are adding OGs to their family and finding like. And finding that forever growl. And so it's just, yeah, it's, it's an incredible amount. And volume and also just feels like people that are kind of like they've been looking at the club for a while or they've been in other. Communities and web three and just kind of coming to the realization like hey, the club. I have to have to have an eight, you know, I have to, if I'm in a web three, I have to have an eight. So that's just, you know, we're getting just the quality of members that we're getting is just like higher than it's ever been. And so yeah, it's, it's been an incredible, incredible two weeks. George speaking of quality members of the club, I feel like it now would probably be a good time to highlight our November ap of the month. And then kind of as we, as we go through that, it'll give time for people to come up here. I know we got, we got lost and spend and DJ basics PM in the house as well. But what do you guys think about starting off with the ap of the month and we could share a little bit about that and get into welcome Wednesday. Let's do it. Let's go for it. All right, prepare a little some ladies in gentlemen. It's time to highlight November. Members welcome ap of the month number 69. He hails from Detroit. His name shakes buildings. His aura lights up rooms. If you've been a fest, if you've been to eight parties, you've heard his name. You've met him. Ladies and gentlemen, ap of the month for November is such a mega phone off. I'm a little rusty on the on the roadcaster, but dude, essential is a club member that we've been wanting to put on for our ap of the month for some time. And I don't know. Do you want to you want to speak on this a little bit and then I'll go on with my part. Oh, yeah, for sure. Like I mean, yeah, the dude, the dude, he's like family. I mean, he's essential to the club. What can I say? I mean, it's, you know, he started. He's he's been cooking content forever. He's always been just like a positive beacon on the timeline. I never see him posting shit. I never see him posting. I never see him talking shit about other collections. I just see him focusing on the cool shit about being an ape. You know, whenever I get a chance to see him, you know, at eight facets, it's always just a fucking incredible vibe. Like he's always whipping up cool new shit for apes, like from, you know, the shirts this year for for the board, sports club. You know, hosting dinners, like, you know, leading leading IRL stuff with the Midwest apes there. I mean, just, just, he's been, he's been crushing it for for years for the yacht club. And like just absolutely one of my favorite homies, like just an easy another easy choice for the club for the eight of the month. I shouldn't say. And so, and so yeah, that was, that was an easy choice. I can't, I can't sing his praises highly enough, like one of my favorite dudes in the club. And so looking forward to the next time we get to we get to hang out. So congrats for what it's worth man. This is, there's, there's so many people that we want to give apes the month to, but we had to get, we had to get you as soon as possible. So congrats. I know for me personally, just like, essential is one of the guys in the community that's always made me feel at home. And it's just like I feel like he shows love, like if you're working on something and if he sees an ape behind it, he's there to support. What like no questions asked, he's just like shows up to support. And that's something that I've really learned to appreciate over the years because I show up and support a lot of people, right? And you know, maybe not everyone comes back to show love your way when it's when it's time, but you can always count on essential. Something I've also noticed is that his, his like eye for quality is top notch. Like when I saw him put out that shirt for all the apes for a pcess here, love the, I love the concept of that first off, but like just the way everything comes out, everything he puts out is super high quality. I think he is a great example for standards that should be set for for people in our community when they when they drop things and just the attention to detail on things and. Yes, very, very glad to have essential within the community and honored to showcase him as our November, April the month. Big congrats to the essential man, that guy is literally a center to the club. I think you just touched on a lot like he shows up the right way he's a fucking amazing mind, he's a genuine person when he shows up to support the club, he's doing it in multiple ways with his voice, with his talent, with his wallet, with his energy, and you know, we're super luckily, we're super lucky and blessed to have a central in the club. You know, it's he's been an incredible member. I love all of the amazing art he's done. He's done an amazing job, just bringing to life. Characters of the club of like, you know, whether it's through his Coda is as figgy Coda, hoodie that he gave out accomplished con or one of these newer releases that he's doing every time he drops them art like it's one. He's the content king if we're being honest, you guys see this guy's always nonstop rolling out gifts high quality renders of his ape, but then when it comes to like leaning into the community, he also does an amazing job bringing people's apes to life like personally, the style, the art style of the characters of the apes on his last drop is like, I love to see that like I can see a whole cartoon of that style and you know, we're just super blessed and likely lucky to have in the club, essential on top, baby. Essentials of the club, I like that, man. Thank you for. No, I'm pretty sure don't said that, but I did I don't want to take it, but yeah, he's essential to the club for sure. Somebody said it on me. I'm a repeated though forever. PM go for brother. I just wanted to say, oh, thank you. Thank you. I just wanted to say props to central a Detroit ape. I mean, have you guys met a bad Detroit ape yet? Come on now. Yeah, he does so much and had the honor of meeting him for the first time on the airplane on our way to LA for the mutant five year and stayed connected in the DMs. He got me out of all the groups when he figured out I was from Detroit and he's just been, you know, helping me out with things getting more involved with all the Midwest apes and and the woke up here in Michigan. So props to him and everything that he does. You know, have you ever seen the movie, the heavy metal parking lot or documentary? I have not. You got to check it out. It's a it's a rock inventory. That somebody made it's really sure it's not too long so you can watch it in like 30 minutes, but it's a documentary that someone made before a Judas pre show and in Detroit in the 80s. And some of the funniest show you'll ever see you check it out. It's on YouTube. I think heavy metal parking lot. But the yeah, shout out to Detroit and I have not met any apes from Detroit that that stink yet. So it must be something to have to do. It's essential man. He's putting it on for the apes over there. It's true man. The Detroit apes are crazy. Like I honestly never even thought about like, you know, I should go visit Detroit until like I met some of the apes from there. I'm just like damn. You'll make me want to go hang out in Detroit. And now I'm kind of beginning to learn. It's actually a pretty fire city. So yeah, I'm enough to make that trip sometimes for sure. Yeah, how are you when you do? That's what you know, I know a lot of people mentioned things like I couldn't I couldn't see myself going to Charleston. And I think that's one of the beauty. The magic of the board apioclub is that you're going to you're going to go to places that maybe you never thought you'd go to. And I think that's I think that's pretty sick to be able to just to experience things that you didn't plan for do new different things to get out of your shell. So you know Detroit might be on our bucket list for for next year. You never know. I mean, we think lost we get you think you think you think a best Detroit is lined up for in our cards for next year. Don't do that to me, bro. Don't do that. We got to Detroit natives right here. You're trying to get. A fast Alabama baby. See you there. G spots lurking. Don't say that. Be careful. How about we just take it up north. You know, South Carolina was cool, but let's take it to North Carolina. Do all of these places have a swamp? You need to have a swamp. I don't know guys 2028 2027. My bad is clubhouse here.
