Adam Bomb Squad presents: BOMB TALK with Bobby Hundreds

During this recording - our sixth episode - of Bomb Talk, there were more than 4,000 people in the room listening at any given time. It’s not just because Gary Vee has a rabid fanbase, it’s because the topics he touched upon are urgent, important, and not talked about enough in the metaverse. We are all curious and excited by NFTs, but we also need to be careful and responsible with how we engage with the technology. Gary reminds us that most projects will fail, NFTs are a long game, and that many collectors will get this wrong. It’s a sobering, yet enlightening episode, that will teach you to have a deeper respect for this burgeoning phenomenon.

Note: Due to a technical error, our sponsors for the IRL Bomb Talk in New York with Baron Davis, Latasha, and Allen Hena failed to record the fifth episode, hence the jump from 4 to 6!

Adam Bomb Squad is the first NFT collectibles project backed by a fashion brand. But, what does it look like from the other side? A metaverse sneaker brand that goes from digital to physical? Bobby links up with 2 of the 3 founders of RTFKT, which is currently the leader when it comes to sneakers for the next reality. They are then joined by surprise guest, sneaker pioneer and streetwear designer Jeff Staple, who bridges both generations and realms. If you’re an enthusiast of sneakers, street fashion, culture and technology, this episode is for you.

On this episode of BOMB TALK, Bobby turns the spotlight on some of the boldest leaders in the NFT space: the founders behind the Deadfellaz and Ethereals projects. A very special guest also joins the crew, as movie star turned metaverse maven Reese Witherspoon takes a break from shooting her latest blockbuster to champion her favorite women creating NFTs.

Today’s Bomb Talk is about how Web3 can facilitate the Decentralization of Media. Many of us would agree that there is no more imperfect industry today than the media. There are a lot of reasons for this, but perhaps the most significant is that the news organizations are centralized, meaning they are powered by corporations with self-interests, motivated by profits. Our friends Farokh, Mel, and John Knopf have built a new NFT project called Rug Radio, which seeks to not only address - but upend - these ancient media systems. Keith Grossman also joins us, giving us his perspective on the matter as president of Time Magazine. Listen in...

When it comes to NFTs and Web3, the word “Community” is thrown around a lot. But, when I observe the landscape, we’re still in the nascent stages of subculture, where NFT projects and collectors are broken up into tribes, isolated from each other in their individual Discords. Tribalism is antithetical to Community. We also saw this in the early days of Streetwear, but collaborations between competing brands and designers bridged these networks and over time, established a fortified marketplace. Collaborations built trust amongst brands, and they instilled trust within the consumer. With The Hundreds and Adam Bomb Squad, collaborations between projects are one of our leading initiatives because we believe that a rising tide lifts all boats. And, we are genuinely fans of this burgeoning world around us. Today, we speak with Betty from Deadfellaz, Waheed from All Smilesss, and Steven from Brain Vomit, 3 NFT projects that we believe in - as friends, as creators, and as the future. This episode coincided with the release of physical clothing collaborations with all three guests. Listen in...
