Matthew tries to catch Rizzle up on everything that's gone down in the interim starting with the most recent slate of airdrops, most notably including the Pudgy Penguin $pengu airdrop. Of course, OpenSea and their expected airdrop along with Nifty Island and other projects proposed airdrops came up and implications were discussed. Also, for the first time in MARS history, a secret segment may or may not have been added at the end of the episode (of a recording from the previous week that experienced some technical difficulties at the time) so keep those earballs open for that towards the end.
