GM mfers. In case some of you are unaware, a group of mfers-to-the-core have been developing, producing, and performing a 100% built-by-mfers web3 show on Twitter Spaces called 'Daddy Issues'. They are currently toward the latter part of Season 2, and pump out an hour of fun, fueled by FAFO, on a weekly basis.
Many of the people leading the charge in this DAO know all too well what it's like to try and scale a substantial project with IRL jobs, families, etc., but ultimately they gravitate toward 'the calling'. Now that this DAO is able to begin compensating contributors for their hard work, we all as a community get to benefit from those contributors being able to stick around and scale. In a similar light, if we as the mferbuilderDAO can provide some kindling for the spark that is Daddy Issues, who knows--maybe we could play a role in birthing the SNL of web3. I don't mean to hyperbolize, but I also don't think that statement is beyond the realm of possibility if the 'Daddy Issues' team were provided sufficient resources and support to scale.
This series is the first of its kind in this space [to my knowledge], and every week, the 'Daddy Issues' team spends countless hours writing, refining, rehearsing, recording, and editing, solely because of a shared belief that there is a diamond in the rough here.
I have no doubt that their resourceful and capable team will find a way to scale the show either way, because they relentlessly pursue excellence by nature. However, I see no better use of funds than mferbuilderDAO joining forces to provide ongoing support in a meaningful capacity.
There are several things I think would be worth allocating resources towards:
-Production (editing, VFX, clipping, music, etc.) -'Small nod' (at this point in time) compensation for core talent. -Visual animations. Example: Animate mfers along with the audio and make shareable and enjoyable mferish content. -Commissioned artwork that could be in turn auctioned to split funds between additional Daddy Issues funding and mferbuilderDAO.

***Here is the link to the most recent episode so you can see for yourself. (In my opinion, the potential is evident and undeniable):

***My Proposal: Sponsor 'Daddy Issues' production for 2-3 ETH, the final two episodes of Season 2. ***
-This proposal is meant as a jumping off point. It will enable us to test the waters and revisit prior to Season 3 launch (there are two episodes remaining in Season 2).
-I predict this will be enough of a gesture to inspire the team to put together a more specific breakdown of what could be achieved with future funding, etc., and perhaps offer multiple 'scenarios' based on level of investment.
-This show is the most mferish shit ever. The people involved are mfers who many of us know, love, and trust. I hope the DAO strongly considers taking this leap in solidarity with them. Thanks for your consideration.
