You are not going to believe this story the Wall St Fam Dads are going to tell you.

Welcome, esteemed audience. At the beginning of this year (early January), we at Wall St Fam presented a unique opportunity to hodlrs in our community.

It was the opportunity for them to gather around and share interesting stories about themselves, their tokens, and ambitions for the future. We even made it into a contest to raise the stakes.

This sharing of stories has been dubbed, and will hereon be referred to as, Wall St Fam Lore.

The introduction of the Dads spiraled into what has to be one of the wildest adventures in the history of NFTs.

In short, the group of extraordinary Dads found themselves as winners of tickets to Super Bowl LVI (that’s the SB that just happened for the uninitiated) and thereafter found themselves on a journey to the historical sport ball competition.

Not without a few hijinks along the way of course.

The gentlemen chronicled this trip, of their travels across the land far and wide, to Los Angeles, California.

The series of events will be highlighted in the next four posts. And today, we’ll start things off with an introduction of the Dads involved.

These are their stories.

Enter the Dads

Michael. The Construction Worker. (@RazvanEncuna).

Michael works at a construction site on Crypto Hills, building an apartment building for a company called, coincidentally, Wall Street Dads.

Darius. The Pill-Popping Video Game Warrior. (@NzlTooQuick)

Darius once stole a ruby eye from the tomb of Tutankhamun [King Tut]. Funny thing is he stole it in 1897. The tomb wasn’t found until 1922. He didn’t even know how he’d got it. He just blacked out and woke up with this little gem. He’s never been to Egypt . . .

Nico. The Gem Miner. (@Numark59)

Nico just completed a gem-mining mission in an undisclosed country. And now finds himself caught up in what will turn out to be a historic page-turner.

Cash Daddy. The Pig & Ape Fighter. (@thevoiceofcash)

Cash is a bloke who’s turned his life around. . . for the better. From a booze guzzling degenerate to now a fearless cage fighter scrapping against wild blockchain apes and pigs. His vision is a question he posed to himself during his transformation, “what if I started to care about myself and start a family?”

[The Talented Mr.] Doofy. Horror Film Incarnate. (@RustyK64279266)

Doofy is a Dad & donut industry tycoon who’s funded his success with a . . . checkered past. One that, surprisingly, hasn’t landed him in prison yet. Specifically, he went on a murder spree in 2000 living out scenes in scary movies. Got away with it all (somehow). And wed his accomplice Gail, a news reporter.

Lenny. Certified Lover Boy. (@mitchellsnfts)

Lenny just returned from a daring trip to find his beloved wife. The pearliest pearl in the world. He’s now found himself stranded on a deserted, unfamiliar island. The bright side is he remembered to bring water in a spill-free container!

Diaper Master. The Dad on a Mission. (@DM_NFT_2022)

Diaper Master prefers to use this quote to sum up his life’s work: “I hope there is another way but I gotta dive across the Pacific Ocean to deliver these 3 sacred clues to the other 3 Horsemen and bring along your brother Dylan. Please don’t grow up to be a crook like me, Salva.” — Lionel Shrike

Garrison. Thanos if he had a black card. (@Peter41850615)

Meet Garrison. It may not be obvious, but he’s made it. He looks down on the rest of the world wielding the all-powerful black card! One day he cut off his man-bun and established the new look of dominance. His backhand may be weak but his bank account is strong!

NFTY Rick. The Diamond-Handed SpaceX Employee. (@RickNFTy1)

In another lifetime, Rick would’ve been a menace on Wall Street. By day, he works on top secret projects at SpaceX. By night, he checks his portfolio to see if he’s down on $GME, drives his Miata to the liquor store for JD, gets home, smashes the bottle, and doubles down. And yells “screw the hedgies!” to the world.

Rajesh. The Monk. (@8hav1n)

After dealing with muggle stresses and living in his wife’s bf’s basement through the pandemic, Rajesh decided to give up all material possessions (as if he has any), and move to Bali! He is currently thriving with a tribe of apes surviving on chicken and bananas.

Trey. Fantasy Football Champ. (@NickPotts_)

Trey won the Wall St Fam secret fantasy football league (that’s a mouthful), with his main QB, Joe Burrow of the Cincinnati Bengals. When he’s not stacking bills from winning leagues, he’s changing diapers. His son’s name is “Trey Too”. The sleep mask he wears is to block out the haters.

Handsome Jack. The Dad of a Different Era. (@radarracecar)

Handsome Jack prefers to trek the flatlands of the Serengetti sporting his true body armor. His “au natural” dad bod. All in full display for the world to see. That mid-day sun does a number on him, so this look also has practical reasons too.

DJ Kringle. Cookie Slayer. (@BrandonDesilet1)

Christmas has come and gone, but it’s all part of the way Santa “slays”. His favorite things are free cookies and protein shakes. Why? Because gains bro. That’s why. No, he’s not a pilot. He just wears the hat because, “I stay fly, baby.”

Jonathan. No Nicknames. (@TRaacK_NFT)

Meet Jonathan. Not Jon, not John (with an h), not Jonny. Jonathan. Jonathan’s wife is the Managing Partner at a successful law firm in his city.

Rafael Grosjean. Aka Gus, but he prefers the former. (@misterhappy48)

He’s infamously made a name for himself on the Vegas blackjack tables. He taught his 2 sons to count cards at an early age before exploiting the casinos with them once they turned 21 (I think the pun is intended here). True genius.

APE DAD. Yes, in all caps. (@NFTpolaroider)

APE DAD is being profiled as DAD of the year. He’s currently on set, but that doesn’t stop him from tackling his fatherly duties. Always ready and set to be the next movie star only if APE BABY can come.

Jack Di Lorio. Anthony’s Cousin. (@JLBALL3)

He retired early in Maine after selling his shares in Jaxx (so he’s rich now and has a ton of time). Jack has just started a Youtube channel where cycling & fishing are kings. Subscribe, folks! Jack would love to visit France during le Tour next summer.

Owen. Cool Guy. (@CaptainXsells)

He has a day job with the INS. It pays ok. It lets him have weekends free for his true callings: underground DJ and soft drugs aficionado. He can tell you facts about any damn terpene, and is obsessed with proving “Rule 34” is real. DJ name: Guru 3401.

Mike. Birthday Boy. (@gdubcrypto)

Mike’s birthday was yesterday (and he says this all the time. So we’re unsure when his birthday really is. Hence the apt nickname). While he would have loved to have been at home celebrating with his family, this day he had bigger responsibilities. You see, Mike is an experimental rocket test pilot at the SpaceX Boca Chica facility.

Bud. The High School Stud That Cashed In. (@LexiTalionis1)

Bud is the best #SAHD around! High School hunk, hockey star and class clown. He scored the pretty nerd girl that played the stock market perfectly. They have 4 kids, a timeshare, and a chimp Bud “rescued” from an abusive rival hockey team.

Esteban (@Michael31188772)

Esteban is a Swedish crypto investor who drastically changed his life. Within 2 short years, Esteban went from being a purpose-less 12 year old boy aimlessly riding around the neighborhood to this hunk of a Wall St Dad.

Bath Roulette. Not sure if this is his name. (@Enfrogged)

Bath roulette is a shower-based game (guess it’s not his name) where you try to throw your kids rubber duck straight into man’s most used roulette table, the toilet. Your kids’ bath time will never smell the same! Warning: Tendies & Co is not liable for shi**y traumas.

That rounds up the group. It certainly is a motley crew, to say the least. Anyways, this rambunctious bunch of extraordinary gentlemen have quite a bit in store for them.

How do they even get to the Superbowl? Will Doofy finally get caught? Is Lenny ever going to find his way off the island?

These are all questions that will be answered on the next episode of Dragon Ball . . . *cough* I mean Wall St Fam Lore.

Until next time.
