Ep. 163 Premium - are you Ludwig? [VIDEO]

Comments

Nick is hot because of slightly messy hair and 5 o'clock shadow. Ez

A roughly human shaped pile of red flags

aiden confirming hes the only one who isnt socially insane lmaooo

Kevin Clavijo

They will never come to South Africa (much like Brazil) but if they ever did and I saw them, I would rather physically shit my pants on the spot than go up to them and say hi now. Also Aiden is the only one with an ounce of fucking logic in this debate, everybody else is smoking absolute penis and weed

JustQ

Aiden is just straight up right.

Terrah Dailey

This episode really proved that everyone but Aiden has brain worms when it comes to socially interacting and think that it’s deeper than what it actually is

Cm0n

pretty much lmaooo

Jeramy Hoar

Copy pasting what I replied to another user because I'm hyped after that restaurant bit. --- yo, I coincidentally looked at the subreddit today in search of DnD updates and you'll be pleased to know that Aimen has mentioned they recorded 3 episodes already... and that they were recording 3 more by the end of this week or so! He mentioned they needed a headstart of 6 episodes to launch. WE ARE CLOSE :)

David Duprez-Goulet

they played halo matchmaking on mcc?? they might’ve been playing with hackers, i know that mcc multiplayer has a hacking problem for a long while, at least they didn’t get banned via hacking

barcancelN

Aiden smoked Ludwig in the debate despite Ludwig doing his best to logicman him

Jacob

It’s funny they talked about meeting famous people for most of the episode. I was listening to this otw to work. The job I was doing was taking down a billboard music award set. So when I got there I was walking past people like Playboi Cart, Offset, Joey Badass and others. Did not know what the event was till I got there so wasn’t expecting that at all. Did not say Hi to anyone tho

dylan boyle

asking "are you x?" simply sets the dynamic for the interaction. If someone approaches you saying "ludwig?" you have 0 clue if that person is a fan, someone you met earlier, an old friend, etc. "are you?" isn't a tell that the person is a pokemon card collector, it simply is the default polite way of engaging the person they think they recognize. Believing that this person must not be that big a fan if they had to ask feels like a cynical tag you're adding onto the interaction out of having been approached so much in the past. Aimen is definitely right here.

thatmfdiego

Aiden reaffirms his position as best social skills on the pod

I'm Soraaa

God yes slime is 1000% the reason I call it X, the everything app any time I refer to it.

Jtag

rocky is NOT a horror movie unless your name is creed

Red Bossking

HOUSE MD MENTION AGAIN 🙏

Cosmo

listening to ludwig say “i’m gay & a champion“ on repeat to hype myself up for rocky horror tonight let's gooooooo

Cosmo

I think I’m gonna make my therapist watch all 163 episodes of this show, end with this premium, and say “yeah so I’m Aidan”

SpreadJoy

Aiden is just correct for the famous person introduction thing. There's nothing wrong with starting off with the "Are you" is fine

Douglas Nevins

a friend of mine in college peed in a beer can on spring break and made people drink out of it

Tyler Adams

Here I was defending Aiden for two whole comments before realizing he really kept the debate going a lil longer then needed. All that said, shoulda just kept watching very decisive and respectful discussion y'all, proud of your characters

Pierce

Gimme the Connoreatspants episode pleaaaaaaaaase

Evelyn Watson

Aiden once again proving he has the best social skills

Pierce

Aiden calling them out for having more friends and being completely right while simultaneously not showing malice is the karma this pod has been waiting for

Pierce

Been calling it 'X the everything app" for a couple of weeks now, 100% blame Slime

Niels

I’m not in the discord lol but yeah that would work wouldn’t it

Ryan Megaffin

Just go to Archie zone in the discord

Andrew Uddin

Someone ask Archie if he drove the bouncing animation section by linking the audio to the position attribute, or if it was done manually?

Ryan Megaffin

i agree with this, mostly because i feel like people do "hey, are you ___?" as an intro in all sorts of situations that don't involve celebrities

Omar M

Slime is Timmy toot toot

BicFirth

Ludwig is right fs. As a bi man, Nick is incredibly hot in this ep for no reason. Zipper 2 is a lucky woman slay

jacob beaudway

I’m sorry but arguing for brevity over 2 single syllable words just doesn’t make sense to me. The only thing I can see is that saying “Are you X?” can be cynically viewed as a way of siphoning information, where as just “X?” is almost always to get the attention of the person. It also seems like Aiden is looking at it as covering his bases incase he is wrong, where the rest of the boys see it from the perspective of the famous guy, when in reality none of them are the type of person they complain about, who in Nicks shoes would have committed to talking to Not Kyle Mooney. Even Aiden has talked about not talking to Karl Urban because he forgot his name, so they very clearly aren’t collector-types

Jaimie

wow

maurivalentine

Lol I'm hoping that is a compliment and also no, I just don't want to say such huge sweeping statements on peoples personalities without making it as clear as possible that I am giving it a lot of thought!

Iain Davis

Bro for sure has a creative writing degree

TheCarptain

It’s crazy that ConnorEatsPants got Joe Exotic on Fortnite Friday before these chucklefucks gave him the respect he deserves and put him on the pod

Zach Orvis

All of this is my perception of the lads, not a psychoanalysis. I am certain I am wrong on a lot of what I said but this is the perception I have of them for the moment.

Iain Davis

Slime - Slime is the worst one and honestly a bit sad. I get that to some degree its a character but it still feels like he legitimately doesn't want to be just a Pokémon which I really respect but in order to protect himself against it he needs to block people out from being people. I would find being treated like that really shitty and ultimately I would just not say anything to him. This is the part that really sucks because Slime is the person I think I would love to sit down and just listen to talk about his life and interests for as long as he wanted to talk about them 1-1. Anthony has I imagine has so much more depth to his personality than he puts out with the Slime character that its kinda sad that I would rather skip out on it than have a mediocre photo.

Iain Davis

Ludwig - Lug is harder because I think there isn't much I could speak to him about that I think he would enjoy sharing. I think his job is to share his life so I think his value is me letting him know just how much I appreciate his attempt to just make the online space better and more friendly for everyone and showing the world that he treats his employees like people not names. I'd also mention that I appreciate the larger events he puts on.

Iain Davis

Can we get a yard animated series ples

Bradley Newman

Nick - Nick is an interesting dude to me and I'd ask him about how he his perception of his past self who was really good at most things has changed now that he is surrounded by people who are all great at niche things but not necessarily as broadly decent at thing as him. I'd also ask him about film because I know basically fuck-all about film but someone passion about it telling me their POV is always great to listen to.

Iain Davis

Aiden - As someone who lives in Cape Town South Africa, Aiden's genuine love for humans made me want to reach out and let him know that if he ever comes down and needed a place to crash or really just any advice I would love help. Ultimately I didn't because I think he'd find a far more interesting crowd that isn't a 30 year old dad. Point is if I met Aiden I would tell him what I appreciate about the stuff I have watched him in and ask him about things I feel are unique to him like the balance of non-smash friends, smash friends and more famous friends. As with anyone though I would make sure to give them an out if they didn't want to have an extended conversation.

Iain Davis

I would have a totally different approach to every one of the guys here. I would want to make sure they all feel like I gave a shit if meeting them and the same goes for any other famous person I would like to meet.

Iain Davis

I feel like the boys didn't really give the fans of anyone a fair enough level of respect when discussing meeting people. The reality is when I am meeting a famous person I always think "What do they take away from this that makes them worth stopping and talking to me." I know not everyone thinks this way but in my idealistic 30 year old millennial BS world view, if everyone approached it like this then everyone just gets mutually respected and those interactions that are just Pokémon cards never happen.

Iain Davis

I had no idea Grok was AI this whole time until Nick mentioned the 18 fingers thing. I’m so out of the loop.

Kritur

Aben righte

yacob

Nick with beard works so well, great design 10/10

monasax

#1 bonus ep for sure got me har har

pahtchY

what the boys fail to understand is money is the everything tree

thestabbiest

Alright, get Slime an interview show where they keep getting increasingly more famous people on, without telling him who they are, and see how famous they can get before he doesn't open with "who are you?"

Thothrax

the voices in my head over analyzing social situations made podcast, fuck

ethanthekeed

Did Slime called Lud getting hit by a car & being fine?

Hentai King

hawk tuah me nice

proxy

Coming from the third side of the “are you…?” argument, as someone who is told that they look like a few celebrities from time to time, I get both sides of this to a certain extent. Ludwig arguing under the pretext of a follow up, with telling Kirsten Dunst that he and Squeex watch Virgin Suicide every year, is fuckin hilarious to me tho 😭

JFleets

Congrats! Sometimes it takes getting to that point to put shit into perspective, at least you decided to better yourself after that! <3

Emmitt 1017

Never getting DnD before GTA 6

Lucas

Famous people everywhere crashing out lately. lol

ChubbyHobo

Personally I saw it more in a, "if you are asking, you know who i am most likely" way. But it does come off badly.

Ismael

Nick looks top 2 ever this ep, and top 1 ever from 41:37-49:20 gawdayum

Quinn

wonderful editing on this one

Cerastes

I thought I saw Lucky when I went to Smashcon last year, just went to a dude and said "Hey are you Lucky? You look a lot like him". He just said no but thank you & everything was cool

ditochi

The only thing worse you could’ve said is “wait… how hot is she?” 🤣

MarkSteez

i've started correcting people who say twitter with x the everything app it is a mind virus

Cross Road

Also I’m autistic, I feel like that’s important context for this comment

T W

if someone is mad for confirming who they are, just hit them with the “sorry I’m on the spectrum” shuts that kinda shit down real quick

T W

Slime said he tripped up a little in interview with Sasha Grey, I just 'carefully' googled that and he smoked the interview as well as all other guests at streamer awards. Hate to say it but he is a goat at it. She literally told him to hit up her DMs after.

Scott

The most braindead episode of The Yard on every single front haha

Daniel Townley

Honestly if i ever meet one of the boys i'll prob just go with the "Doctor" + head nod then go along with my day

Chris Coronel

I’m on Aimen’s side, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with confirming an identity of a famous person to introduce yourself to them. Lud’s argument felt very “don’t you know who I am” energy

Joseph Lupo

sometimes youre just not the main character of your dream y'know?

Chris Coronel

Crazy how Slimes dream was warning Lud about his accident, “go for Ludwig” mfer

ConQueso

I peed on my mom in our camper when I was blackout drunk at a festival in 2010, and I didn't get canceled -- I just got branded with "Pees on Cowgirl" on the back of my shirt for the next few years. I've since gotten sober (almost 5 years now!).

Jadenity

aiden is just so right people are saying "are you" to try to just minimize the awkwardness of an interaction like that, people who say "are you" aren't some sort of evil people who are just in it for clout

Cross Road

Yeah you're 100% valid to crash out on someone when what they're saying is unhinged. Also to preface it, Slime had just told him "You're broken in the head" for saying that you can easily navigate out of an "Are you X?", "No I'm not" kind of interaction. I felt like I was taking crazy pills here. It is such a tiny deal if you say "Are you X?" and the person isn't. So easy to navigate that, I don't understand.

Andy Hackett

I feel like Aiden would be the most excited to have the interaction. None of them seem like they wouldn't appreciate being told you like their work though.

Andy Hackett

Nah dude in my mind Aiden is almost always on the money in these arguments, except for the matcha donut/cronut argument, that was wild of him, won't lie.

Andy Hackett

That's the way to do it.

Andy Hackett

Yeah it is a bit out of touch, but it's probably difficult not to become a bit out of touch when you become a bit famous. I do agree with the idea of respecting their time and only saying something you think is for their benefit. I even think asking for a picture would be too much because it's a bit too self-serving. I'd just be like "Are you X? Oh cool, I love your work, have a good day dude." If there was some particular album or movie or show I loved them in, I'd mention that too. But yeah expecting this specific verbage for figuring out if they are that person is kinda corny. Not everyone's brain or memory works the same anyway. Some people have difficulty remembering faces, whatever. As you said, it's not that deep, say whatever to make the introduction as long as you're not rude. Besides, if they are not actually that person, I don't see why they're saying it's awkward, you can 100% turn that into a funny interaction with the right response, and then just peace out.

Andy Hackett

Watching the yard while doing my eyeliner adds +10 difficulty, almost ruined it laughing at slimes lud dream

Amelia Geneva

The asking celebs bit was probably the most out of touch the yard has ever been. The reality is that no one, and I mean NO ONE, is thinking this far into it. The "are you" is just this subconscious way of speaking for most people. Means no more, or no less. Are you Ludwig? Yep. Cool good to meet you, pic/whatever, convo done.

Antonio Guerrero

how can ludwig go from saying fan interactions can feel like getting the pokemon card then say coming up just for a pic is fine. Like ????

Kaleb DeMuth

really wild that slime had a dream about getting in a car accident with ludwig in it and then a few days later ludwig gets in an accident

Joe F Mazurek

i never once called it the everything app before slime started saying it. theyre right its allslimes fault.

jesus

Yo Nick you should peep the NZ clothing brand I Love Ugly, I think you'd fw their stuff :^)

camtap

Love them independently creating padel

Jackson Honeycutt

Archie editing in Ludwig's order was hard

Andrew Uddin

it’s not a problem i see it as the acceptance of X as the branding which ppl have generally resisted since the change

CJ Bingman

I could not possibly agree more with Aiden

CJ Bingman

29:31 ludwig saying "im gay and a champion" is gonna be my ringtone

Dr4k

I need Connereatspants on the pod

Brayden Carlo

Just came from the main episode, Nick dear God play ds1 and let us know what's up 🤝

Kola

sounds like Wichita

Eternally Vice Versa

nick looks so good wth

xavier

Dream Ludwig is so cool

Tyr

Highly disappointed they’re not animated

Athena

I saw Ludwig at Disneyland once and I was with a bunch a friends and as I was gonna go up and say hi but I realized QT and her family were there with him, so I didn't approach, idk if i was out and about with my gf and her fam, randos approaching for pics and stuff might slow down the fun so I missed my chance but I rather the guy I like to watch on yt is vibin and enjoying himself you know? ps: i posted this in his chat once and he called me a bitch obvi farming no hard feelings lol

Jo Nobody

I will have you know that I bowled on one of the best college bowling teams in North America and you are 100% correct the ranking system was fucked to high heaven. (it never really mattered outside of recruiting but reasons given for the rankings were always garbage)

Cade Barker

Nick does look bonita

Ireland Hathaway

honestly the argument flows in the most ridiculous way lol. like a weird goalpost moving flow chart

Pranav

MILKMAN MENTIONED

Subpar

When I walked by Nick in Artist Alley at TwitchCon 2023 I just said "Hey Nick, love the pod." and kept walking 😊

Morgan

i can confirm i've started calling it x the everything app as a joke because of slime, i do regularly refer to it as twitter tho when speaking like a normal person

sand

I hate to admit it but Nick mogs Aiden HARD

Morgan

I loved the animated segment, that should be the new norm

Tony Lozano

This was a diet croffle/mochie donut ep

tyler hall

Loved this ep. Love the whole discussion on the social contract that is interacting with famous people. Luds whole pussy being out in those shorts was a little distracting but good ep

Joey Petruska

S m c we a C

Jasper Strauss

Wow

Jasper Strauss

Why would slime calling it the everything app be a problem? Thats like saying the truth about flat earth is a mind virus

Daddywarbucks

every time they mention hawk tuah, i feel a year of my life chisel away

mey

I would be most excited to meet Aiden than any of these other guys

hayden boydston

idk guys, i think i may have to unsub after this one. Slime admitting he has never used Grok and not being challenged on it was highly concerning. Slime has said so many stories about him and Grok and its now hard for me to believe anything else on the show. Grok tuah

TheGFactor

As a Scottish person i think slime doing the trainspottong bit with his shitty Scottish accent was not cool and he should stop trying to do the accent

Rory üçer

I would absolutely always ask if the person I was approaching was who I think they are, to make sure and because if they can’t be bothered it gives them an out

Joshua Haskett

slime and lud were sounding crazy lmao this is the first time where Aidan is actually right

Zion Blartt

Aiden is so correct, it's crazy

CeraVe

Aiden was so right this episode it’s crazy

Max kitzmiller

Would love to see ConnorEatsPants on the pod

Very__mild

NO im not

Alessandro Belotti

I know someone who mistook Keenan Thompson for Tracy Morgan. He hasn't fully recovered

Mickey

it’s a w crashout

ashe

Damn the boys did it again

Brody Miller

That fucking LudToe

Damian Sherman

Aiden losing his mind over Lud and Slime's weird issue with two words in that situation was hilarious. Also Aiden was correct :)

TenaciousDealer

at 15:30, I am 2 pints of shiraz goon in, and feel so much higher than I have ever felt

Raven Neck 103

This is my favorite primo other than Aiden solo lmao

Christina Fazio

Ah yes Aiden crashing out on his friends about potentially being wrong is big pp energy

Ryan Wolff

hawk go tuah the polls 🇺🇲

Crus

When Aiden said “and I have more friends than you” I think I heard 9 inches slapping the table

ashe

The funny thing about not getting the "are you" is they had an episode where a guy didn't ask that and had a whole interaction with lud thinking he was soda

Hbomb 621

Hearing the boys shit on Omnipong made me happy as a table tennis player that has to use that dogshit site.
