Watching in 2025 and Aiden saying "it's all fun and games until I get deported" aged like milk

2023-10-25 02:17:00 +0000 UTCthis episode is so old now but the first time I watched the yard it was actually because of Karl Jacobs- but I kept watching because of the dynamic between everyone else. To me, an episode will still be absolute fire as long as there's at least 3/4 of you
Katelyn
2023-10-24 01:18:01 +0000 UTCI know this episode came out so long ago, but I'm just like nick and the office, but with this podcast. I genuinely think I've watched every episode on the youtube at least 3 times while playing games with it as white noise

2023-01-16 02:44:13 +0000 UTCYo I learned to crack an egg with one hand recently, always thinking it was super cool from the D-com Slime and Nick mention, but could never remember what the movie was called. Thanks for the memories (even if they weren't so great)
Bridger Parker
2022-10-12 22:03:12 +0000 UTCJust got premium a week ago, been listening to the podcast since ep 25, my dad is from Olinala Guerrero Mexico, and he did not teach me, or my brothers Spanish, or about our families ancestry. I still never heard his boarder crossing story. He was very adamant on a white family type idea, and wouldn’t even celebrate Mexican holidays with us or anything. Butmy mother thought it was important to teach us our history and about Our Mexican identity. Just relating to the story about the Mexican father opting to keep his kids from seen as the “other”

2022-06-19 18:09:05 +0000 UTCI'd heard of Ludwig before but didn't know anything about him other than he was short and turns out that's not even true lol. My brother is a LudBud and knew I liked Podcasts so he recommended you to me and you quickly became my favs!
Rob Carlstrom
2022-04-19 15:54:29 +0000 UTCDo you have any clue who I am? Don’t you ever talk to me like that again- great episode tho
Jacob Johns
2022-03-12 17:13:55 +0000 UTCDidn't actually come from Ludwig and was surprised to learn he was the famous one haha. I assumed they were all random Smash players with no previous content creating history but always had hilarious stories. It was fun slowly getting to know the context behind everyone's backstory and how the Yard came to be!
Kay
2022-03-08 23:04:04 +0000 UTCAs a yard viewer living in Leeds I feel I should say that I love the city, it's a great place to live
Calcifer
2022-03-07 23:28:48 +0000 UTCHave you heard of the "typolect" study that was done in the 70s and 80s? When they were talking about that I was brain-blasted into when I was reading it. Unfortunately, it was an unpopular study. I found it fascinating, though.

Bashton124
2022-01-01 10:57:31 +0000 UTCI'm late to the boat here, but I study speech and language, and wanted to spread the knowledge that it's when you learn a language's sounds that impacts if you have accented speech. So if the kid's exposed to English speech (in person) before about 8 years old, they will develop the same accent as those they most speak English with! I've worked with many kiddos whose parents either don't speak English or whose parents' English is very accented, and the kids' English always sounds native-like, even though they've only spoken it since Kindergarten. People also think that learning another language means you may have difficulty learning English, which is also not true! Home languages and school languages can be different without any issue, and bilingualism is actually proven to have many benefits academically and socially! If anyone has any further questions about this, you can message me!

2022-01-01 08:29:11 +0000 UTCHonestly Ludwig is the only person that I would not care if he left no offence
Fragment Turtle
2021-12-30 12:30:50 +0000 UTCI came here from the ludwig show. These minor characters were interesting, so I had to check out the spinoff. Damn this spinoff is good, so Ludwig or not, I'm a yard fan. Also, I've found I relate so much with all of you guys that I'm specifically a Slime, Aimen, and nick fan now too.
James Bee
2021-12-23 03:57:06 +0000 UTCMy dad did the same thing as slime's boss from Mexico. We're brazillian and he was made fun of as a kid for speaking portuguese, so he decided not to teach me or my siblings. Now that we've grown up he says he regrets it because knowing another language would've given us so many more job opportunities. I'm trying to learn portuguese on my own now just to feel less alienated from other latines. It's a struggle but I'm getting there lol.
t3ssaract
2021-12-11 08:35:09 +0000 UTCFavourite episode by far, because lud is generally the main source of news/topic points, and in his absence the remaining members were far more creative in creating talking points and the episode had way more bits. For example the shitting on Auden doubled and there was way more pack watch talk
Sniperplum47
2021-12-08 01:29:14 +0000 UTCCame from Ludwig, because of the truc cast and here for you guys
Marin Bergeron
2021-12-07 17:45:46 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know where nick got his shirt?
btweenames
2021-12-03 02:58:12 +0000 UTCAlso with the accent thing yeah my parents and other relatives have said I sound like a fucking weirdo child but maybe they got the wrong guy at the hospital
sbin
2021-12-02 08:57:28 +0000 UTCGabe bit is so much funnier when I can literally imagine where he is when he's walking out and being gunned down by Cindy and the firing squad
sbin
2021-12-02 08:56:43 +0000 UTCYou think I'm coming here for Lud? We've had 2 years of constant Lud I'm here for the road dogs baby
Jacob Neff
2021-12-01 18:01:17 +0000 UTCThe accent phenomenon is not exclusive to New Zealand. I am Scottish and I sound so absurdly American because when I was younger all my internet friends were American and I slowly changed my accent to make myself understandable and now it's drilled into my head and I struggle to speak without the accent.
Fraser Macdonald
2021-11-30 06:23:30 +0000 UTCI simply came

Asorous
2021-11-25 21:32:41 +0000 UTCNot gonna like I came to the yard because of Ludwig but stayed because of Nick
Dakota Sutton

Deepto Chatterjee
2021-11-20 22:39:47 +0000 UTCNot here ‘for Ludwig’, here because the chemistry is fucking incredible between y’all. Genuinely funny as shit and helps me through the hours of public transit I ride each week xx
Nic
2021-11-20 02:45:47 +0000 UTCif an ol righty said they shit themselves at the geico last week i'd give em a chuckle

Lou
2021-11-18 11:15:04 +0000 UTCI came for the Ludwig but I stayed for the comradery of the boys
Sneakyo13
2021-11-18 00:13:04 +0000 UTCImma be honest, I wish someone was there for me like Aiden’s dad, it’s not like my mom didn’t support me but that feeling that someone is right behind you, pushing you to do better must feel so good.
Josue
2021-11-17 17:06:53 +0000 UTCI didn't notice until this episode that Slime has skinny knees
Jake Malinowski
2021-11-16 20:42:47 +0000 UTCI think out of all you guys I'd listen a lot less if Slime was gone
Johnathan A Ball
2021-11-16 20:08:19 +0000 UTCThe yard drew people in originally for Ludwig, but I think all the premees watch for all of yall. Was for sure still a great ep!
Jesse
2021-11-16 17:12:11 +0000 UTCYeah I came for ludwig, but now that I know more about everyone I really just enjoy the group dynamic you guys have with each other, I think its really unique.
Jacob R Zielinski
2021-11-16 17:03:04 +0000 UTCFan of Ludwig but I started watching the yard when i saw a clip on Tiktok. I stayed and patreoned because Slime is my favourite human, Nick seems like a man who knows what he's about and Aiden always has the best takes, e.g. Spoiler's make movies and games funner, i like knowing that something will happen and watching it happen, being surprised by it adds no value.
Blake Christianson
2021-11-15 16:50:07 +0000 UTCI came for Slime/Nick/Aiden more than Ludwig, my favorite Ludwig stream was american truck sim during the subathon. Can't say I stay for a specific person but I definitely enjoyed this bonus ep.

2021-11-15 07:31:53 +0000 UTCthe aiden keurig nut thing about slayed me my roommate knocked on my wall to stfu i'm crying laughing
dee
2021-11-15 02:59:22 +0000 UTCdrummer/musician here. On the very short topic of whos who in a band, i get drummer vibes from slime, and guitar from nick and i really cant see it any other way. Aiden is sax for some reason idk. This is all based on completely subjective experiences with similar looking people lmao
TraderJoestar
2021-11-15 02:30:51 +0000 UTCI would love to see if Ludwig could act as a corpse for a whole episode with Slime "Weekend at Bernie's-ing" him the whole time.
Shootles
2021-11-14 11:53:24 +0000 UTCthey talked about boogie nights omg
nabidiboy jones
2021-11-14 05:42:32 +0000 UTCWho's Ludwig?
John Johnson
2021-11-14 03:59:20 +0000 UTCI like everyone on the pod but I'm here for slime, actually found out about lud through trying to find more slime melee content
thebrewsky26
2021-11-14 03:23:40 +0000 UTCI do love ludwig-less content. I came bc of him but def stay for the other podcast personalities :)
Moss
2021-11-14 00:22:25 +0000 UTCI thought he was at the cringe convention giving a speech
Bluex Daedra
2021-11-14 00:20:24 +0000 UTCNo hate all love, but this episode has made me realize Ludwig is not crucial at all to the pod. He's the nice sprinkles on top but underneath there is a SOLID ice cream foundation.
Panda Punch
2021-11-13 21:30:32 +0000 UTCThere's a kind of balance between Slime's chaotic nature and Ludwig's lackadaisical self. I liked how unhinged this one was

Josiah Eutsey
2021-11-13 20:52:03 +0000 UTCI think this episode was super funny and wouldn't mind having more eps of just the three of these lads but only occasionally

2021-11-13 20:24:08 +0000 UTCI came for slime, stayed for slime
Risible Shark
2021-11-13 19:28:41 +0000 UTCalso Nick is talking about Aiden walking in on him shitting & Slime asked, "Were you shitting in your bathroom?" . . . Does Nick shit somewhere else??? That isn't a bathroom??
Angel M
2021-11-13 17:06:58 +0000 UTCI nearly did a spit take when Slime said " After the shower, I like to lay on my floor [nude] with a space heater to my balls"
Angel M
2021-11-13 17:04:59 +0000 UTCI was here because I saw Ludwig, but stayed for everyone else.
Sean
2021-11-13 14:57:24 +0000 UTC9 minutes in and this is already the funniest fuckin premium ep
ArchTalko
2021-11-13 13:22:13 +0000 UTCBUT does the yard hate women???? bc you guys need to have QT on. she and aiden had such a cute dynamic
Jennifer Coolidge
2021-11-13 12:27:55 +0000 UTCi actually loved the dynamic in this ep. and think you guys covered more interesting topics and we got to learn more about you (personality traits that would make you unable to be a streamer, aidens childhood trauma, etc.) and i really enjoyed that. i love ludwig but he is naturally the center of attention and i think its fun when you all get to be.
Jennifer Coolidge
2021-11-13 12:24:39 +0000 UTCI like the trio bonus because Aiden talked more
Connor Cusick
2021-11-13 08:23:37 +0000 UTCI came for Ludwig, I stayed for slime and aiden.
Kristin W
2021-11-13 06:47:54 +0000 UTCI know someone from the deep south, whose whole family has strong accents, but she speaks the most nuetral, non-accented accent I have ever heard juts because she grew up playing games with people all across the US and Europe that spoke english
Mason Shackelford
2021-11-13 05:32:44 +0000 UTCfor a podcast without ludwig they spent a solid chunk of time talking about him/ why they couldnt be him
kaitlyn
2021-11-13 00:36:57 +0000 UTCI honestly thought they were gearing up for a Keeps sponsorship the whole time talking about Aidan going bald

Walker Reinmann
2021-11-12 22:57:39 +0000 UTCgood ep
Joseph
2021-11-12 20:27:53 +0000 UTCyou could totally do weekend at Bernies premo episode if Lud takes a few Xanax before/partway through the normal episode so he's asleep by the end of it
Alex treib
2021-11-12 18:53:35 +0000 UTCGotta agree with slime here, Aiden has 5 years tops of that full head of hair :P The degradation kicks in really fast.

2021-11-12 16:47:25 +0000 UTCThat was the worst set of English accents I’ve ever heard lmao

2021-11-12 15:41:54 +0000 UTCconfirmed i was born and raised in australia, live in australia and other australians always ask where im from cause i have a bastardised american/australian accent from spending so much of my time playing games with americans on voice chat
Emily
2021-11-12 15:03:00 +0000 UTCI want you to know that the entire bit of Aiden being Ludwig was fucking hilarious. Listening to Slime and Nick rip him apart by basically saying "you have a lot of sex" was funny as fuck. I typed that before you guys even asked about how the pod is without Ludwig, and for what it's worth I came here because I heard about it from his content, but like Nick said I stayed because you all are very funny and entertaining. This isn't "Ludwig Content" its The Yard, so it's all of you
TheTailbone
2021-11-12 14:04:45 +0000 UTCLove the pod but you guys are crazy if you don’t think the episode where Charlie writes the DAYMAN play is the best episode of it’s always sunny. “You gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boysoul.” Is the funniest line in the whole show IMO
Carter
2021-11-12 13:34:32 +0000 UTCWhen is the Patreon exclusive soccer match to find out who’s the best player
Gabriel B. Jacques
2021-11-12 12:40:06 +0000 UTCI'm in the patreon simply because the content with all 4 of you guys is so entertaining. I consume a lot of Ludwig's content so the pod does feel weird without him because it still has the label of being Ludwig's Podcast in my mind. But, I feel like keeping up with the pod and the bonus content has helped me appreciate you guys more and more. You're each so individually funny and interesting and the group dynamic is always hilarious.

Bryan Garcia
2021-11-12 08:56:33 +0000 UTCI come for slime Aiden interactions and Aiden reactions mostly tbh and this ep was great for that
Rad
2021-11-12 08:35:01 +0000 UTCI think that I’m here for you three, but I think ludwig does add a little spice.
Parker Waterman
2021-11-12 07:55:10 +0000 UTCI'm here for your guys' interactions because they're funny, Ludwig being present adds another person cracking jokes but without him nothing changes. still funny lads sayin funny stuff
SgtSlime
2021-11-12 07:48:27 +0000 UTCCool episode, I agree that a lot of people came for ludwig but most of us are staying because of the pod as a whole

2021-11-12 07:14:54 +0000 UTCFinished it. Cheers, a banger :)
Camilo
2021-11-12 06:34:32 +0000 UTCI came for more slime, paid for more nick, and stayed for more aimen.
Sean Privett
2021-11-12 06:30:18 +0000 UTCi love lud but whether he’s here or not i would listen to this pod every week the second it’s posted
CJ Bingman
2021-11-12 06:21:24 +0000 UTCHonestly I’ve always been more into this podcast than I’ve been into Ludwig’s stuff
Lion Sharpener
2021-11-12 04:29:13 +0000 UTCTo say that I'm only here for Ludwig is like saying I only watch the Office for Jin Halperp

2021-11-12 02:29:03 +0000 UTCfirst found Lud/Slime from Off the Sticks and have been watching stuff from the gang since then- bad melee, MPL and now the yard
Dan McCarthy
2021-11-12 01:56:05 +0000 UTCI actually don’t mind the prem ep without lud

2021-11-12 01:34:54 +0000 UTCholy shoot the camera work in this exclusive was so much funnier than any of the rest of the yard that i've been able to watch.

2021-11-12 01:04:42 +0000 UTCI was here for slime from start
Krenko-boi
2021-11-12 00:59:44 +0000 UTCI'd still be here without Lud. I heard about it from his channel, but he's the one I'd care the least about leaving, mostly because he makes so much content anyways.
ET507
2021-11-12 00:54:54 +0000 UTCtotally forgot weeds existed and now its on my rewatch list
jessica wold
2021-11-12 00:51:34 +0000 UTCLiterally no quality dip even with Ludwig gone, but it felt like Aimen lost some of his humanity by sitting in Ludwig's seat
Slinky
2021-11-12 00:47:31 +0000 UTCI started listening because of Lud, I stayed for slime cause he makes me not scared to be bald
XannyPhantom
2021-11-12 00:38:53 +0000 UTCIn case that sounded like I only care about when you talk about melee, totally not the case. If Sleepycabin didn’t exist, this would be my all time favorite pod
Jason Queen
2021-11-12 00:35:31 +0000 UTCI came for the group because I always liked when you all would show up in a Lud stream
Fletcher Warmington
2021-11-12 00:35:15 +0000 UTCI subscribed because I figured Ludwig and Slime would talk melee, since I came here from Mang0 and the 6-4 (RIP). I stayed because of all 4 hosts though. If Ludwig dipped, the vibe would be different though so I wanna say I’d stay but I’m not 100%. Just keeping it a stack. Love hearing from all 4 equally though

Deirdre
2021-11-12 00:16:52 +0000 UTCIn response to the question at the end, I didn’t subscribe to The Yard for Ludwig. I subscribed for the group dynamic. ^~^
Jared
2021-11-11 23:56:42 +0000 UTCCame because of Ludwig and Slime, but also cuz I wanted to see more of Aimen and Nick and the whole group all in all after seeing the great content made on luds stream when yall were there

2021-11-11 23:06:06 +0000 UTCI really think they should do an episode where it's just the partners and Aimen's Milf of the week tho
Justin Pflieger
2021-11-11 23:04:44 +0000 UTCEveryone's over here saying they came for Ludwig, I just like the roomies and I was glad we got a way to see more of em

2021-11-11 23:03:30 +0000 UTCArchie, if you read this, the pub bit had me cacking, the little "oh" just brought it all together.
Narayan Baril
2021-11-11 22:47:49 +0000 UTCAt this point I would consider myself more of a fan of y'all than Ludwig at least as far as the pod goes, however lud is an important presence because he unites you 3 against him
Quinn Miller
