Starting point is 00:00:00 You can martingale famously you can martingale because after like I think 14 hands you reach the GDP of like fucking Columbia the martingale has a limit and that's why it's a beautiful flawed system. That's why you always win with Martin Gale. Go to the casino and try it out right now. Yeah, if you start with one, where does it go after like 14 permutations? Is it permutations? It's not that many. It's many, you know.
Starting point is 00:00:39 One, two, four. I don't trust him. He's got a mouthful of bagel. When he's off a bagel, he has no logic, of bagel for when he's off a bagel. He has no logic no framework He's a slut off a bagel one thousand ten twenty four. Yeah, you know what? I love the podcast is when we do math we do math on on the Math on the yard podcast and then I mean a little over eight thousand dollars. It's not that much I mean like for 14 hands like you're you're pretty unlikely to even get there
Starting point is 00:01:05 So go try it out. Okay, but do you know what you get if you win the $8,000 hand? You win that you go back to even you get $1 You win your initial bet. That's the issue with Martin Gale is you'd risk eight thousand to win $1. You always win Yeah, but you guarantee win T You guarantee you guarantee You guarantee win. No, because it's like a 99% chance. That's a guarantee.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Well 99% of germs on the Febreze bottle. Have you pulled a knife in CSGO? Yes. 0.05% chance. What? No it's not. Not if you Martin Gale. It's Martin Gale the Knife. That's what trains have been doing. Trains and Martin Gale in cases.
Starting point is 00:01:46 Trains back and I'm back to watching. Dude, everyone's cracking cases. Why is Nade in on it? Why is, like, I've noticed that Nade Shot's in on this. Well, I think he was just cracking cases and then I think Nade Shot or excuse me, Trains gave him like part, I think he had
Starting point is 00:02:02 a hundred thousand dollars of cases and he's letting Nadeshot open some oh he's letting him work through some of that I see I see it's like when you pay somebody to sit on the slot machine progresses literally yes yeah because there's like the thing about CS cases especially if you're streaming it it's slow yeah yeah they take a while you can't you get like maybe multi-box I tried to get Connor into it and we opened 10 cases and he went, this is boring. What? Oh my god.
Starting point is 00:02:27 He like plays gotcha games. Did you do it on the TV in front of everyone? We did it on stream in front of chat. I guess if League is right there. You know what it was? There was no like giant yaoi big titties flopping around on the screen. That's because he plays gotcha. What do you think yaoi big titties are? it's well, it's a new version of.
Starting point is 00:02:49 I'm sorry. I'm the progressive one here. Yeah. You know how you miss the whole you miss the whole. Yeah. We can see now they got big. Now they have big old breath. This is real. This happened. You had a conversation. Yeah. Without you. Someone was running it down.
Starting point is 00:03:02 But we talked about ice cream, we talked about awesome anime, Japan, Japanese politics. This is crazy. We all learned to speak it. Oh my god. Different dialect that you don't get that's cooler. That locals respect more. Oh, you're speaking Kansai? You're speaking a little Kansai, yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Hike! Hike! That's alright, that's an inside thing. That's a little inside shit. That's a nice match, that's a good one. Dude, I've been sick since fucking Master Baker, yeah, hold on. Hey, that's alright, that's an inside thing. That's a little inside shit already. Holy nice matches, boy. Dude, I've been sick since fucking Master Baker, I'm over it. Yeah, you sound like butt. I want someone to kill me. He keeps going, I'm tan now, cause he's burnt on his forehead.
Starting point is 00:03:35 Hahaha! Oh, white boy got a tan, you're mad about it. I'm not mad about it. You cannot hold up that arm and say that. He keeps saying that. White boy got a tan, you're mad about it. White boy got a tan, he's beat red. Hold up that arm and say that He's beat red Fish that you can see their brains in no, I don't I'm not translucent. Yeah, do you look like case only yells?
Starting point is 00:03:59 Come on now You look like that whatever do you look like that dude? I rode my bike at the beach yesterday. That's cute I didn't even know you had a bike. It's not even his bike wasn't your bike So next time maybe not fucking why I'm sorry for a second. Did you really think he loaded up two bikes? But do a little bit of things you said my Some legwork. Yeah, I wrote a rented bike at the beach. It's just like, you're too smart. But he said my bike. You need to do some legwork. Yeah, yeah, I rode a rented bike at the beach. It's just, it comes out like fucking rotten milk. Well, no, it's not. I think that's elegant.
Starting point is 00:04:31 Now that you've got it all in context, the story's drastically changed. Yeah. Yeah. I think that's why I got a tan, because it was rented. Maybe that influenced something. Yeah, tan asterisk. OK, hold on. Take it back. I'm tan. I'm not taking it back. You're burnt. I'm the most tan I've been in a while.
Starting point is 00:04:47 If you admit that you're a little bit burnt, I will handshake with you. I'm also a little bit burnt. Of course, it's part of the process. Say it without the attitude. It doesn't matter if you're burnt. Hold on. I gotta say without the attitude. It's gonna take me a second. How do I do that? Wow. Yeah, I'm a little bit burnt as well. That was good. That was good delivery. That was good. I'll give it to you.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I'm sick. I'm sick. Your girl is trying to gas you up. What's that about? What does that mean? She messaged me a picture of the flowers that he got her. And he was like, she was like, he's leveled up since 1,800 flowers. And I will say.
Starting point is 00:05:25 That makes me feel worse. I will say. She just doesn't message you. The bouquet was breathtaking. What was it? It was a beautiful bouquet. Was it 1,900 flowers? It was custom.
Starting point is 00:05:33 It was clearly a custom bouquet. I'll show you guys. All bouquets are hand selected. No, I went to the place and I told them what to put in it. Okay. Yeah, that is way above and beyond. One time I went, when we got that big wreath when we did the episode where you died, I went to get that and it was $300 and it was crazy, it was beautiful.
Starting point is 00:05:55 Huh. What is that? Don't say uh. Don't say uh. It's a beautiful bouquet. That's nice. It's too many leafy green. Price check.
Starting point is 00:06:02 It's too much romaine. Price check this bouquet? This bouquet is expensive. 50. No, I think it's more. I would put it at like 200. Who? Well, his was 300 for the wreath when he died. So. To 250. Wow. Yeah. Ludwig narrowly wins. It was 220. 220.
Starting point is 00:06:24 I mean, you only spent $220 on your girlfriend. We have a picture on that fucking big. Wow. Ludwig narrowly wins. It was 220. 220. Fuck. You only spent $220 on your girlfriend and we have a patron on that fucking big? 220 is so expensive for flowers. That is not a fair way to do it. Why is it not fair? You can't say it. You have a Patreon so big. I did not.
Starting point is 00:06:35 I really. The flowers are capped. Wait, Aiden, you met a guy with a neck tattoo? Oh, yeah. Last night. Cool. He met me. You know what he said?
Starting point is 00:06:49 You know what he said? You know what he said? I was waiting. I was waiting for some food last night and he came over. He came over. He's taller than me. I know what you're going to say. And he said, hey, man, he's going to bring a load.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Eight. Like, could I get a photo I love lemonade And then we took and then we took a photo and then he and then he said hi I never listen to the yard, but you know with it It's it's nice to get to know you through this like new project and and I was like yeah So back up so this is a guy who likes Aidan through knowing Ludwig Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, no, no, no. Back up back to my theory. That's it. Let's back up back to my theory. What the theory? I'm thinking Twitch streamer. He's a Lemonade standager. You can give it to him. If anyone is a Twitch streamer and they come up to you and they say, love your shit,
Starting point is 00:07:53 they are literally lying. Look, he opened up with an evil laugh. So I'm taking full. The guy had neck tattoo. That I think a cool fit. That I think is the. Let me guess. It was like a bird. Hold on. What?
Starting point is 00:08:04 Or a rose, a bird or a flower. I guess it was the tattoo aid stand Did he just have an eight and all old English on your neck? Did you just get fed that on X no because someone added the the yard account and I just saw it Do you call them lemonade stands? Yeah, Nick? It's a bird. I Call it. You called it. It's a bird. It's a bird sounds awesome I call it. You called it. It's a bird. It is a bird.
Starting point is 00:08:24 Sounds awesome, Aiden. Sounds like an awesome, cool necktie too. But I will say this. I think the Venn diagram of guys with neck tattoos and guys that watch Lemonade Sand are like five guys. Max lifetime. It's very small. It's got to be.
Starting point is 00:08:38 Really? I don't think neck tattoos are in. It's a full necktie. Oh, maybe not. It's a throattie. Sorry, yes. It's a throattie. Oh, that's different. You were's a third throat tat. You were thinking a small little neck tat. Necktat's this. Throat tat is this.
Starting point is 00:08:47 Yeah. Well, he was very nice. Well, I- No. Aiden, I for one am happy for you. I fucking hate you. I'm the only one here who listens to Lemonade Sin. No, you don't.
Starting point is 00:08:56 Yes, I do. He does. What? He does. He's an avid listener. He's critiqued some weeks. I skipped certain episodes. Oh, interesting. And he knows which ones.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Dude, he was in Mokewell. Which one? He knows which ones. I don't even know. I know. Wait so you admit that you have stinkers? Sometimes? Wow. It's a new show. Who doesn't have a stinker occasionally? I think we've had zero stinkers in the past two years. Zero! Well Apparently Nick's also got a new pod. Nick's got a new pod. And he told no one! He told us yesterday. Yeah, I know that's told everyone on new pod. Nick's got a new pod. And he told no one. He told us yesterday. Yeah, I know, but that's crazy. I told everyone on the internet.
Starting point is 00:09:29 That's crazy. Yesterday. I told him. You didn't tell me. Well, you don't listen. It's league week. Oh, no. Okay.
Starting point is 00:09:37 But did this plan come up two days ago? The guy who just spent every waking minute of his life playing league for the last week. How come you guys don't tell me anything? This is where you tell me anything, dude. I can't believe I don't know what's happening. I got my 30 minute hubris. Why don't you tell me anything? It's not unfair. It's not unfair.
Starting point is 00:09:52 It's very clear that Nick's been working on this for a lot longer than one day, or since league week started. And he didn't tell us. And we have to ask ourselves, gentlemen, are we out of the pyramid? I knew. I told him! Aiden, are we out of the pyramid? Out of the wedding pyramid? I knew I told him Aiden are we out of the pyramid out of the wedding pyramid? I mean we all getting collectively replaced by Alex. It sounds like he okay
Starting point is 00:10:11 How's that man to be the base of the pyramid? He can't even read I think I think the pyramids go he's working He's learning how to read right now The pyramid is just gonna be slime on all fours and Alex standing with its slant being the other two guys Hey, do I look like an A dude? That's what he's going to say. Yeah. And he will. And he wouldn't. I remember. Yeah. I could. I fucking clicked on on the first episode.
Starting point is 00:10:33 I click like click. I just clicked into the middle of it to like I want to see what it's like. With our attention. And then the folks that about that is pretty dumb. It's like I click in and then immediately the first thing I hear said is, Alex is like, dude, I go to prison, I come out Muslim. Yeah, he is funny because you hang out with him and if you could just like select one sentence of the day you hang out and then put it like on a fridge magnet, it's always
Starting point is 00:11:02 pretty good. That's why he's good at tweeting. What's your goal with the pod with the new pod? I really have one. Just fire. It's just fun to do. Why? Why Call of Duty? Dude, what do you mean? For all the obvious reasons,
Starting point is 00:11:13 because it's an Xbox 360 summer and he loves it. Yeah, it's nostalgic and fun and it's reminiscent of like old cod commentary. We basically stole the idea from Schlatt. It's weekly slap, which he stole stole from every other cod commentator. It is so... Really? What do you mean? I don't even think it's related. Outside of Call of Duty, yeah. No, I think I think a candid like casual or candid conversation set over Call of Duty gameplay is the...
Starting point is 00:11:38 Right. Schlatt is like the only the big difference is is that his is like people write in and he responds to the write-in. Is yours pre-recorded or post-recorded? That's another difference is that we do the commentary while we play. He does it after. Yeah. But it's like the aesthetic. It's like the thumbnails are very similar. It's just like a screenshot of the game. Yeah. It's like we were gonna do. I'm interested on your way in. Because you mentioned on your League stream that you had ego death when it comes to usernames.
Starting point is 00:12:07 Oh yeah. Oh, it doesn't matter. What do you mean? Well, I was telling QT about this because I think like three years ago she wanted to change her name from QT Cinderella. And I said, no, don't do that. It's bad for SEO.
Starting point is 00:12:19 And then she brought it up again and I forgot that conversation. I was like, oh yeah, change it. Why not? And she's like, you told me not to. I was like, what? You do this a lot. Yeah, I do.
Starting point is 00:12:28 Yeah, this is a classic Ludwig. Well, I'm strong in my convictions, but I'm also able to change my mind. Well, it's more that people come to you for like ideas about strategy or like being, cause you made it, you're gigantic. And then you'll either say, I don't know, or you'll say something and then through it
Starting point is 00:12:42 it was really be like, that was, that's dumb actually. And that's very real But people come to you for consistency Ludwig. Oh, yeah, but I'm not But sometimes I am sometimes I've had the same idea twice. Yeah, and then I know it's a really really good idea But it's like two different people coming. Yes. Yes but yeah, I brought up how Rewatch a video I made with Technoblade, like, I don't know, four years ago or something.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Yeah. And in the video, we're talking, just shooting the shit. And he asks, I asked what Technoblade is from, and he tells me it's like he stole it from some kid when he was seven. And then he was like, what's your first camera tag? I was like, let it go three one. He's like, that's sick. You should make that your YouTube URL. And I was like, back in the day, I'm like, is that not bad for SEO? Have we considered the search results?
Starting point is 00:13:28 It's funny, too, because like as a young Minecraft YouTuber, he is like he knows like Golden Tomes. Like in that ideas arena, you are coming to him. Like, what do we learn today? Yeah. How do we tap into the minds of the youth? He's the authority there. And he told me at the time, he was like, nah, you should just change it.
Starting point is 00:13:48 It's iconic. Like it just kind of rules. Sure. And but I didn't really take it too seriously. But I rewatch it. I was like, no, he is right. Like it just kind of rules to do what you personally think is awesome. And it's already been stolen. Yeah. As of I own it on a second channel. I try to change it, I can't. Okay. I need to log in to the second channel, which I just don't have anymore. I'm locked out of one of my old channels because of that. It's the- I think it's the channel where I uploaded like the family guy
Starting point is 00:14:21 behind the scenes table read of a blue harvest. Right, right, right, right. Which is my first YouTube video ever. But yeah, I try. I think it's are you not in a privileged position because like because you kind of have a giant channel now, you can say like, yeah, just do what you want, bro. When it's like, I don't know. It's harder for someone who's like, you know, struggling
Starting point is 00:14:41 and making shit videos. The yeah, but like, I don't I don't think that I think if you're then you guys just making sure that there it is. Love you. Three one family guys Star Wars episode six. Remember this? Yeah, 15 years ago, dude. That is half my life ago.
Starting point is 00:14:57 Yeah, isn't that crazy? It gets worse. It gets worse the more you age. Well, actually it'll get better because it'll be a third of my life. It's a little more of how many YouTube channels have you had lifetime then? Have you? It's four? How many YouTube channels have you had along the way? Oh my god. If every single one counts, like 30?
Starting point is 00:15:17 30? I've had at least 10 to 15. Three. Oh my god. Three and one of them, my friend Eric said something really racist in the comments of a Sinbad video. And it wasn't me, I promise. But he's on your account? He was on my account.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Dude. But I promise you, it was not- he is Mexican. So he said the word that Mexicans are allowed to say about Sinbad. And- Pfft. And- And- And-
Starting point is 00:15:44 And- And- And- And- And- And- And- And- And somewhere, it's somewhere on the internet. But it wasn't you. I promise it wasn't me because he, you know, he said that a lot. Yeah. Cause he could. Cause he could. And I didn't because he was my friend and I knew that there was a line.
Starting point is 00:16:04 And you couldn't. And I, but we were we were you know on the computer watching it sin bad I think we get it. You're good. You're safe. Well, I brought up the ego I kind of rehashing the primo but I I brought the ego to a thing cuz me and Alex were debating if we should title the videos like a funny like ominous thing that kind of like, not ominous, but like... Fingential. Yeah, yeah, that relates to something we talked about.
Starting point is 00:16:30 So one example was he complained about how he hates all GameStop employees. We're gonna call the episode GameStop employees are lost. Because it's kind of funny to see that vague sentence on a picture of the Call of Duty intervention and whatever. I thought it would maybe lead to people actually clicking on it. But he wanted to name every episode the word of Duty intervention and whatever. I thought it was like maybe, it would maybe lead to people actually clicking on it. But he wanted to name every episode the Word of the Day.
Starting point is 00:16:48 Which I thought would not work as well. It would just be a word? Just like whatever the word of the day was? Like whenever we recorded, like the word was sumptuous. And so the title is Sumptuous. Oh yeah, that's horrible. Yeah. No, that's genuinely bad.
Starting point is 00:17:02 But. Authentically. Like, like, like pure poop. Yeah, I mean like. Like, bad butt. Like, that's genuinely bad. But... Authentically. Like, like, like pure poop. Yeah, I mean like... Like nasty from a butt. Kinda, yeah. Okay. I don't know, I think it'd be like titling video moon phases.
Starting point is 00:17:14 Like different phases of the moon, waning gibbous. Well then you... Okay, that's a heat. No, that would just be like a bit, you get a bigger female audience, you just get all these girls watching. No, but I chose to go his way because I thought it was a good exercise. Sumptuous. If the yeah, because I thought it was a good exercise. I've let the let the chess speak for itself.
Starting point is 00:17:34 Yeah. I mean, hey, you get to see now. We'll see. Day one was excellent. That's the pleasure. Day one was great. That's the pleasure. I just imagine it'd be really confusing because to remember the episodes, you'd have to like learn, it's like a new language. It's like in Pokemon Gen 3 when you have to learn the Regi Rock language
Starting point is 00:17:54 because you're just going to have to remember the sumptuous episode. I've got to figure out how people know which one's which. It's so confusing. I think that's part of the cool like apocrypha of, what it is, it's just the old world? That might be one of the episode names. It's all the way YouTube. I should don't tell it to have. And that's cool.
Starting point is 00:18:12 And I mean, maybe it'll be like, you know, like I can recall face. Fakey got game thirty one to thirty three, which because I remember those are good ones. Yeah. I think maybe some people two years down the line will be like, oh my God, Somshois and Apocrypha were such bangers. Yeah. And if you literally had this whole all of this happened in my mind. I mean, that is cool. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:32 That is cool. And Alex is thinking about it no more than just like it's funny to him. Yeah. There's a period of that and I think it's also a fortunate position because like you don't need this to pop off. You just have people watch it that are like like you. I'm also a YouTuber now, do you know that? I do know that.
Starting point is 00:18:46 I do know that. So I'm posted on- You saw? You saw Jibin? You saw my post Jibin. I subscribed to you, man. You subscribed to me, man. Yes, yes, I subscribed to you, man.
Starting point is 00:18:57 All right. You subscribed to me? You subscribed to me? I watched a video for a bit, yeah. And just enough to torch the algorithm. Why did you do that? Well, I needed to click out quickly so it would do bad. So I got my ten accounts.
Starting point is 00:19:12 Yeah, I did have to eliminate Sam once a week. Yeah, we do that. We got bots doing that. We got a whole counterproduction. Yeah, I saw it. So I made a community post. And he was like, I don't know. Sometimes maybe I'm in my head about this concentration stuff. You know what? I just want to do things that I like doing.
Starting point is 00:19:33 It's kind of cool that you guys like that too. It's true. And you know what? It's true. And you're doing it. It's doing great. It's true. You're happy.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Yeah, bro. He's the white Northern lion. You are. He really did inspire me. I'm not kidding. Yes, like looking at the way he just does what he does. And then you can just do what you do. And if you're funny, people watch you.
Starting point is 00:19:53 And if you're not, then that's fine, too. It's again, very fortunate because some people struggle. Then the fucking they get 10 views a video and then they quit. It's like, yeah, for sure. Yeah. Most people struggle uploading Like continuing on like like on the hundredth upload yes, that's really hard I mean, but some of us can't all get 10 top 10 salty ice climber moments right away or family guy No, I fucking pull
Starting point is 00:20:22 Yeah, one day you think we'll all be as big as lovely one day I fucking pull bangers. You have timeless content. One day you think we'll all be as big as Lubbock one day? Yeah, I think I would need to- Why do you say it so genuinely? Because I think if you continue to upload you would because I won't I'm 35 and it's not gonna happen. If you just outlive me, you'll beat me. Well, I'm definitely outliving you. That's no question I mean in the YouTube sphere in the real world I outlive you. No you don't you have a 300 name It's not at the end real world. I live you. For sure you don't. You have a 300 name. It's not the end easily. I live you. I'm not living.
Starting point is 00:20:47 He's healthier, man. No, but he's a chest hole. That's kind of 15. I'm as not as strong. You're not strong or fast. I'll run you the two metrics. You want to slow us on the show, but I'm way strong. Are you the slowest on the show?
Starting point is 00:21:02 It's possible, but I would I would put it to the test. We do need to do the column, we had to erase Columbine No, no no no we don't need to do don't need to do this also. There's too many of us Did we just even twice the amount of people? The combine Appreciate it Forgot the combine Combines are too short I think you appreciate it. Okay, thank you. You actually fucked that up. I forgot the Columbine part. I thought that was...
Starting point is 00:21:26 Columbine sounded too short. Dude. The NFL Columbine. Dude, I got our outfits. We're going to do Columbine. No, we're going to do the Columbine. Yeah, the training. Yeah, we have to do this.
Starting point is 00:21:37 I'm down, but all I'm saying is I think if I put money on it, Ludwig outlives Nick. No, dude. I think you live. He's going to do he's going to die in a fucking motorcycle accident at 42. He's more risky. Sure. It's it's it's I think I think I narrowly escape it. And then I live a long life. Yeah, you narrowly escape it.
Starting point is 00:21:58 And then the fucking 40 pounds of ice cream you've had this week just kills you. We're all one taps. You just just pure fucking diabetes. Jabba the Hutt inside of your stomach. It's so disgusting. So check. OK. OK, it looks great. You're sucking. Yeah, you are sucking. But he's literally
Starting point is 00:22:30 I wasn't sucking. That was the Drake Sixpack. Oh, my God. That's a six pack is fucked up. Yeah, it is. I was like, you know what? The Internet loves a chew toy. But I looked I looked long and hard at his body.
Starting point is 00:22:42 And I'm like, it's just not right. It's like when the Drus like when Drew ski wears the fake And he posted that Drake uploaded that is like look at my body. Oh, dude, he's cool. He's covered in oil He's got to what so much alcohol in a house built in I think the 1800s. I feel like it's that's weird, no What? Posting yeah posting your weird abs. Yeah, it's it's obviously it's it's weird, no? What? To live in an old mansion and post your weird abs? No, I'm selling them, posting your weird abs. Yeah, it's obviously, it's weird that he thinks that it looks good. Who is it for? Like, even if it did look good.
Starting point is 00:23:13 I don't know, some people like to feel themselves. For the ladies. If you are fucking jacked, you take a picture of yourself and you feel good. How old is Drake? I don't think, I hate this argument. 38? No, he's 40s. He's not, he's literally not. He's mid-high 30s? I think he hate this argument 38. No, he's 40s. No, really not really He's mid high 30s. I think he's 39 or 40 40 40 to show me Drake zipper
Starting point is 00:23:31 Survey says how old is 38? 42 all day Drake is 42 years old 37. He was born in 1983 Show me 37 No, she's not that beef is aging him like Obama Oh shit, I just know shit that beef is aging him like Obama Real got the fucking grays now. Did I guess a grace? That's why he's that's that's why he's posting because fucking Kendrick Wow Kendrick and ever born the same year. Yeah, they went to high school. They were they were best fucking friends, bro Defton Faker they met each other at Young Business Leaders of America. Yeah. And a conference in Toronto. They were also at MLG Anaheim 2014.
Starting point is 00:24:08 And he. I got to say, he really started with Degrassi. Yeah. Loving. You could be a rapper. You can make a similar transition. Miss the window. I don't think I could be a rapper. Yeah, you could. I mean, Jack Harlow made it. Yeah, Jack Harlow made. No, he's kind of actually the secret about Jack Harlow. I'm gonna get a lot of shit for this I feel like he's kind of good. I
Starting point is 00:24:29 Feel like he gets so much shit Nick is on this boy He's like he's fine Nick is on this Justin Bieber tip because he saw that song's great We saw him doing push-ups in the hood and now he's like Bieber's the coolest guy ever Bieber is the coolest guy ever what am I on fucking planet crazy? No, he's kind of right about that. Bieber is awesome. What are you looking at? I'm getting some into the zipper, bro.
Starting point is 00:24:51 I think that you're smoking crack. No, dude, they're the fucking white boys of the summer. He hangs. Jack Harlow. Jack Harlow is not the white boy of the summer of 2020. No, not 2025. His summer was probably like 20. I feel like women have run summer for the past like 25 years.
Starting point is 00:25:06 I don't think there's been like a white boy the summer since Shethanks. Wait, wasn't it? I thought it was Shethanks. Shethanks was definitely a white boy. Shethanks had it, but how long ago was that? That was three years ago. And then we lost it? The women took it back. We've lost it. Women have taken over this because we had a Sabrina Carpenter summer. We had like probably like a Charlie XCX summer. Yeah, you're right. We haven't had a man's summer in a while.
Starting point is 00:25:24 It was a Brad summer, and now it's Sabrina summer. Make it a Nadeshot summer. 2016 we had FrankX summer. Yeah, you're never we haven't had a man summer in a while It was a brat summer and now it's Sabrina summer make it an eight shot summer 2016 We had Frank Ocean's a made shot make it an eight shot summer. We're all open to count on Oakley shades It's an eight shot summer Dude, also I was wondering this do you think train has cracked the most amount of cases by hand as a human? No, only pixel. Oh, yeah. no, I think Train beats him for sure. I don't know, man. What? I think so.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Train's been doing it for a decade. I feel like Ony's been at it for so much longer. But I think it's just also Ony doesn't have as much money. Like I think Train literally has the most money to do it as well. It's not money, though, it's time. Like they both have enough money to be cracking cases every moment of every day. But OnyPixel at points will watch tournaments and play the game, and I think while he's doing that,
Starting point is 00:26:11 Trane is going plus one. Trane, yeah. Trane is getting the edge. Do you think Trane is cracking cases more or raw casino gambling more online? Cracking cases more. Really? Maybe I misunderstand that.
Starting point is 00:26:22 I thought he was just gambling on slots and shit more. I think Oni, there's a crowd of the people who are famous for being into CS skins like Oni, I feel like they crack less than people think because they're also curators and collectors and traders. They're more embedded in other aspects of the community. I feel like Train boots up and he hits like he hits the community. Are you asking? Whereas like, I feel like Train, Train boots up and he hits like he hits the slots, you know? That's fucked up, dude. It's fucked up. We should put it.
Starting point is 00:26:50 We should honestly get him like a like a brain scan and see if it fires different neurons. Oh, my God. Like Alex Honnold. I bet he has like an Alex Honnold level of no fear when it comes to these things. Wait, it tracks it on CS2 case tracker? Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:27:04 That's just going up. I don't think that's real. But it just says two billion. I was like, two billion is not possible. That's funny. I watch this video, it's how much down time are in Zelda speed runs throughout the game by Bwildabeast, he's a Twilight Princess runner,
Starting point is 00:27:21 he's great. It's a gross amount. Isn't it a gross amount? Well, he does it by percentage, but he actually breaks it down. What is downtime all this stuff? But it's I and it's a great video, but it makes me apply that logic to how much time you could add up. Let's just say when the key goes in right of the case or how much time
Starting point is 00:27:42 do you spend in between if your menuing isn't good enough at cisco? How much time do you spend like there's all these little pockets that have added up to probably like actual days Which is kind of cool. Oh, yeah like if you consider the amount of time zfg has watched like the opening cut scene of ocarina of time and then you like It's probably more time than I have played league of legends Yeah, yeah, which is crazy because i've played a lot of League of Legends. Well, the beauty of Counter-Strike is that it feels like there's no downtime. Like, picking the case, that's part of it.
Starting point is 00:28:12 Picking the key, it's also part of it. This is all a ritual. They made it grosser. They fucked up when the key goes in. That's where they fucked up because you can't rotate the case anymore. Yeah. That was a hard one. I think it's European legislation. I was doing...
Starting point is 00:28:23 Can't wiggle? I was doing case right, case left, Case left, case, right. Open wiggle. Press the keys. Aren't you? You're not allowed to wiggle the case. You can have it, but we have this one rule. Also, now you can rent it. OK, what is this? This is some big Reddit drama.
Starting point is 00:28:38 I was in if you guys hadn't seen it. Baker did what Ludwig couldn't do. Baker started playing League for fun, and he already has won five world championships. This is immensely better compared to what Ludwig couldn't do. Faker started playing League for fun and he already has won five World Championships. This is immensely better compared to what Ludwig, who is grinding this game, has done because he has not even won Worlds once. Not to mention Faker is also doing yellow shit like buying real estate, starring in ads and practicing Vayne tumbles IRL.
Starting point is 00:28:57 What do you think? This is such a massive post. Yeah, it's because somebody else made a post that said, Dendy did what Ludwig couldn't do and it came like like two weeks ago and it was massively downloaded, but it basically said Dendy hit platinum in League and he was playing for fun. Dendy the Dota player? Wait what? Yes, yes. If you don't know, yeah, Dendy like the like very famous. Dendy one of the most famous Dota players of all time
Starting point is 00:29:25 I wish I knew that I would have loved to watch Dendi play League Yeah, he played League and he was like he was also doing fun stuff Like playing Vayne jungle and playing you know Shaco Okay, so this makes sense now So they're making fun of that because it's like yeah, obviously the Dendi guy beat Ludwig Obviously Ludwig is not even fucking close. I have a league question. Please.
Starting point is 00:29:47 After your league week, being in one of the lanes of the world and no longer in the jungle with your toys. I mean, candidly failing our mission. Failing your mission. But learning. Do you have a new outlook at all on League of Legends, on the ranked platinum, on the role jungle, on anything like that
Starting point is 00:30:05 I think I was genuinely slow at learning Eee, I don't think so. No, it takes it like just a small example Like there's locket of Solari and it heals you and your teammates gives you shield for a brief period And it probably took me 15 games to recognize and be able to gain the mental sack to use it. I think I disagree. I think that you play on stream and you always have that like demon on the side of the screen which is chat and you also are like playing you're being Ludwig on camera and that is stopping your learning. If you were sitting here grinding you would get that really fast. I don't
Starting point is 00:30:40 think so. And I know it's less funny to say I don't think so, but I'm telling you the truth. Now, I'm just saying, like, I've done games offline. Like I played Valorant a lot offline. I'm not bad at Valorant. I'm just not that good for the hours I've put in. Interesting. I think I just learned slow. Nick has said this. You think he learned slow? He said that he seems like what I say.
Starting point is 00:31:01 You said that I was a lower Valorant like skill than I should be Yes, 100% definitely but part of it. You just hold yourself back part of it. You're just like I don't want to think about my mousepad I don't want to think about the mechanics of this at all. I'm just gonna rip the same sense I've always had I'm not gonna try new ones because when I'm in the game I booted up and I'm like this sounds different. I change your sense and give me one week with you diamond power You think? Yeah. A week?
Starting point is 00:31:26 Yeah. Wow. That's a bold claim. Yeah. Wait, one week of training or he plays for a week and he's not? Presumably it'd have to be a week of training. A week of training then he plays.
Starting point is 00:31:35 Yeah, okay. Yeah, I don't know. I think I learned slow, but I also think League of Legends is easy. And I could hit platinum in every role easily. Well, sure. I mean, Tyler to Tyler point to Tyler to and it's not challenges. Tyler point to that's funny idea. Oh, our race. Yeah. What do you think of this?
Starting point is 00:31:55 Let me let me paint a picture for you, please. Nick Slime. Friends turn to enemies. Race to gold. The race to gold. Iron to gold race. Okay. I think this is I love this. He goes top lane.
Starting point is 00:32:11 I go man. Because I think we both agree that jungle is kind of a hack. It's bad for their girlfriends. Well, you do the the hang out with each other. They keep each other company. Oh, like dogs, like dogs, like dogs. Like any animal capable. like any or friends. The human friends that are hanging out to puppies.
Starting point is 00:32:32 And they're really curious if each other's asses. It's part of a greeting. It's how they talk to each other. I'm not even a dude. I we we we do. We joke about our girlfriends hanging out at VSL. And I, I came home, I came home where VSL was being hosted one evening. It was a VSL night.
Starting point is 00:32:54 And it was a VSL night. And I'm not kidding. They're reading pages out of a book about periods, like a big book about periods. And I was like, this is... Come on. This is fine. Where they're practicing kissing too. This is fine. Like, I mean, it's like, give me a fun fact,
Starting point is 00:33:10 but this is what we make up what you guys do. Yeah. This is it. Like... That's crazy. I mean, it's no different than if at PSL someone came with like the big book of penis. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:21 And it was... And we're just all hovering over it, just like laughing and clapping. Which is also something we would do? Yes Whatever I think guys are just not proactive enough to go out and buy the book To even get the book about penis
Starting point is 00:33:33 Yeah, it ends at the idea Women do the effort of getting the book about That's true, yeah Which we have I have to respect You do have to respect it Well, honestly the truth is that PSL is a co-ed event It is PSL is no man allowed It is but at the same time The ratio is that PSL is a coed event. It is. The SL is no man allowed.
Starting point is 00:33:45 It is. But at the same time, the ratios fucked. The ratios fucked. Don't get me wrong. The ratios fucked. This I think the historic skill that people have in Call of Duty also makes it very hard to enjoy because QT gets on the six. You're saying women are worse.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Avenue games. So you're saying Call of Duty specifically. Yeah, I think historically they saying? Call of Duty specifically, yeah. I think historically they play less Call of Duty. But she just happened to play Halo instead of Call of Duty. Yeah, but I think Call of Duty made itself, I think Halo made itself more fun. Like I think it's like Valo and CS.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Personally, I think they can do anything. And I agree with Nick. I feel like I'm taking Nick's side on this. I guess I have to be on the descending side to keep this going. Your girlfriend, I think she can do anything. I think she can do anything. We just said that she couldn't. She carried my win streak. Really?
Starting point is 00:34:31 She can. I mean, she got two of the fucking 10 wins. It's crazy. I don't know how you keep pulling. I think they're pulling levers at Riot. This one, I don't believe. What do you mean? Not this Ludwig's 10 in a row. Well, it was Mickey Mouse. We cheesed it. We cheesed it. We cheesed it. Like we should have lost a game where we we had this DCing Fiora top.
Starting point is 00:34:48 DC'd like 12 times, kept coming back, and then we lost, and we didn't count it. But that would have ended the streak. If you didn't count that, we did it legit. I see. Wait, you didn't get to 10, though. We did 10 in a row, but we just gave ourselves fucking get out of jail free card.
Starting point is 00:35:03 Because of Fiora DC? Because of Fiora DC because if you already saw you did But you won every other one Including the good wheel spins to give us extra lives. Yes. I see. I mean our actual record was like 10 and 4 This is this is the line. I'm saying it's Mickey Mouse. It's the line Mickey Mouse It's just not the same as the line King one, but hey You can't always hit the line. The first one was a movie. But this one, it's OK to go straight to DVD. What's funny is I don't think the first one is a movie.
Starting point is 00:35:28 I think what people think about is me hitting plat was a movie. But the first one, first League, we went 37 and 37. League week was bad. Yes. Because it didn't move the needle. But people conflate League week with hitting plat, which is not what it was. It's true. League week, we played 74 games, one half of them. Yeah, the system was. It was a perfect failure.
Starting point is 00:35:45 It was really League Month the first time, which I didn't like. I remember it was New Year's Eve. Ludwig is playing a game of Amumu and he's like, this I fucking hate this game. This is the biggest waste of my time I've ever had in my life. And he's just clicking and screaming at the Baron. And I was like, yeah, yeah. And then what's crazy is that night at a New Year's Eve party, I was telling everyone that I want to go home to play league.
Starting point is 00:36:05 And last night, after league week ended, we were lying down. I was like, fuck, I should put one up. Yeah, it's a it's it's crazy addictive crack. It is crack. But anyway, beautiful race to gold. I love it. What do you love it? I love it. I think there needs to be a few rules. Excuse me. You need to do the Josh Myles rule. What? Yes, they said they agreed.
Starting point is 00:36:21 Five grand a day. Oh, yeah. No more. That way you guys have some sort of life outside of it I think you guys should do the same lane and you should agree on which lane it is the same lane You should both be doing the same lane because I think otherwise there's a little You know argument that it's like oh my lane is harder. No wonder you know like I've less It removes variables. I think you should just both have to play. I feel like you could play mid or top, and it would be fair. I feel like it should be the same.
Starting point is 00:36:49 Because otherwise, it's like we're trying to figure out who's fastest. He's running the 100. He's running the 200. You know, it's like it's a different it's a different game here. I actually disagree. And I think it's it it would behoove me to agree with you because I think top line would give one of us a head start is harder to. I have to learn a champ to go top. I don't learn a new champion No, not neither of my champs go top race to go just start ADC. Neither you done it. Oh, you're saying
Starting point is 00:37:13 Yeah, dude ADC would be so gross. Oh It'd be a challenge Maybe that's what we do ADC with support Phil. It's the one role we don't play. What is already so bad that learning a new role is so silly it feels like. We're already, we're still split again. It's complicated for no reason.
Starting point is 00:37:34 I think it makes sense. I think if you guys are talking about like the, you know that learning effect where you learn so much at the start. And you think you're genius. Yeah, like if you consider your mid-lane skills and your top-lane skills, like you're not that far away from where you think you're genius. Yeah. Like if you consider your mid lane skills and your top lane skills, like you're not that far away from where you are at ADC. Like you'll learn a lot quickly. I also think it would be fine. It's just it's a really frustrating lane.
Starting point is 00:37:54 It is. That's the. Yeah. So anyway, if we do this, I promise you guys, we will not have endless league conversations on the podcast. There's a third rule. Yeah. D&D has to release first. Whoa. OK, I'm looking forward to this in what, 2027? 2028? Bring it all on.
Starting point is 00:38:10 That'll be sick. What else you got? Nick dropped a podcast before D&D. Yeah. They do be saying that. They do be saying that. I'm in the off season. But we, can we say it?
Starting point is 00:38:19 Can we say we set a deadline? Did we? I didn't know this. I'm not saying it out loud. Do not fucking say it out loud. I won't say it out loud. I didn't hear this either. Just my bare hands.
Starting point is 00:38:27 We bit. No, I can't. I can't know the guy who specifically can't know because I would leak Nick Nick says, hey, what's the deadline? Say it loud, loud, say it out loud. Oh, my God. Say it ruin your hook the next year of your life. I like setting deadlines. You know, what's funny is you're really good. The first time you. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:45 But what's up? you're really good the first deadline you yeah, yeah, yeah But what's up you like setting them? I do like it's work Yeah, sometimes it numbs hard I guess I could have clipped we've been waiting wait. Yeah, we can like cut it back I guess I don't just keep you're going I don't know, just keep it going. Reset. Ryan's Angels. Oh! I don't know if I'm watching that. What about your guy Slime?
Starting point is 00:39:11 Your best friend Slime's playing right now. You could say he's sort of my friend too, kind of. She does this whether it's his or not. Like he thinks about me a lot. Anyway. He knows! He knows! He thinks about me a lot Anyway You don't go to school tomorrow It was it's funny cuz dude I I was talking about this I think the other day there's there's a primo or sorry
Starting point is 00:39:40 There's a clip where I talk about that psychuna thing that you fucking set me up for you're like he's crass You know how crass he is and then I said something crass you're like that's crass and anyway Wait, what what that's with the last fucking funny thing I said about psychuna last time I said he didn't like saying penis and then you said when's the last time you think? He cream pie some that's not what happened. You said you said so craft. You don't even know. And then I said that that but and that is what I'm talking about. Because you set me up. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:11 Yeah. And yeah, that's right. Of a trap. Yeah, I did land in a trap. Yeah, I just don't watch the clip more than you. I was really funny to be there. I would make that leap. That's not that's like a aid of effort.
Starting point is 00:40:22 I'm saying is the comments are great. Like it's so many people who love Psycho. And so mad at me, which is totally fine. I'm like, yeah, I I think I get it. But that him him knowing makes me feel pretty good. Because and you know, it sucks is that I destroyed him in the Sajam slam. He literally ran in my came standing medium kick. I saw that I saw He shut down mentally.
Starting point is 00:40:45 That was a rough clip. He kind of mobbed. But it doesn't matter because people will remember this and they won't remember that. It's true. That is true, actually. That's crazy because people do remember the standing medium kicks.
Starting point is 00:40:55 Evo moment 37. Who won that Evo? Dude, I don't know. Exactly. Whoa. I know. And this is my god. This is with 37.
Starting point is 00:41:04 Daigo Parry's Justin Wong. I don't know who won either. Who won that Evo? I don't know. And this is my god. This is moment 37, Daigo, Perry's, Justin Wong. Oh my god, but I don't know who won either. Who won that EVO? I don't know, I don't even know what stage of bracket that was. You wanna know the dark, twisted fucking truth? Neither of them. Neither of them won that EVO. Do you know this?
Starting point is 00:41:15 Yes. Did you look this up? Yeah, I looked it up because I thought to myself, who won that EVO? For third track specifically? Yeah. Whoa. It was neither of them. In the Cal Poly Pomona Ursa room?
Starting point is 00:41:24 That's crazy. Oh, it was? Yeah, you didn't know that? No, I didn't know that. It was neither of them. In the Cal Poly Pomona Ursa room. That's crazy. It was. Yeah. You know, I didn't know that. I was kind of like, go to shit. Wow. So like, you know, that's the same thing here. It's the same thing here. I I trained so hard for that slam. It's the most I've trained for a game.
Starting point is 00:41:37 And you're the Kari both practice I put in. You don't do not shut the fuck up. What Kari didn't win a single game. Literally, literally, which I don't I don single game. Literally. LITERALLY. Which I don't, I don't know. That's neither here nor there. I'm not gonna dance on a man. That's here and there. That's crazy. Dude, going 0-4?
Starting point is 00:41:54 Fucking dropping an Owen Wilson in a say jam slam has never been done. No. A 007. No. Yeah, so cause it's a group stage twice. Dude, it's more than 007. Yeah, it's a group stage twice and then it's a, the So it's he went oh and seven oh and seven and then lost twice in Double limb that's crazy. So we went oh and 16. Yeah Which is crazy. Anyway, when yeah, I tried really hard and I couldn't beat this character JP
Starting point is 00:42:20 And it was it just like I was really sad you guys Finals, right? Yeah, we got reset and we lost yeah, we got second. We got a trip to Evo all paid for oh Such good prizes first place Capcom. I think chips in for it. Oh cool What's first Wow first gets like that plus like an engraved like controller or something? Hmm I like how Evo does it That's fun and and we lost man And it was like dude I wanted to put it like if I won because the team format if I win my match we win We just naturally will beat the other people right, but I didn't yeah, and I let fucking Brian F down, dude Oh, did Brian F win his no he because it came down to him versus riddles, but he was the underdog going in right
Starting point is 00:43:04 He's like I'm stepping away from competing, and I can't... Keeping up is really hard now. Riddle's not Ultimate Riddle's? Yeah, he's so sick at Street Fighter. Isn't Riddle's amazing at Street Fighter? He's the only Street Fighter now. He learned how to play Terry from people like Brian, and then played a Terry mirror,
Starting point is 00:43:20 we call it a mirror in the FGC, and he just destroyed. Dude, it's like when Rainbolt saw GeoGuessr from me, but now we're so far apart. It's exactly like that. And we both used to be pros. It's exactly like that. And we both used to win tournaments. That's right. So yeah, it would have been this poetic thing.
Starting point is 00:43:34 It's like, yeah, Brian maybe isn't like the best of the coaches and the pros, but he can train people enough to like win the format. And I couldn't clutch. He's stepping away completely, isn't he? I don't know if it's completely. Or like Street Fighter coaching and I couldn't clutch. He's stepping away completely isn't he? I don't know if it's completely like Street Fighter coaching and no No, I think he still likes making videos. Maybe competing is that it? It's it's competing and streaming. He's like it's too much But he's still like me like I Brian back in the day was doing Chad did like this deep dive He was doing so much old he was streaming on like the Xbox 360 and Street Fighter
Starting point is 00:44:04 Basically PSL for sure. That's the Bobby Scar. Oh PSL is like the Xbox 360 and Street Fighter. He's basically PSL for Street Fighter. That's the Bobby Scar. PSL is like a like a spiritually unique thing. I don't think anyone could really. He said he used to he had a laptop and he only had the laptop. So he would have OBS in one corner of the laptop window and PC Street Fighter 4. She's which was a way easier field because no one played it in the other side of the monitor. What's the Xbox doing?
Starting point is 00:44:27 And he would play, well, and then yeah, separate thing. But like that's how it was back then. Dude, I hope Riddles becomes the best Street Fighter player in the world. It'd be crazy. I'd be so sick. The irony is that Riddles played the fighting game characters in Smash. Yeah, in Smash. They played Ryu and Terry, or I think he played, I know he played Kazuya, but I don't know if he played Ryu.
Starting point is 00:44:44 They played Terry and Kazuya, and he's he played he I know we played Kazuya But I don't know they really like Terry and Kazuya and he's like I'll just play the real game Yeah, it's like when someone does an f1 simulator that becomes an f1 driver. Yeah Didn't like a really big f1 driver like make that transition. Yeah, like successfully. Yeah I don't think they're like one of the best but I think they made it to the pro circuit, which is hard enough But I don't fall enough. There's a movie called Battlefield Earth, and it's a Scientology propaganda film starring John Gervonta. Have you guys seen this?
Starting point is 00:45:09 No. I saw it in the movie, in the theaters, well, when I was a kid. It has Razzie Awards. It's one of the worst movies of all time. But I actually think it's Loki Heat. And so is Scientology. Check it out for yourself.
Starting point is 00:45:20 Yeah. No, but the movie's really interesting and it's really stupid, but in the far distant future after aliens take over the humans invade Fort Knox and they learn to fly fighter jets that are still in Fort Knox through flight simulators and then do an attack on the aliens and it's a really funny scene. Hey what about this L-Ran what is this phase clan? Come on. Let's go. I'm with you, bro.
Starting point is 00:45:45 The problem is that no no FaZe member knows who Aaron Hubbard is. No, they know. But, yeah. You don't think they know? Wait, this is awesome. Dude, it's a great movie because it's so bad. Oh, I've heard of this. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Is he have dreads? Yeah, he is a white man with dreadlocks. Looks like M.R. Yeah, he is a white man with dreadlocks. That is crazy. It looks like M.R. Yeah, but there's a scene of like a guy in like rags, you know, some tribal late human in a flight simulator doing this. And it implies that he learned how to fly a fighter jet.
Starting point is 00:46:18 It's really funny. It's like that. That looks badass. That's Riddles. Yeah, we should watch that and all the other movies I've begged you to watch. I've watched so many movies you've asked me to watch. You haven't watched Inside Lou and Davis. I haven't watched that one, but it's on my watch list.
Starting point is 00:46:30 It's on his watch list, dude. I've asked him for two years. Which is crazy that he would pick the one I haven't and not the one that I have. It's the one that matters the most. OK, I didn't know that. You didn't frame it like that. Every day I say, well, not every day. Every day I tell him, I'm like, it's a beautiful movie that you would love.
Starting point is 00:46:44 It goes right back day every day. I tell him I'm like it's a beautiful movie that you like every day Every day I I mention I bring it up when I bring it up. I said to be a movie. Yeah, dude It's green the whole movie's green. It's great. It's blue blue blue movie blue green dumb motherfucker guy Who modded Call of Duty to be a little bit blue? Well, actually now I'm not interested in why Damn what D-var is this? I'm so over being sick guys. I'm so over it. You want me to suck it out of you? Yes, please.
Starting point is 00:47:11 You're gonna be this way forever, bro. It's the weirdest sickness I've ever had. It started off just like, like post nasal drip for like four days and then I got like really sick. Usually it's the opposite like you get really sick and then it like gets better and better and better. I have the worst of it now and I'm on day 10. You on the vid? Is that it? No, I tested. How bad, how bad does he have to get before we take him out back?
Starting point is 00:47:34 Uh... I wouldn't talk to that guys. It would actually be if he starts coughing and it's contagious or if he starts talking like RFK jr. I'm not gonna do that His voice is so fucked up Yeah, it's like he just ate like a hundred lollipop sticks do that Maya talking like him. This is really funny She can hit it. Oh, she hit it. Yeah, she was yelling at Elden ring I actually I actually ratioed her. Yeah, I did see her Why well cuz I retweeted it and said she sound like RFK jr
Starting point is 00:48:09 And I got more likes than her actual post. Yeah, I was reading Twitter and people are being pretty pretty mean and But one of them said Ludwig looked like the kind of guy who hides his bite in the zombie movie Mm-hmm, and I like, broken clock, bro. I thought about that. Broken clock. I was thinking about that when I was like, damn, I do. There's also this picture going around of me and it's like, it's indefensible. Is it? Yeah. I don't know if you can look, I don't know how to look this up.
Starting point is 00:48:41 It's like a picture of me. Are you crying? Is the one you were crying? No, it's a picture of me, Myth, Hassan. Oh God! And... XQC. XQC. Your expression on that picture is the most ugly thing you've ever put on your face. I look... I mean...
Starting point is 00:49:00 Like so genuinely. I look like it. I don't do it. I've never done it. Like it's just like your 10th prestige in it Yes, oh my god, bro Oh Like like what an era my four text Crazy in the black pants everyone's legs look like like Jack Skellington. Why is X holding up a finger gun?
Starting point is 00:49:21 No, I think it's ice in his veins Why is X holding up a finger gun? No, I think it's ice in his veins. No, his hand is- No, I think he's doing finger guns. Also, X wore that same shirt at the poker game. I remember that. Yeah, you know what's funny is this night is the night where I hit the Luddie
Starting point is 00:49:36 and And it set the world on fire? And everybody knew. It was the one video of me hitting the Luddie and I think- I forget who filmed it. That clip of Kai SN me hitting the Luddie and I think, I forget who filmed it. Dude, that clip of Kai's snot hitting the Luddie, that's classic. That's great. That's classic shit, dude. That's all time for me. Yeah, no, that's Broken Clock, right?
Starting point is 00:49:55 Why do, like, Kai, like, AMP, why do they do those, like, weird illustrated movie posters for everything? You know what I'm talking about? I think it's just promo. The look of it though. It's the it's the aesthetic. It's so interesting and weird looking. Yeah. What does it look like?
Starting point is 00:50:13 Does it look like the one you did for GM? Like in that sort of style? Or is it different? Yeah. Look up Kai Speed Super Mario movie poster art. I think it's because they don't pose for photos. So somebody's taking presumably an incredibly low res image and then just like skilling it and drawing around it.
Starting point is 00:50:31 Yes, in a way that makes it now look like insane. I mean, that is crazy. So like this, this isn't the one I meant. There's a different one where it's like a different perspective, but kind of the same principle. Like, yes, when I think it's fine. It just looks crazy. I wonder if they make it with like you did.
Starting point is 00:50:49 They have foopas. Oh, they do have. You got Squidward legs. Why do you give them that? Yeah, that's squidward. You know, all those crabby patty. Find the other one, too. Why do they got squidward?
Starting point is 00:50:59 They actually didn't notice. They always like they always have these like weird mixture of like thumbnail aesthetic and Actual drawing aesthetic. Yeah, it's very and it only exists here I've ever seen these anywhere else in the in the blue chip arena of streamers. Yeah. Yeah, there's no like there's nothing It doesn't feel like they've they've like co-opted a style of movie poster. Mm-hmm, but they also the only artists I think they know I think the only artists they know do thumbnails. Yeah, I think that's a good point.
Starting point is 00:51:31 So like zoom out to the full. The thumbnail, the thumbnail ization of movie posters. There's a full version of this one. Yeah, I think I think that's the arms are bendy. Like they don't have elbows or joints. Like they've been drawn by someone who knows what Mario looks like but doesn't know the anatomy of drawing Yeah, I also think I see that a lot
Starting point is 00:51:48 But it's probably just cuz Kai did it like presumably Kai just one day Hit up his thumbnail guy and he said I want like a movie poster of the streamer gonna do Oh, and then now they just do that every time I don't get me wrong. I think it's cool It just looks crazy cuz it's so fake I mean like the arms clearly he did not hold that. That arm just looks like it looks like a GTA 3 right? It does look like Claude Speed. Yeah. It doesn't look it doesn't even look hand drawn.
Starting point is 00:52:13 It just looks like if you took an image of the arm, right, fully took all the noise away. I think that's kind of what it is. I am enjoying the set design. I think I have become a kind of Kaisenat viewer that when I know he's doing an event I will check what the set looks like Yeah, so I do the same thing. The Mario set looks awesome. It's crazy bro I I actually really like specifically when Kai and Speed do stuff together And I went to the Mario stream and it was for me. It was like so boring because they were they're just like not talking
Starting point is 00:52:44 They're terrible at Mario. They're terrible at Mario. They're on their phones sometimes. They're quietly like, should we restart? Maybe we restart. It felt like the idea stemmed from a conversation like how funny it would be if we dressed as Mario and Luigi and were in a Mario and Luigi room.
Starting point is 00:53:00 And then they looked for a game that was two player and they just happened to pick a game that they're incredibly bad at That's also not that hype to watch. It's not a good game. Yeah Yeah, it's because and they like set arbitrary rules because you can't just bubble cheese in that game But I used to watch mr. Fantasmo. He did a fucking cool last series ten years ago playing that game with this guy kid laser And like there's no rush to beat it. Imagine they did 16 star. The issue is that you can't do a two player.
Starting point is 00:53:30 Okay, that looks so funny. This one is not what I was talking about in a different thing, but awesome. They could rip them off. Is that even Kai? The eyes have been changed. That is not Kai. That doesn't look like him at all.
Starting point is 00:53:44 Okay, resident Mario expert in the room. If let's say Kai comes, he calls you up. He says, Aiden, I love Lemonade Stand. Love it. I'm also getting a neck tattoo soon. Wow. We want to dress up like Mario Luigi and do a stream, and it's going to be seven days long.
Starting point is 00:54:01 What should we play? What should we do, Aiden? To pick from all the Mario games, Kai? I'm honored that you'd come to me. Big fan of your work. Yeah, less glaze, but let's just get to it. I'm crazy. You listen to me and you go back.
Starting point is 00:54:16 You know that while I'm thinking, maybe just like Kai, you tell me what your favorite episode was. You got to kill that guy, Doug. We hate Doug. We hate Doug. I'm trying to think if any of the Do any of the good ones have an actual co-op mode? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:34 Mario 64 does. Like a mod. They could play the mod. If you include the mod, I would pick that. If they had to do 120 star of Mario 64 64 in the code, like that would be great. I forget. Maybe you can go co-op in Galaxy 2, but. I think there's a lot of co-op mods
Starting point is 00:54:54 available for the Wii GameCube and 64 ones. They should play Roblox remade Mario 64. Like they did with Dark Souls 3. All of the all of the side scroller ones are pretty boring. That's that's my general Yeah, I just don't think there And if they played the modded I think it's like they were caught at target waiting for a kid It took them 35 hours and 35 hours to just beat the Mario Bros Wii. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:55:30 Jesus. Truly that's like a less than six hour game. They did 100% for some reason. Oh, they did? Yeah, they got every secret coin. Oh, damn. That's intense. Yeah, I mean relative.
Starting point is 00:55:42 I feel like that's just... Surely you gotta collect all the coins. No, no, no. I think it's just get the big thing. I'm missing it. Truly you gotta collect all the coins. No, no, no. We're even fucking crazy? I think it's just get the big coins. The big coins is the- That isn't Mario, bro. You don't get a hundred percent- no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:55:51 Maybe there's a mod for Sunshine. Sunshine would be fun. I assume there was. Speaking of Target, and I'm gonna- this is like the most podcast topic, I think. I've brought up in a long time. Oh. I gotta grab. I'm gonna grab my gears. Okay. Dude, they try to sell you phone plans and target.
Starting point is 00:56:06 Well, you're just walking around, get your fucking groceries. Like a person. Yeah, there's a person near the electronics area. And if you walk by it, I was walking by getting smoothie stuff because I drink smoothies now because I'm 10 pounds lighter and I'm country. And so I'm walking through and I have a cart full of stuff because I got a blender for my smoothies because I'm country. Right. Yeah. And so but I walk by and there's a guy who it's like he's like hey man how's it going and he puts out his hand like fist bump me and I like on my hands on my cart and I'm like good man he's and
Starting point is 00:56:37 he's like what kind of phone plan you got and I'm like ah like I hate you know me yeah I'm the a word yeah I don't like I don't I don't like going to Anthony I don't like going to fucking places where all my friends are and I'm just trying to like Shop and just mindlessly go buy smoothie stuff and I'm being sold a phone plan and it's invasive Is it think you walk into the target? It should be off limits. Is he targets is targets phone plan? He's selling you know, I think they just team over you in the back of the store? Yeah, with the electronics. You weren't a redshirt? No.
Starting point is 00:57:07 Oh, that's probably one of the reps that's next to the phones. Yeah, they like they allow the reps to solicit inside. Fucked up. I agree with you. I mean, Best Buy has the same. That's what my job at Best Buy was. Best Buy is different because it's always been that way. This is a place where you buy food.
Starting point is 00:57:22 But isn't this also the same as like. With change Ludwig. Oh, no, but for real, you place where you buy food. But isn't this also the same as like with change Ludwig? No, but for real, you go and you buy like bananas and then someone's asking you to buy phone. If you want to buy a switch to and some guys like, hey, pussy, what about the galaxy? I go to Target and I'm getting ads in the form of fucking bots coming up to me. I'm going to use Amazon next time.
Starting point is 00:57:40 I think it's just the most common sales product is like phone plan. Sure. I just don't like it. That's fair. I've had my phone. My dead mom's name is still on my phone plan. Why still paying? Why you should say that to them when they come up to you.
Starting point is 00:57:56 You reminded me of that. Thank you for reminding me of that. Thanks for actually when what was like three years out thinking about it and you brought it back up. You're the reason I'm thinking about it now. Dude, it's been a long time. I'm about to lap the time I've been alive and I'm about to double it. In two years, I'll be. Oh, no, in a year, I'll be 36.
Starting point is 00:58:15 She does. I was 18. So you'll live most more of your life without her than with her. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. Think about I'm triple. Triple for three extra pops. Well, I kind of had this. I'm triple. Triple for pops? I'm 3X for pops. Whoa. I'm closing in on, I think I'm about to be the age my mom was when she died. Isn't that crazy? I turned the age my mom was when she had me and I was like, she shouldn't have had a kid.
Starting point is 00:58:38 I'm not mature. Yeah, my parents are too lit. I'm probably going to go ahead. Oh, I got beef. You got beef with your mom fucked it up in there. What? Oh, dude, he's he's the only one who said this. So I break her heart, bro. Say it. Because she's listening right now.
Starting point is 00:58:56 I forgot that she listens. It's going to hurt her. Now you have to say no. Talk about how she fucked it up. How everybody else loves it. I think that when you place a couch that is facing away from a television underneath the television, that it's just a terrible decision.
Starting point is 00:59:12 I think it considers that the space should be inviting for people to hang out. When a television is on, that couch isn't supposed to be sat on, and that's weird. When that television is on, and maybe it's like an exciting event to watch. But the listeners in the room, we have a new layout in our office. My beautiful mother came and spent her time on.
Starting point is 00:59:34 I'll vouch for that. Re- That she was here. Reorganized the room, got us new furniture, but she made a setup where this is the TV. Stop laughing. This is the TV and this is the couch that faces the TV another couch that faces that like this square situation another couch on this side so it's like a box before and after on Twitter the pictures don't help him because the she has a specific before and after picture where we have Aidan's
Starting point is 01:00:02 terrorist lighting on in there and then my good I mean your lighting does crack. It's really good Every single person who is not Aiden I've talked to them. I've interviewed them. I've gone up I said so which lighting do you prefer do you prefer the when the bright white lights are on or the new lighting and they Have the new lighting. It's a lot better. Yeah, it's great every single the employees here not the fucking fuckers the fucking fuckers Yeah, the fucking employees. Yeah, the heart and soul the heart and soul the heart and soul I'm talking so you think about that every fucking what I fucking ass right all prefer it The only guy who doesn't like them is him and he's always here. So they're always off. And he's the boss. He's like the comes in.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Doesn't it doesn't even turn on the other ones. No, that's because it's soft yellow lighting in a room where does it make you to work on it? Does it make you to eat? Be I think just that's part of it. Screens make them white. Their temperature control. It's also annoying when you need to read stuff like when you're opening mail. I guess we should. I'll give him that. I guess we should all have his mail light in the room. Is there, is there a, uh, like an agreement you'd come to?
Starting point is 01:01:13 A compromise. A compromise, if you will. They get turned on all the time. What if you have a little, like, desk lamp with the little pulley cord? They don't get turned on when he's here. Oh, and they're green. What if you had a green one? Somebody else can turn them on.
Starting point is 01:01:24 Oh, there it is. He just refuses to put the effort in. It's just crazy. It's so Swedish. So if you came in and they were on, the overhead lights were off, what would you do? Here's my thing. It's most of the time when these nice,
Starting point is 01:01:33 soft yellow lights get put on, they're like at the room, especially in the evening, with the, we're gonna block off the windows and stuff. He thinks they're yellow, because the ones that are here are the coolest white possible, by the way. These are on a temperature setting that would be considered white. OK, let him continue.
Starting point is 01:01:49 So when when when it's nighttime and the lights are on, I don't like sitting in rooms that feel dark when I'm looking at screens. So I just ask you, you come to this room and let's say Christian put on the soft lights. Yeah. Would you turn on the big lights? No. He would without thinking. Yes, he fucking would, bro. Well, he said he wouldn't. I've done it though. I've had them on and then he comes in and turns on the regular lights.
Starting point is 01:02:11 Bam. And then I go, oh, lives ruined. And you say... This has happened. Oh, I guess like... The opposite of what he's saying is what happens. Sorry, I mean like in the scenario that you outlined, I'm like,
Starting point is 01:02:29 Christian has intentionally if he talks to you about a reason. Yeah. But then you make someone else have to go, oh, he turned them on. Now I have to go either. Look, I'm fucking crazy. It's an office. I well, I think you're crazy to assume an office must necessarily have. Homophobic lighting, they call it. Yes. Default ceiling lighting. It's have homophobic lighting. They call it default ceiling lighting. It's called homophobic lighting. All the girlies know this and you're bisexual.
Starting point is 01:02:49 So you should. So I think I think that's that's an outdated thought. But I also think Aidan brings up good points that it could be too cozy. There's a real probably studies that have been done in lighting. That's a bit too cozy. I don't think that's kind of like what do you call it? So where is the where the office lights are probably eight thousand. Yeah. And then my lights are five thousand to six thousand.
Starting point is 01:03:11 I feel like they're yellow. I do too. It's I. But I'm definitely a bro. I think they're three. I think they're three. But they are closer to sunlight than they are to like anything on that spectrum or anything on the blue side. I think they're closer to three. I'm not saying I'm not trying to kill you here.
Starting point is 01:03:27 Well, it sounds like someone needs to figure some shit out. Hey, we'll experiment. Because liking homophobic lighting is a problematic character trait. That's a judgment on your character. You know what the problem with bisexual lighting is? It's hard to read letters with it. Wait, bisexual lighting is different. Why are you reading so many letters?
Starting point is 01:03:43 Bisexual color. Because it's a lot of mail. You're dealing with your taxes right now. That's actually good then I like that Dude, the the mail he's getting is crazy. Why it's just they send you charts It's kind of funny of what when the IRS is mad at you. They say a chart. This is damning for him This is where the lights are Okay, what is it? What's the number? I don't know but I mean this is just the spectrum. That's this is fucking warm That's cool. It doesn't have to do it. It's like almost dead center. It doesn't have to do with just like white
Starting point is 01:04:11 Also, you're aren't you right below that that white light? No, he's saying it's like that But I think I get what he's saying. It's the amount of light too. Yeah, it's more about the amount Well, I agree here. I agree that we could get more lights in there But it's a price if we just turn on the default ones every day, no one's gonna do it. Nick, this is an easy war to win. Okay. How do you win? By simply compromising and finding a better- Because it's only one corner that needs to be better lit.
Starting point is 01:04:36 It felt passive aggressive, I had this whole idea. You would fucking what? He shows up one day and I'm like, well I got you a light. Now switch to my system. Dude, and it looks like a spotlight. Oh, yeah, it's like a better question. How many offices have you ever been in where the one we were? Test out of yellow lights.
Starting point is 01:04:55 The one we were together. The one we worked out together. If I think through my office, you're on the summit. When I worked at the video, white content office. Oh, I mean, I didn't answer your question. Was a vibe. But we worked in the production office or sorry, the creative production office, which was categorically not a vibe. Ken Chen was there.
Starting point is 01:05:17 What if we do a Monday, Wednesday, Friday and it's and it's chill. How about this? No one's got it. My only compromise is this. This is, I just don't, this is my Don Draper moment. I don't think about this at all. I literally put zero thought into this. It's like, he's talking about the lights,
Starting point is 01:05:34 like it's something I do. No, no, no, that's not fair to say. And I'm in the elevator, it's like, I'm fucking. What would you say? The only, here's my compromise. If I need to read a letter, I'll turn the normal light on. How do you think it comes off that you don't think about it but everyone else prefers it
Starting point is 01:05:51 the other way? Well, because they only prefer it that way because you ask them the question, he doesn't even think about it. No, but I'm saying how do you think it comes off to everyone else that you do it the one way that's not preferred and you don't even think about it? I do it the way that has been, I was mulled by this office. You just said the way it's always been done. I lived a thousand years in this fucking office and I'll spend the next thousand here.
Starting point is 01:06:12 And he does it the way it's always been done. I was in that office when it was one desk in an empty room. That's not even a joke. That is true. You're trying to bring in gay lighting. I don't even work here. He's homophobic. I don't even work here. I got no joke. That is true. You're trying to bring in gay lighting. I don't even work here. He's homophobic. I don't even work here.
Starting point is 01:06:25 I got no say. Also, I think it's more it's I didn't do the survey after the fact. I've just, you know, people have walked in and said, oh, this is nice. But before he let me ask your director of content, Yengling, Yengling also didn't care. There was a bunch of people who worked here who didn't care. No, I disagree because I came in once and Nick wasn't here and Yingling was. And then he looks over at me from all the way down from his desk and he pulls his HyperX headphone off.
Starting point is 01:06:53 He's like, the lights in here are fucking vibe, huh? It's fucking vibe in here. Before they got installed. Can I read a message from an anonymous employee? Sure. I said, I took a picture of the light bulb on and I sent it to this anonymous employee. Sure. I said, I took a picture of the light bulb on and I sent it to this anonymous employee. I said, this is the new worst part of my day.
Starting point is 01:07:11 And then he replied, she or he replied, this is crazy person behavior. I almost sent you a video when I was leaving the other night. It's the best thing that happened to the office in so long. It's amazing. That's fine. Sincerely anonymous. That's fine.
Starting point is 01:07:34 That is fine. You know what? Look, I think I gotta say here. No, you don't. Why would you weigh in? You're not part of this, bro. This is a guy who don't work here and one day I'm here at the table. I'm I'm Iran and I'm coming to the table. Well, you've been spinning.
Starting point is 01:07:51 You've been spinning the centrifuges. Yeah, I'm quietly maybe. And I'm the United States. And I'm ready to compromise. I don't want to be Israel. So and sometimes Israel, I'm I'm. He's up with that pretty one to one. So let's move on.
Starting point is 01:08:06 I am Morocco. Okay. And you just kind of squeaked in the room. Lovely weather this time. I'm just in the room and I'm happy to be here. What are we talking about, boys? I really don't want to be Israel. Right, you're Israel and you're from there.
Starting point is 01:08:20 But it's you. No, my compromise is as long as I can read my letters. Bro, the guy who's been putting off getting glasses can't read. Can I say it? Oh, do you need glasses? Yeah, probably. We all know this. I mean, it's not like fucking awful. Like I can read the sign in that room. Yeah, that's giant letters. I know, like I can read this.
Starting point is 01:08:41 I can read this? Yeah, yeah. What is it? But they're getting worse. They're getting worse. Middle finger. Middle finger. Dude, you fucking cheated! Yeah, he wouldn't have known? What is it? What is it? Middle finger. Dude you fucking cheated! What the fuck?
Starting point is 01:08:52 It could have been this. Remember when you do this to adults? Oh yeah you don't know what finger I'm doing. Mother trucker. Look, we can put a pin in this, we can wrap this up. My little poor eyeballs. They get a little strained in dark rooms. I when I'm looking at screens.
Starting point is 01:09:10 I think this is reasonable. I think we can try both. We can do a trial. A trial by combat. A trial. OK. You propose. All right. A trial by combat's been called.
Starting point is 01:09:19 Who is your soldier? We'll go to the call and buy. He's not a soldier. He's not he's not the soldier. You can ask for your own soldier. Oh, I can he's not his own soldier? He's not the soldier? You can ask for your own soldier. Oh, I can pick anyone? You have a champion.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Show up by combat so you can pick a champion. Similar to D.D. Green and Lil Rodney's son, you could pick your own fighter. Okay, I pick Patty the Batty, the MMA fighter. Well, you had to pick someone that you can get. He has to agree. Yes. So, yeah. Hey.
Starting point is 01:09:42 Yeah, I'm thinking. And if you pick someone, they must instantly, you have to instantly call them. Well, who's his guy? Well, he goes second. Kabeep. You can't get him, bro. Dude, I'm tight. He's been a dog ascent.
Starting point is 01:09:52 Hey, here, here, here. Yeah, I just saw the options. So many options. Who do you want? I'll go slime. You gotta pick someone, slime or smaller. Phase Rizz. Phase Rizz?
Starting point is 01:10:00 Shake Drizzle? I'll go slide ah You're a someone and slime or smaller face Riz These rich a drizzle. Yeah, phase Riz. Hey drizzle hasn't worked out in damn six months. I'm fucking out He has two bum shoulders. Yeah, I know he has a bum shoulders. That's why he's worked out He's gonna fucking kill that I know cuz you train on the bag with his face on it I've been training. Why are you picking a bad matchup for trying to be really funny what do I really lose here I put on like slightly less bright lights about the lights yeah I think you run a trial with the what do you what's your opinion
Starting point is 01:10:36 oh I don't think I've seen the lights I don't think I've been here since they let me go you know that's what I'm saying like I have to experience it I would imagine I would prefer the low lighting because what my experience in the office. I don't work here is I I don't I don't it is. I work downstairs in my little mushroom in a bright. Well, that one's in a bright room. That room is lit. The lighting of that is really nice except for when I like my shirt was lit by cinema lighting. But another the default lights in that room are worse than the other.
Starting point is 01:11:11 How about this? We do trial by combat and the winner gets to choose the lights, but the loser also has to get the Drake Abbey implants. I pick Ludwig for it. I change my mind. Ludwig? OK, let's go. I could never swing on him. What? I would. I would. You could never swing. Think about all the things he's done.
Starting point is 01:11:26 I hugged slime twice today and us neither once. You're that's not OK. That's not fair because I hug you the most. Well, no, I'm saying that he I'm saying he hugged him twice. Yeah. And he didn't hug either of us. When he when he came back for seconds, I was like, oh, you hugged. I like that. It's crazy. You know what? Cutie said to him on stream and I heard it
Starting point is 01:11:45 She was like you don't hug Nick enough And he came here and hugged slime twice I thought it'd be two on the nose if I hugged you Yeah, I thought I'd hug slime this week the next week I'd hug you and make more sense. Yeah, I'm waiting, bro You know now you asked him to get the flowers. So how good are the flowers flowers? You're gonna there be smell like shit Roses really smell like poo. Yeah, they don't smell great. It's sad.
Starting point is 01:12:08 You know this is my last week being 20? Yeah. This is the last yard episode ever. You're the last one of us to turn 30. It's kind of weird. Yeah. You're gonna quit? You're gonna quit when you turn 30?
Starting point is 01:12:19 Yeah, when I'm 30. Too many unks, huh? Yeah, no, it's time to start working on my garden. Okay, this is from a couple weeks ago. Yeah, when I'm 30. Too many unks, huh? Yeah, no, it's time to start working on my garden. Oh, fire. This is from a couple weeks ago. We were, you know, I was having a conversation with Ludwig about the future of the company and what he wants to do. And we've been through this pattern of every,
Starting point is 01:12:37 you know, he'll say, like, I want to do this for five more years, or I want to do this for two more years. And we'll kind of get to the end of that period of time. And you guys know that he'll be like, I want to keep going. Five more years of coal in the machine of get to the end of that period of time. And you guys know that he'll be like, I want to keep going. Five more years of coal in the machine. Five more years. Five more years of shoveling coal in.
Starting point is 01:12:49 So we had this conversation recently about, you know, where, you know, it's kind of all going from here. And you said it again, you were like, I think I'm ready to push and do this for another five years. I like what I do, which is, which was awesome. And so we have an all, we have a company, All Hands. We bring everybody together. And keep in mind before this All Hands,
Starting point is 01:13:07 when we had prepped and we had talked about this conversation, he's like, it's time for everybody to kick it in gear. We're gonna ramp things up. We're gonna become a better, more collaborative company. It's gonna be a Ludwig Summer. Sorry. Xbox 360 Summer. Internal Ludwig Summer, external Xbox 360 Summer.
Starting point is 01:13:23 It's just a label. You need internal messaging and external messaging. Yeah. Summer's everywhere, dude. Thank you. And... Nope. So we...
Starting point is 01:13:32 So there's a gap of two days between when we meet and when we finally do the all heads with everybody. Ludwig steps up in front of everyone. We don't usually do it in person. Everybody's actually in person, not on the call. And Ludwig is like, all right, everybody, like, we got everybody here. All right, so it's, these are our goals. This is what we're going to do.
Starting point is 01:13:53 It's going to be a sunset summer. And keep in mind, this is after us. Like, there's an important all hands, meet in person, you have to be here. The company's like freaking out. I'm trying to tell people that like, no one's getting laid off. is after us like like there's an important all hands meeting person. You have to be here. The company is like freaking out. I'm trying to tell people that like no one's getting laid off. Like this is not a big deal.
Starting point is 01:14:10 We just want to talk. We just want to talk. And then he leads. He leads the conversation after like three days of people like theorizing if they're going to get laid off or not, which is explicitly not what was going to happen. Right. And he's like, it's going to be a sunset summer, guys. Can't say that's what you said to the room. You can't room can't say that so this summer when the twilight of our years. Let's go out the bank
Starting point is 01:14:32 Yeah So the plan is the same but you called it sunset summer Right, okay, Dries. We don't know how long as we'll go. We're going at least five years. It's a sunset summer Pack your bags in case, but we should be good How about how about we do it a company all hands and it's we split up people who like the old lights Person who likes the new lights and we finally find it out Yeah, a company all hands two sides the people who like the lining and the guy who's indifferent This is what there's no war Sounds like a word. Yeah, we would think indifferent would land on tails sometimes you would think it's always heads. It's always heads
Starting point is 01:15:16 It's weird. That's always heads or indifferent. It does seem to lean one way you'd think maybe it's the light switches to put their next to each other So it's like you know why why everybody watches the cozy lighting bro? Nobody works. Nobody works. Maybe this was my whole ass coin. And I'm gonna boot into Premiere right after this. I got some points to lose motherfucker. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:15:39 He uses the white lights even when playing video games. I know it is kinda gross. To give it to Aiden, sometimes lights are just something you slam on I sleep with the lights on Do that so gross? Crazy this is when you peel it back in the other direction every night What what sleep with lights on every night because you're afraid of the dark? No, I just like it like the overhead light No, I have an Ikea lamp. That's actually very warm and it feels very cozy But it's my main light you've seen it and you sit and you see oh like the yeah the long one
Starting point is 01:16:10 Yeah, looks like a damn. It's good. You know, it's funny. It's called the whole mo. I like that Yeah, and you sleep that on every night every night even if you have somebody over Sometimes she makes me turn it off. That was actually really I was she's like, can you turn off the light? I'm like any new pay your like clenching. Yeah Sometimes she makes me turn it off. That was actually really, she was like, can you turn off the light? I'm like, you're like clenching. Yeah, I love to do that. That's fucking fine. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:31 I mean, that's, she's right to ask that you were weird for having the light on. I mean, I did it immediately. I accept that. But I'm sorry. You said sometimes. So do you keep trying to keep the light on? Look, I just leave the light on. So you're Aided in this situation. She wants to keep the light on? Look, I just leave the light on. So you're Aiden in this situation.
Starting point is 01:16:48 And she wants to turn the light off. I can't believe you're not on Nick's side here. You're on Aiden's side. If she wants to turn it off. I'm gonna be honest with you, I want to leave my side. I'll take it all back. Now that I've heard this. That's what slime is, cause slime won't put the work in.
Starting point is 01:17:01 He'll do the opposite thing. It's hard to look in the mirror, huh? No, okay, here's the real truth is when she- She would ask you every day. No, she likes, she doesn't like watching movies with the light on, so I turn it off automatically. I just do that. I don't wait for her to ask.
Starting point is 01:17:14 But if she falls asleep and the lights are on, I'm not gonna go over and turn it off. It's game time. So you watch a movie, you turn the light back on. No, no, no, it's like sometimes we watch movies, sometimes we don't. Okay. She likes to lock in for movies. Yes.
Starting point is 01:17:28 Seinfeld is a lights on experience. I will say because he's sleeping on the floor. So she's sleeping on the floor. I imagine he's not sleeping. Yeah. Okay, cute. We just know. That is cute.
Starting point is 01:17:39 They're not in the room. But this room is pretty dimly lit. His room he's talking about is pretty dark. Well, also if you're on the floor, the light hits different. Real. My. You're on the floor. Oh, why did you go for the Nick? I thought you're supposed to do too.
Starting point is 01:17:52 I don't know. That was a train. Can you censor that Archie actually? No, I didn't. No, no, no. I think it's. Show them. Yeah, take that out. It might get demonetized.
Starting point is 01:18:00 It was shaped this way, but it was the Nick. So yeah, it was interesting. That's two 30 year old men trying to get different. Speak to that. It was shaped this way, but it was the Nick. So yeah, it was interesting. That's two 30 year old men trying to get different. Speak to that. Well, the lower you are, the less the light affects you. It's like heat rises. Light goes up. Light.
Starting point is 01:18:14 No light sinks. Lights, but it sinks slow. It sinks low. It's heavy. Lights very heavy. There's less light because it has to travel Nick. Think about it. Okay, I'm flinking about it.
Starting point is 01:18:23 So like if you have a light that points up it reflects off the wall and then you have less light on the floor if you're on the roof that would be so bright so bright what if the ceiling's a mirror then it would reflect yeah that's in Pokemon that's called trick room oh what's your stats yeah and then the slow people go faster the faster the portal well a red portal that Well, if it's a red portal, that means... And the blue portal's in my heart. Then you'd go through your heart, you'd kill yourself. If there was a red portal that went into your heart, which had a blue portal, I would just pour Gatorade into it and flood your heart with Gatorade.
Starting point is 01:18:56 Oh, that'd be so nice. And I would solve your sickness. It'd probably feel so good. It'd be cool, ice blue Gatorade. Gatorade through your heart? I think you get an instant stroke. No, it's good for you We select Gatorade. Electrolytes. Yeah, I got a heat check you in nozzle tip or regular tip Gatorade. Do you care? Do you urge it all the same talking about twist off versus nozzle versus like the regular Gatorade you just drink from? I prefer the regular
Starting point is 01:19:22 Less maintenance what What maintenance? I don't like the way you have to get the plastic off the tip top. So you're talking about the work beforehand. Yeah, just let me get to it. I like sucking on something good. And when it's sweet comes out. When you suck on the Gatorade and sweet goes in your mouth. With the nozzle tip, I like when you unscrew the cap and it's got the little white part.
Starting point is 01:19:44 You have to take your teeth. I hate hate that. I hate that. That's worse I love that part. I get through it cuz I like sucking on it. It's the stope Like on the white part. No other part. I chew on the white part sometimes you led with it. That's weird You're weird nozzle and I for some reason I just instantly thought this was gonna be a question about Super Mario So try nozzle tip. Am I crazy to say Gatorade sucks. Yeah, you are. We should carry water. We'd be killed in 30 countries. Yeah, cookies are bad. Sweet.
Starting point is 01:20:10 You're an idiot. Yeah. So sweet. It's supposed to be. It's not supposed to be like a casual. You just spent a week eating ice cream. What the fuck are you talking about? Like at least I'm eating fucking ice cream. You're saying that Gatorade doesn't give you the ice cream, but it gives you the same consequences.
Starting point is 01:20:24 It's work. It's the same consequences with none of the joy. You don't work, you don't sweat. That's why you need it. After soccer practice every day for four years, I drink an Arnold Palmer. That's also sweet. That's so weird. What are you 60 years old? It's not for the sugars, is it? Uh-huh. I mean, if you're playing like intense sports, having quick access to sugar, that's what
Starting point is 01:20:51 you do. I thought the rehydration is mainly about the salt. It's the electrolytes and the sugar to give you energy. I thought sweating Gatorade was real. It is fucking real. We just can't see it with our eyes, but they use the special cameras for the commercials. Oh my god. I don't like like the 3D glasses. It's just like 3D glasses.
Starting point is 01:21:10 That was invented by Ludwig. A Ludwig? Yeah, Ludwig invented 3D glasses. They're kind of money. He's probably top 10. You know, there were like that was like a hipster phase, like little Debbie, like wearing them 3D glasses. Yeah, the glasses with no lenses in them. What was the first? Do you remember the first movie you saw them 3D glasses and shit. Yeah, with the glasses with no lenses in them. What was the first, do you remember the first movie you saw with 3D glasses? I think mine was Spy Kids 3D.
Starting point is 01:21:30 Yeah, same. It might have been Spy Kids 3D. Mine was Avatar 1. Really? Yeah. That's probably the only one I remember. I feel like I saw one before that. I don't really give a shit about 3D.
Starting point is 01:21:39 Remember 3D TVs? Such a giant trend that just flopped. Why don't you know what the fuck a 3D TV is? It's a home television that has access to 3D. Oh, you access to 3D. 3D flopped in general. It was so annoying It was also so rare to watch a movie where it actually like was cool. Yeah, there were like four movies It was like the virtual boy of movies. Yeah They kept it for so long. Is VR a gimmick or legit? In what way?
Starting point is 01:22:01 Well, you know like 3D movies were a gimmick. again as an industry yeah, I think VR is gonna have its place Yeah, I don't think it'll be Like I don't think it's gonna be what the VR heads want it to be which is like everyone's got goggles in their home Yeah, it's our primary form of media consumption. I think it's too immersive. I think like it's good for like certain types of gaming It's good for like I think it'll be at amusement parks. Like we'll probably have crazy VR experiences. Dude, they have that. It sucks at Universal.
Starting point is 01:22:32 The Simpsons ride. No, the Mario ride. Oh, no, that's AR. No, that's XR. Yeah. Cross Reality? I thought it was AR? I don't think it's AR.
Starting point is 01:22:40 I think that's what AR is. Augmented Reality? That's what it is. Cross Reality is when it's augmented and virtual I don't remember which one it is it might be AR But yeah, you just wear glasses and you see things that you wouldn't know the cart ride Yeah, the Mario that was one of them. It's truly one of the most disappointing things. Yeah, that was really my entire life When we had the fast pass like we didn't have to wait as long as ever She was so asked seeing the other people that presumably waited three hours to get on that ride for something that was maybe one of the worst entertainment experiences I've ever.
Starting point is 01:23:13 You can still see out of your periphery. You can see like all the stuff that's not working. Yeah. Just the room and then in here it's like red. So I could barely see the things you were supposed to see. Yeah, that's pretty bad. I remember thinking that specifically, too. Also, next time you're at the Spider-Man ride, I think that's at Disneyland.
Starting point is 01:23:30 That's a California adventure, yeah. Next time you're on California Adventure on the web slingers. If you ever notice when you're wearing the glasses, you can see your own eyeballs in the reflection of the glasses. Also there's secret gold spiders hiding around that give you 10,000 points. There's also secret spiders in your skin, and they crawl around at night. So, try to find one. And the only way you can get them out of your skin is to join the revolution.
Starting point is 01:23:53 Join the revolution now. Join the Patreon too, because after this we're going to have another episode. Is that the revolution? And that's the revolution. It's the content revolution. We're revolutionizing. We are revolting against media as you know it and cerebral thoughts as you know them.
Starting point is 01:24:09 But only on the paywalls of the Patreon. Yeah, it requires your patronage. You do need to pay to join the revolution. The revolution has a fee. Yeah. It's not UNICEF. The revolution won't be free. And we like to freestyle. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah
Starting point is 01:24:28 Is this the end of the episode? Okay. Yeah, we're going fucking freestyle. Yeah You want me to get you in? No, I'll be driving. They call me Tyler to Aiden McKay He's a gay dude. Okay, progressive rap. And that's progressive hip-hop for your head top. And we'll see all you guys in the Patreon for more.
