Starting point is 00:00:00 You know, Kelby said the nicest thing he ever said to me today. Yeah, what is that? He said, because he was talking about, I've been playing league, me and Nick, and we've been crashing out, I've been crashing out like fucking crazy. Nick has slight crash outs, but they are crashouts. but they are crash house on the less. I go through his on band forms. I don't think he knows how to access them
Starting point is 00:00:33 because I just like to look at them. I don't deny or accept. He didn't even know those forms. Yeah, but I look at them and I can see what the person said. And it's literally just like LOL 2,000 gold and no back or something like that.
Starting point is 00:00:47 It's very fun. It's like just, you know, being an asshole about how he's playing and I'm like, ooh, Nick banned that. I like that. I go through yours and it's like 10 people and all they've typed is a 07. Or are you like, what's your favorite song?
Starting point is 00:01:02 Ah, no. I explain myself now. I have this new air. Oh my God. I'm going to talk about my personal journey of emotions through the lens of the video game without talking about the video game specifically. Are we okay with that audience?
Starting point is 00:01:15 Okay, check box yes if you say yes. All right. So I've been in a great mindset lately where I give people like Aiden does the benefit of the doubt. I swear to God. I'm looking at the world through, like how like a fan would. I'm speaking less. I'm listening more. You know all the shits that's been happening in the world? I don't tweet anymore. I just type it out on my
Starting point is 00:01:37 phone. Don't tweet it out. And I'm like, this is so much less stressful. Tylenol-Mexing. I'm Tylenol-Mexing. Yeah, yeah, I walk on my toes. So what? And I'm like, this is, this is such an interesting, like, new perspective for me that's being consistent. This is awesome. It was someone, because I was watching slime all day yesterday. and someone I was watching both of you guys but someone's on the TV and someone goes in China
Starting point is 00:02:03 I get the TV I literally I said that's a TV choice I said that's the TV stream mine's the cell phone in the pocket you can listen to some of the audio someone pops in chat and they say I love Yard D&D I listen to every episode
Starting point is 00:02:20 I just have a question I wonder why you guys are rolling with digital dice instead of physical ones this is where you did chime in I remember that and and slime goes not the Todd. Appreciate it. Not the time. Just not going to answer that. No, here's what I said. And it's very similar, but I said... You have a large boogie. I have to point it out. Oh, thank you. Okay, Archie censor that.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Wipe it on the chair. Wipe it on the chair. I'm going to wipe it on my leg. It's just, it's wet boogie. It's not... Yeah, that's grosser. Yeah, I think it makes me feel worse because he has like a fabric chair and not a metal one. I didn't. I didn't do it. I want to know. I am very sweet. I want to do it, but I'm trying to pick a thing I can do it with. See, you have to pick other countries. Whoa, Brandon brand. Deodorant wipes. So yeah. So anyway, what I said was, hey, man, that's really awesome. I'm having the worst day of League of all time that I could ever experience. I don't really want to talk about whether or not we do that. But if you come and find me and catch me on a day where I'm not feeling like this, I will sit and I will talk to you about D&D. Do you know this guy replied? Okay, okay, I get it. No, he said, no problem. Yeah, and I was like, I was like, all you got to do is explain your thoughts. You explain your thoughts, everything will be okay.
Starting point is 00:03:36 You're such a sweet boy. And that's the part of me that is being more explicative of like, okay, maybe I'm pissy, but I'm going to sit with you and be like, and you know what I say a lot? It's not your fault. It's not your fault. You don't know that I'm upset right now, and that's okay, and it's not your fault. I've been, I, and then they just say my bad, and I'm like, all right. I have been with you.
Starting point is 00:03:56 I think it's funny, though, is that the same. way you remember your own like highlights is like the same way you think like everyone in league is toxic because of the three guys in chat because there is a mountain of crash outs under that one moment under that one moment of clarity it's everyone was there I mean this is a good question right if we if we fully explain are the reasons behind our emotions does it absolve us from displaying them Oh my God, can I do your on band forms today? They're, I do them.
Starting point is 00:04:31 I have dessert after the stream and I do them. Why don't you leave them for a day and let him do it? Wait, wait, wait, but can, just let dub and, oh, yeah. Oh, sure, sure, sure, yeah. Just let me eat today. You could have the dessert. You could have. So you're going to play league today.
Starting point is 00:04:44 And then I want to eat your dessert after. And I get to choose. Dude, you're, you're edging. So it's that most better when you, when you beat off at night. Dude, I almost, he's like, he's separating the Oreo. He's separating the Oreo. And then he just leaves a pile of cream for after. Creams later.
Starting point is 00:05:00 And he just fuck the creams. He takes a spook. Just the cookie right now. And I bet some days he goes through more Oreos than he should because he's being bad because he's like, oh, I'll have more cream later. Okay. I don't mean, I had a salad yesterday. I do like the idea of being like so upset and that, but you're, you're banning people with the intention of giving yourself dessert later. I don't think you're doing that, but the idea of like, is like, I'm going to.
Starting point is 00:05:27 I think you are. I think you slow stroke it when you read the apologies in the unband forms. Sometimes I tell them if you clutch the unband form, welcome back. I literally say this is your chance and sometimes like you're real fucking mean. Sometimes they talk about the shit that they know about me in my personal life that like I'd rather not talk about as a way to hurt me. There was a guy. I don't remember what he said. Maybe you will. He said something on the lines of like, yo bro, you ever. You ever. in your lane homie and then you band him and you're like you don't talk like that in real life and then you pause and you're like maybe you do no there was a guy there was a guy who was just talking like I know I was like you don't talk like that real life what I often say if someone is mad I love how this is so fun to talk about for you guys I
Starting point is 00:06:15 I can talk about it all day this is my dessert because sometimes dessert in the morning dessert for breakfast we could the day through the psychology we all of Anthony Bruno we aren't watching like me and Yingo we're not watching us on the TV necessarily for the
Starting point is 00:06:33 top lane gameplay I don't know if this is breaking news but I understand well Kelby like I said he said the because he's like okay slime
Starting point is 00:06:41 so when you lose a fight in top lane and then you run right back to lane and fight again are you tilted do you think that's good and I'm like
Starting point is 00:06:51 okay a rude question to ask I just woke up he's like right before we do the pot and and he's like but I told them I was like because I was like sometimes man my champ wins those fights I'm not just I am tilted but it's like I'm taking a calculated fucking
Starting point is 00:07:05 coin flip that is weighted toward there and I'm going for it he's like oh so you're not just like running it down it's like no I'm not running it down it looks like that but sometimes I win those and it's like calculating my coin flip damn still 50 50 let's run it it's called the weighted coin flip and they're real anyway so but you know
Starting point is 00:07:22 you know in like in the phantom menace when when quigons like turn to move the dice with the forest he's like he thinks he's doing that yeah it's just a guy doing this
Starting point is 00:07:32 at fucking Vegas no you know what it is it's quite on trying to do a mind trick on Wado who died the Tridarian who is you cannot do Jedi mind tricks
Starting point is 00:07:41 on a Tridarian yeah you can't and the top plane is Wado and you keep thinking one time your Jedi Mind Trick will work because it's worked
Starting point is 00:07:49 on so many and he's a slave owner so think about that anyway so it's his moral obligation to win the land you can't say Kelby
Starting point is 00:07:56 within a five yard distance of what. Yeah, he's too pale. He'll slow down. Kelby said to me, he's like, okay, well, I mean, when you get mad, it's very entertaining. And I was like, okay, good.
Starting point is 00:08:07 I'm glad. I'm glad there's some value at it. What did he message me yesterday, bro? Because he messaged me. The whole gang was watching me. What he said was, and what I found very touching, because I guess I'm an insane Tylenol luncher, is that he said,
Starting point is 00:08:21 you're, I was like, I'm not making it up. I'm not playing it up. I'm really that mad at a video game and that everyone's laughing at me. And he said, your natural state then is very entertaining. And that was the nicest thing he ever said to me.
Starting point is 00:08:36 He wrote to me, bro, the willpower. I'm exerting to not type in Slime's chat during any of these games. And I wrote, it's upsetting. And that was our conversation. Your willpower? I'm always nice to you. Huh?
Starting point is 00:08:49 No, no. Kelby said that. No, Kelby said the willpower to not type. Because you know Kelby thinks evil thoughts. Kelby wants to usually type the first thing, it'll push your buttons. I know. But then usually gauges whether that will send you into a death spiral. You can get away with anything in that chat.
Starting point is 00:09:03 I, well, sometimes you just get sad. So I don't want to make them sad. I do. But, bro. And you're a sad industry package. I get it. I want to say everyone is vindicated for the years that they watched me and they said that I am like an Instagram ad that's bad on purpose to make people play the game.
Starting point is 00:09:20 I get it because everything I am. Oh, my God. I see through you. Yeah. You are, we are the same. During your Mario speed run yesterday when chat was like, is this a first time playthru?
Starting point is 00:09:30 That was really funny. Yeah. No, is this a blind playthru? Against Zane? Yeah, I got fucking crushed by Zane. You got crushed by Zane?
Starting point is 00:09:38 Hasn't Zane been playing for like a week? Yeah, Zay's been playing for five days and I boot up the game. It wasn't close. And I get shit on. What? He PBs in the race. Like he gets his best ever run in the race.
Starting point is 00:09:49 Wait, how is that possible? You got a 19 minute run pretty good. It was pretty good. Is it 16? It was 16 star Well, it's possible, Aiden, because He understands nothing about the game He's a fucking idiot when it comes to this game
Starting point is 00:10:02 Okay But there's one line that if he takes Where, like, if he just perfectly fucking Walks between these two buildings On this line, he's a god What's the line? It's the 16 star line that he knows It's the 16 stars. He doesn't know a 17th star
Starting point is 00:10:16 Yeah, he couldn't tell you it That's so funny Okay, well You're like 17 stars Zane and he's like Alright, I'll find one. If I said, go to Tall Tall Mountain for a billion dollars and you can't have help, it would take, it would, it would take them years. Jumping into the paintings that don't have stages. This is like, you'd be guessing, is this Toltoll Mountain?
Starting point is 00:10:36 This is cope, because it's like, it's like getting mad at a competitive melee player for like not knowing all the trophies. No, no, for not knowing all the characters. He didn't, he didn't know that you couldn't lock Mew if you left your fucking console on. That's where he's at. But, but he has this one line where he has this one line where he, he's really good and he won. And he made me, I have to write an essay now.
Starting point is 00:10:58 That was the stake. Is it 200 words? I have to write a five paragraph essay about how Zane is the melee goat over a hungry box. This is genius. It doesn't even make sense. It's like, why would that be the conversation?
Starting point is 00:11:11 Why was that the conversation? Where's mango in this conversation? I don't know what to fucking and I can't use AI. Because there's, I feel like there's, it's so hard to find an amount of money that you could both do that would hurt you.
Starting point is 00:11:24 But this uses your time. Time is the best thing. And your time being taken away from you, Dumban, you don't like that. So funny, because Zame was supposed to race Armada, who would have crushed Zame?
Starting point is 00:11:35 Yeah, I think they would have done like some odds bet for sure. It would have been like... And so he found a guy he can beat. Bro, I thought I was going to beat his ass. Dude, before the race, you're like, first round, I'm going to go for some dumb shit.
Starting point is 00:11:48 I'll go for dumb shit the first race. Then you were like three stars behind in the first four minutes. Was it like a best of three? It was a best of three, but I paid to like be exonerated of two games. So it was basically a best of five. Oh my God, wait.
Starting point is 00:12:03 So you, it's when you lose the best of three and you have best of five. Yes. He hit him with, it wasn't even best of five because he hit him with all the marbles one match. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:12:13 And then quit halfway through. Because I still got fucking cream. Dude, it was actually a day of L's. The, the, between the streams. Because after the stream, you were like, oh, I want to play this new game. And you're like, oh, where's my code for the gate? All the other streamers have codes. Lovey's the only one without a code.
Starting point is 00:12:29 Dude, everyone was playing this game. I thought the game was out because I've been playing the game. He's tweeting at devolver. Did I get a code? It's a devolver game and they didn't hit you up? Bennett Foddy made a new game. The guy made getting over. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:42 First game in eight years. And you didn't get one? I didn't get a code. That's actually kind of crazy because he made you. Much fucking dick I've been putting in. To be fair, you're, you're owed a code. I'm, I'm what I'm saying? Anyway, they got me a code, which is sick.
Starting point is 00:12:54 I play it for an hour. As I'm playing it, I, like, trigger a cutscene. On my screen, it says, kernel error, and the whole fucking computer shuts down from the game. Nice. The whole computer shuts down. Yes, the whole fucking bitch shut down. And then I open it back up, and they didn't save.
Starting point is 00:13:15 And so I'm Gigi. They lost you. They lost me. They lost me. They lost you on stream. They lost me. And you know what? They shouldn't have given you a code.
Starting point is 00:13:21 They shouldn't have given me a code, bro. Damn, yeah, that sucks. Is that the one where, like, you're moving your guy with every limb and he looks all weird? Yeah, it's like 3D quop, and he looks like fucking doc o'clock. Yeah. But fat or, and he got a divorce. The Tylenol walk. He's sad.
Starting point is 00:13:37 It was kind of like a Tylenol walk. Pose only, baby. Oh, his attention is up. I unfortunately think this has some legs. It might be telling Tylenolol jokes a year for me. Kind of controversial opinion Trying to reverse autism Kind of the dopest thing
Starting point is 00:13:53 He's ever tried to do Going against Big Pharma For once he has a goal Yeah, that isn't the worst thing in the world I like how he's tackling Tylenol too That's a big one Yeah, dude It's crazy
Starting point is 00:14:04 He's not going for an eaves show Dude, do you know what he's saying Tylenol Because it's easier to say Than acetamine Yeah That's why he keeps saying it Yeah
Starting point is 00:14:13 So he's saying a brand Which is crazy It's like the fucking president Go like Pepsi's bad Yeah And it's like What the Fuck.
Starting point is 00:14:20 Lo-key. There's definitely some people where they're getting their generic acetymedophon and they're like, well, this is fine. This is fine. This is not Tylenol.
Starting point is 00:14:30 Trump said Tylenol. I fuck my sister tonight. Everything's gonna be fine. We're going against Big Pharma and everyone's like, okay. I like that. It's like, Tylenol's first.
Starting point is 00:14:38 We're like, yeah, all right. Yeah, it's bad for you. We all know that. Bad for you. Dude, it's giving you autism. Hold on.
Starting point is 00:14:48 Back up. Why? It's also the Rapture today. Yeah. So, I'm afraid to play my league matches today during the Rapture. I'm not feeling maybe I should skip a day. Well,
Starting point is 00:15:01 no, I think maybe it could be good because the last time when I hit Platt, it was also the Rapture is when California was on fire. So I think it, I think in a way it makes the Rift a safe place. Wow. A safe place,
Starting point is 00:15:14 but all the righteous are pulled up? Yeah, that's why that's why the Rift is a safe place. safe place because there's no one righteous on the rift. So everyone's the same? Everyone's the same on the rift. You're all evil once you go to Summoner's Rift. When autism's finally gone, where'd all the cinch players go?
Starting point is 00:15:32 Why are they going? Why don't have Shako players in the game anymore? It's so weird. Just say that about any character. Why's everyone playing Vex now? Aiden Ross is back on Twitch, too. Yeah, they just... Aidan Ross is back.
Starting point is 00:15:46 Dude, I got to comp... My SEO, it's crumpling. Yeah, you're... Yeah, you are fucked. Oh, yeah. Do you know for years when I would say, hey, Siri, call Aiden, it would call Aiden Ross. Just knew the more famous number. Dude.
Starting point is 00:15:59 It would just every time call Aiden. That's crazy, because I've, surely we have called each other more. I mean, yeah, but I don't think. So why wouldn't it default to me? I don't think she, I don't, I'm actually more surprised that for years you've been calling Aiden. Well, you've been called me in years. I haven't got a phone call for you in years. We've called.
Starting point is 00:16:18 Oh, yeah, we've called, right? What's like one thing we've talked about? One thing that you've talked about in my defense. You're already on the... Yes, I'm on the back foot. I'm on the back foot. Okay. In my defense, he's a silent consent.
Starting point is 00:16:32 Usually not fun out of the blue calls to see what Aiden's up to. This is usually... For years is what you said? Yes, Aidan's been working me for years. It is true. I have been working for years. Because when he was doing just merch, you were like, hey, Aden, how's the merch going? Just want to drop in on that one.
Starting point is 00:16:49 Let's check. Can I give some feedback on the merch loads? Can I not be a CEO for a second? One of my favorite things about Aiden and Ludwig's relationship is, is the picture, you know that picture of the drawn woman just begging a man? And she's like screaming like, babe, please. Yes, yes, yes. It's just, Ludwig, please approve these designs.
Starting point is 00:17:12 Please. God. He has to just look at the designs. And there's a lot of shit he doesn't do that he needs to do right away. but this is the particular one because it's like, I would consider it the more fun one and he's like, please just fucking approve the fucking designs
Starting point is 00:17:26 and then Ludwig will go and be like, I don't like any of these and you see Aiden's like his eye just twitches and he can't fucking deal with it. That wasn't one of the choices. False psychotomy. False dichotomy, but yeah, yeah. No, whatever you want, babe. See, now he's Tyler. You turned him into Tyler.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Tyler. Braden. I'm like the Hulk. If you get too tilting my love You wouldn't like me when I have a four loco Yeah, it's Bloodwig also The merch will come out
Starting point is 00:17:58 For instance, these basketball shorts Which are very comfortable I love those basketball shorts Shut up! Shut up! You just be quiet And let him talk about it I don't want to hear about it He'll It'll come out and he'll be like
Starting point is 00:18:11 I don't really like that one So he like won't promote it Out of like Not protest but he just doesn't like it. He doesn't like a design that went from start to finish. That's not true. No, I think actually a better, I think the best example, because the best example we have is of the blue jacket we did for his bakery drop, which is actually really nice. I think it came out really well. Love that jacket. We had spent so long on that drop. We spent like nine months designing it. Ludwig has like a hand in like looking at things and improving things through the whole process. We've gotten the final version of the jacket and it has, a blue stitching on top of a blue jacket,
Starting point is 00:18:50 which depending on whether or not you want it to blend in, tonal, tonal, you know, you may or may not like that better than if the stitching was like white, right? And Ludwig sees this like two weeks before it's gonna go out, and he's like, why do we do that? And I'm like, and I looked him in the eye, my world's crumbling around me. I look at him and I was like, you, you approved it.
Starting point is 00:19:12 You told me, it was funny. You told me Ludwig, and you said, I like it. No, no, no, no, no. You said it's okay. I'm not responsible for my past decision. I got an idea for you. Who is? I look at everything with fresh eyes. It's one of my greatest qualities.
Starting point is 00:19:29 Which, unfortunately, is a little true. And that's what I hate about that statement. I have fresh eyes every time I look at something because I forget everything I've done. It's true? And in every drop, you need to embroider something onto the tag. Like, I'm Ludwig and I'm a pedophile. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:44 Or, you know, I'm Ludwig and I'm a mass murderer. Or like a swastika. Or like a swastika. And every drop, Ludwig must tell you to remove it, but he has to know what it is in order to get it removed before it goes out. You have to find it. He has to find it and say remove the swatsika. And you'd like, of course.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Or why we want that to go out? He would just get really good at identifying shapes. Like he would find a way to short change this and be like, yeah, there is found it. Okay, get it out of there. And then two weeks before the drop, why is it blue on blue? Pretty soon when autism's gone, we're going to need. more people to be good at shapes. So, I'll lock that down for y'all.
Starting point is 00:20:21 And I'll keep a secret bottle of that shit on me at all times. Pop a title like it's the invincible pill. The pill I took an Ibiza. How was, how was the, I didn't watch a damn minute of the camp. CP? You weren't watching any CP? There's no way. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:42 Camp peak, right. Yep. It's, I didn't, no, I didn't. I didn't tune into the CP. So they shortened it. Yeah. To the letters that... All the young phase guys were there.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Yeah. Having a blast. We had the phase boy be a nut. Right. Not was a C.N. Nut was a CP. Yes, sir. For CP and nut clab.
Starting point is 00:21:02 Mm-hmm. It was a co-lab. So how was it? The Rosebud Thorn. Uh, Rosebud Thorn? Um, honestly, Thorne is being 30. Oh, they reminded you.
Starting point is 00:21:16 huh? And fat. Oh, they reminded you, huh? I said, extra, Emily, guess my weight? She said, 250. I said, I said, ah, down a little. She goes, 220? Like, she refuses to believe it's under two.
Starting point is 00:21:29 And I go, and I go, let's start with a different digit. She goes, no. Get her on here, man. A lot of way. Get her on here. Be serious now. The neutral was when I was peeing in my own bedroom sitting down.
Starting point is 00:21:46 in this weird fucked up bedroom where the bathroom is like it's like one of those glass walls where there's a shower and you can just see it it's not like blocked yeah it's not like a bathroom in Tokyo
Starting point is 00:21:59 it's a real it's a real but there's no blocker at all it's not like a curtain you could draw and the toilet's in the shower so you couldn't do the bed really yes the toilet there's a wall well every shower is a toilet true but there's an actual toilet with shit shitter
Starting point is 00:22:13 and it's weird because the toilet paper just gets wet every time you shower. It's not the greatest design. That's crazy. But I'm sitting there butt-ass naked peeing. They went, kick the door down and then I only had a chance to look at him for a fucking
Starting point is 00:22:28 second because I was peeing and I turned back and I went, what the fuck? And they went, oh my God, because people like to cut through our bedroom because it's an easier walk to the backyard. Ah. So that's the only reason they were there. Are you butt-ass naked? I'm butt-ass naked.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And they saw you butt-ass? But they like, they down? No, because there's a wall partition, so all they see is my bare shoulder in the back of my head and my turn body and the knowledge that I'm naked in this room. That's painterly. And do you know what they do? What would you do in this situation? If I'm you or them? Them. Oh, how bad? Wait, if I was...
Starting point is 00:23:00 I mean, if it's you, it's different. Wait, if I was me in this, in their place? No, if you're them. Yeah. I'd probably If you're you, what do you do? Fucking pee on the floor? What, no. I would, I would, dude, I'd walk in and make fun of you. It'd say, how's that piss going? Oh, yeah. If it's doesn't see you naked, I make it. I make it. I would
Starting point is 00:23:16 undoubtedly approach you closer. You are fucking extra Emily. What they do is they, instead of backing away, is they open it, they turn and they go, ah, we're hoping to cut through. Can we cut through? And I'm still there.
Starting point is 00:23:32 And I'm like, I guess okay, we won't look. And I'm like, I would hope. And then they just fucking walk on through. Like I'm fucking chopped huss. Wait, I feel like they kind of negotiated. right I feel like I don't have a lot of negotiating power they're no you're definitely the in the

I think it's, I think there's I'm reading no country. A little bit later. What's up? You're on your phone? Can you get off your phone for two seconds? Give me a second. Why? I need to fucking get a flight to France, but I have to explain
Starting point is 00:30:00 to Yingling what international waters are because he's not fucking booking it right. Oh, did he try to go swimming when you see that again? He's doing a stop in every country along the way. I feel like And I'm trying to explain to him. You can go over the Atlantic. You're asking a guy who doesn't know shapes to book your flight. Should we explain sovereignty to him or is that too advanced? Anyway.
Starting point is 00:30:19 There's a much easier than all this. You could just get Axel. All you have to do is message Axel on WhatsApp. And if he's already booked your flight, it'll literally check if there was a price drop and refund you the difference. It's like a Nick Yingling on my phone. It's like a Nick Yingling that we all already have that you don't have. Did you guys have it? Yeah, we have it.
Starting point is 00:30:35 I mean, it's just in WhatsApp. right? You don't even need another app. That's the thing that Europeans use. Yeah. Yeah, well, that's why it actually put me on to it because it's all over Sweden. I'm not happy about it, but I still use it to go on my weed smoke world tour. And I know you've been complaining because you allow Nick Engling to sleep between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., you know, freshen up a little bit. But this guy's available 24-7. It monitors price changes literally every hour of every single day. It'll refund you if you missed out on a better price. Is Axel fun to hang?
Starting point is 00:31:07 out with and lights up a room like Nick Kingling? Yeah, sometimes I'm just like, what do you eat today? I don't really get a reply, but you can do it, you can try. He even has a setting to keep it 99, where he'll just lie to you if you want him to. I like that. Yeah, all right, well, how do I swap out? Most people wouldn't want that setting, just like you
Starting point is 00:31:23 wouldn't want your friend to be like that. Yeah, so if you want to fire your assistant, like Nick Yingling, um, and stop overpaying for travel, go to helloaxel.com slash the yard for your 14 day free trial. Call Nick Engling. After that, it's just $35 a year after that. users saved double than that on their first booking alone. Yep, sign up now and let Axel handle the deals while you enjoy the trip. What are you doing? You're calling him? Hello? Hey, you're fired, dude. Yeah, G on that. That was easy. Back to the show now. It's because Axel. I can't win. I try to, I'm say I was reading a manga. We've been watching League.
Starting point is 00:32:01 Wow. Wow. See, if Kelby said that, he'd shoot him. Go ahead, give me a lap. Let's go ahead, give me a lap. I don't know, you didn't give me a lap. Oh, you want to fucking suck you dry? Oh, you want to fucking deep throw you? You want to fucking have your mushroom puppy the back of my throat?
Starting point is 00:32:22 Mushroom puppy in the back of you. I hate it. You want to fucking do it so deep. I start sneezing out your fucking saliva comb. Ew. You made it, you know. That's what you're supposed to go. He went where you're supposed to go.
Starting point is 00:32:34 Sturally, he went where the joke needed to go. And that's why he's good. Damn it. When you're wearing that outfit, I can't take you seriously. Why? Because I look like I could fucking break your ankles. I see the Shubi picture. The Shubi picture?
Starting point is 00:32:45 Zipper, can you go to Shubi's Twitter? I think it's like his last media tweet. Shubi art. You guys know a fucking, like, top 100 highest earning basketball players all time. No, you're not. That's not even true. You can't do that one. I thought about the salaries that they made.
Starting point is 00:33:03 You just tried to pull it off the chess thing, but it doesn't work in a sport where people actually get paid. People actually get paid the whole way down. 100,000. No, well, no, yeah, definitely. 100,000? How 100,000 even played in the NBA? No, no, no, no, definitely not even close. Yeah, top 100,000.
Starting point is 00:33:18 I think, what's the NLB, like 60, 70,000? All time, ever? I think it's like 70,000. I feel like maybe, yeah. But you have to be thinking about every person who's played professional basketball ever in, like, most leagues. Yeah, it might broach a mill.
Starting point is 00:33:34 I'm gonna say 84,000 people. I don't think there's like a findable number in the baseball in the MLB. But yeah, obviously there's a final number. Oh, MLB, you could have a number for sure. You could definitely know. NBA, but it wouldn't include professional basketball.
Starting point is 00:33:46 How many people have played? Oh, you're talking about fucking minor league. Yeah, or Europe. Or China. It's not basketball. People playing with the tigers. Play a fucking play. Oh, we should.
Starting point is 00:33:55 With the dead fish in the net. We can't talk about it too long because I think it annoys people. Is it pulled up? What, the, yeah, please pull up the The should be going down. The shoeby picture. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:34:07 I think you got to reply. I think it's a reply to that. You click into that for us. So it's a picture of me when I was bald. It's in this outfit. And I look what I can only describe as like, I don't know. Well, you look accurate. I look grotesque.
Starting point is 00:34:27 I look like Job of the Hut. It's such a... I look like Baron Harkening. You look like a Jonin Vasquez character. So I actually paid Shuby to make this. Do you know that? Yes, I forgot that I had seen this before. I'm my horrible friend.
Starting point is 00:34:41 I got art made of my awesome friend. I have art of Aden in my house. I'm gonna fucking commission somebody to just draw a picture of like of what? Volleybear stroking each other off. Oh no. And I'm dead ass not gonna show anyone.
Starting point is 00:34:56 I'm actually gonna fucking do that. I'm gonna get a picture of you and fucking volleyball not show anyone you stroking each other off. I'm just fucking we're just jerking each other as red next. Yeah, and fucking Gwen is looking over you guys, and she's just fucking like this. Gwen's in the cuck chair. And she's going, stroke it. Yeah, I'm going to fucking commission.
Starting point is 00:35:13 And her like little bridge boy. Is that going to piss you off? I'm going to fucking look at that. I'm going to use it for sexual pleasure. I'm not going to tell you when. I'm not going to tell you how often I do it. I, dude, okay, while you're here zipper, can you go to the yard Twitter? There's a couple things I want to bring up.
Starting point is 00:35:29 Yeah, but you do. One is you, I think you lost, man. Jack Black is more famous than Shohay. Oh, because the Yard Twitter viewers. Oh, well, there's that. Scroll past that first one. Scroll past it and then just go to the poll, yeah. So the Yard Twitter viewers, 17,000 votes.
Starting point is 00:35:48 Showhah Tani. What a small number of people? It is, but I think it's also big enough to where it matters a little bit. No. Because all this data is from the U.S. event. We can't do this. We can't do this a third time. We can't do this a third time.
Starting point is 00:36:02 Let me just, is the only thing I want to say. Everyone gets one statement. I am going to China and I will interview the Chinese. I will decide, I will determine. We got some data on this too, by the way. No, no, no, but I'm going to actually go. Yeah, some people who have actually gone gave us the data. People who have gone are giving anecdotal data about what they remember.
Starting point is 00:36:21 I'm going to go and I'm going to do a fucking study because I'm going to ask 50 Chinese people. Oh, so 50 is a big number. 50 is fine, and 17,000 is a small number. Randomly dispersed across 2,500 kilometers. Yes, we would call that a significant data pool. Oh, 50 people in one country, interesting. Now, what you wouldn't consider a significant data pool is fucking, like, white college guys and lesbians. Like, what are we doing here?
Starting point is 00:36:45 That's it. That's the only people we've interviewed. I love that. Those are the two. Like, the two people listening to the air podcast. And there's not a lot of baseball viewers in that group. There's not a lot of fucking baseball years in that 17,000. Okay, well, there was also a post, there was a post on the subreddit that I actually found really enlightening.
Starting point is 00:37:06 And, okay, as an Indian, it's Jack Black, and it's not even close. He says, my introduction to Jack Black was Kung Fu Panda in 08. He said people, he does a lot of data. It's actually, writing is like a fucking me too statement. Because what you said is so fucking egregious. But what he said was, he's like, dude, Jumanji already clears. I'm going to India as well. Great. I'm going to India with Squeaks and I'll interview 50 Indians. You're going to be proven so wrong. I will find out for real though. And it won't be some bullshit fucking yard viewer. It's not people who are guessing. It's people who have been to India and China or are from India China. I'm just saying like if you are from China but you're a yard listener, I don't think you're a good demo for the average Chinese citizen. There is something that happened. The yard has been put into a legal battle. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:00 And I hate to be the one to tell you. But I got to bring this up. So zipper, they're, did I send you to images? Can you bring up the first one for me? So this is called Art in the Yard. I think it's in North or South Carolina. North Carolina. North Carolina.
Starting point is 00:38:18 It's in North Carolina? Yeah. And it's... I think Alex might have been the plug. He might have. He might have put them on. And if you look, this is... Scroll up.
Starting point is 00:38:29 This is our logo. This is the yard logo The island arts council The island arts council took our logo And I actually did some research They've been using this since 2022 For art in the yard For art in the yard
Starting point is 00:38:43 And so here's And so what I did is I took I had a couple thoughts I was like you know what This is like an art thing An art thing And then I looked on the Facebook page And they have t-shirts
Starting point is 00:38:53 Uh-oh Uh-oh No Always A no Art in the yard Or the yard. And usually I'm like, who fucking cares?
Starting point is 00:39:04 They typed in the yard. They saw the awesome logo that, you know, we selected out of a bunch of designs that we had commissioned and we built as a logo. I mean, it might not seem like it. It's a little fence. And I was like, you know, whatever, they just picked it. But then I thought, isn't it due diligence of an art festival to make their own logo? You would hope. You would hope.
Starting point is 00:39:24 And then do it for three years. Now, there's many legal courses of action here. There's a lot. And they would be simple routes. Might I propose something else? Sure. They're using what clearly seems to be like a downloaded version.
Starting point is 00:39:38 It's kind of low-res. It's overlapping. We reach out to them. We send them a high-res version. But watermarked. Not even watermarked. Really subtly. Well, just like barely.
Starting point is 00:39:49 I think you're thinking what I'm thinking. Almost imperceptible. You couldn't even notice it from afar. Like so far away. You wouldn't even take it. Swastika. Boom. It's just swatzaka.
Starting point is 00:39:57 Hard in the yard. It's North Carolina, man I don't know They're like, why does this logo look cool? There's something about it's like I don't know I didn't like it before I like it now though
Starting point is 00:40:07 The yard generalizes south again Well I think what happens Is I think people go to Google And they type yard logo Because they're a yard themed thing Of course Because this happens actually To some amount people steal our logo
Starting point is 00:40:18 But that is my idea Still is larceny We change the podcast name To McDonald's So you're more stolen Guys guys guys This is all full fine and good, but I've already proposed
Starting point is 00:40:30 and launched a solution. You've launched it. I've launched a solution. So my terms to the Island Arts Council is two things. One, just change it, make your own logo, you're an Arts Council, you can do it. Two, submit my art for your festival. Right.
Starting point is 00:40:48 In perpetuity to be displayed at every Arts Council meeting. Yes. And if Zipper, you could show them the art piece that I made. Wow. Wow, and it's a dribbling, not dribbling, not dribbling, not dribbling, arcing, it's an arcing. There's no dribble. Why is the cock so thin, slime?
Starting point is 00:41:05 We're looking at a, we're looking at a, curved, curved, hard, drawn dick shooting ropes. And I want to say it's pencil thin. It's more like confetti than ropes. It's not pencil thin. It is pencil thin. Why are you getting offended? It's just a thing you drew. It's not girthy.
Starting point is 00:41:20 It's not gertie. Well, it's not girthy. Well, it's not girthy. No. It's not girthy. But I wouldn't say pencil thin. But it's not pencil thin. It's not, I mean, I mean, it's not.
Starting point is 00:41:27 You're doing this. You're doing this. It's circled, which I, I think I take artistic, you know, issue with that. Well, look. It doesn't seem inclusive. The artist is the artist. If you wanted to draw one for the Island Arts Council, actually, they should take all of our art. I'll know how to plug with you.
Starting point is 00:41:46 So anyway, there should be a center where there's four easels and roses on the ground. Like a, yeah, like a shrine. I think we should make one of the Island Arts Council members enter the race to gold. Oh my God, they would never do it. Some 45-year-old woman. And they're amazing. A 39-year-old son-up player.
Starting point is 00:42:05 How's this for art? So did you... Susan? So did you reach out to them? I did you message or email on the Instagram and I said, here's your two options. You said it like, you said it like a fucking mafia member? Yeah, I said like level 99 crime boss.
Starting point is 00:42:19 They got two fucking options. I was like, I was like, this is the show for our web series. We can do the easy way or the hard way. That's so awesome. They're making t-shirts with our damn logo on it. They are. I saw the t-shirts and I was like, okay, hold on. We should go.
Starting point is 00:42:33 I want to see the t-shirts. I want to- It's just a logo on a Heather gray shirt. It's just, is it literally just a logo? The whole, like, art in the yard. It's like the colorful background and then the yard logo and it's Heather Gray shirt.
Starting point is 00:42:45 That is an ugly shirt. It is an... Wait, we should steal their design. We should just sell it. That's right. We should just sell it. It's the best idea ever. This is, I like this idea.
Starting point is 00:42:53 They can't do literally anything. I don't know how that works. No, no, we're, they stole our logo. Yeah, yeah, but you enter it, because like, what's that guy's name? The guy who used to just steal shit all the time? Uh, Pito Ben. Pito Ben? Is this not, is this, is this not the art equivalent of when we stole your truck back,
Starting point is 00:43:14 when we found it in the street with like, when slime found it in the street with nobody in it? Yes. And we just stole the truck back to get it back. It's street justice. No, no, that, it's street justice for sure. I'm just thinking of the, there's the fucking, there's a famous law case where it's, It's the guy. Fuck, what's his name?
Starting point is 00:43:29 He, like, takes art and he, like, puts on logos. Is it like the Campbell's logo? Banky? Oh, oh, oh, oh, um, no, no. He's talking, he's talking at Warhol. Warhol. Andy Warhol? Andrew Warhol had a court case
Starting point is 00:43:41 because he got sued for taking people's logos. Uh-huh. And won the court case because he had changed it enough. Transformative. This is not the legal grounds ours is in at all. But no, no, no, I'm saying there. What if theirs is considered transform because they have an ugly background? The logo.
Starting point is 00:43:56 Isn't the logo? exact same, though. The Campbell's logo, look up Andy Warhol, I'm saying this is, it's tougher than it thinks. It's entirely different color scheme. I think Ludwig as a, it's worth you know, it's not as cut and dry as no, they didn't
Starting point is 00:44:11 transform it. That's Prince. There's type in Warhol Campbell's. Also, he used the can, not the logo, in his art. Is there no logo in because the Campbell's logo is the Campbell's, the text.
Starting point is 00:44:27 He just drew a can of soup. He drew the colorful cans of soup. I don't know shit about art. I'll say that much. I don't know a damn thing. That was art back in the day, huh? Yeah, he's like 1962. I just did asses.
Starting point is 00:44:39 That is like the dumbest painting ever. What's sick is that he did it again in 68. Like he ran it back. I know, I know of like the colorful one on the left side there, top left. Like I know of that when I think. But look at the one that's just actually dead ass like repeating logo. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:55 He has a lot of repeating stuff too. I don't know if any of these are which one's original or not Campbell's soup one. I think the top left the MoMA one for sure. Oh yeah probably MoMA. One time Ludwig made fun of me when we first started hanging out because I said like we were working on something I was like this is
Starting point is 00:45:09 these are like dumb like Normie jokes he's like whatever war hall and I was like all right I think I understand this guy don't be reference this is uh I'd never notice till right now that it's all the flavors
Starting point is 00:45:23 yeah yeah this guy's just into soup This guy's just really fucking hungry at the grocery store. He was just writing down all of them. That's what happens when you're really hungry. Bean. Bean soup. It's the only one that's cut those two. Fuck it. Let's make the fucking merch. I'm not to get into a lawsuit with him.
Starting point is 00:45:40 We can make it one to one and just sell it for like a dollar last. Can we just release it in this episode? What if we make it one to two? What if it? Because the island arts council. What if we change one word? Oh God. They shouldn't have been an island.
Starting point is 00:45:55 Yeah Wow I'm just saying What if it's the I've seen island art council Wow We can't sell that I guess we should
Starting point is 00:46:06 We can sell a shirt And whatever we want I don't want to sell that shirt Next to the Fcine Island Arts Council It says island arts council But island is in quotes That's better
Starting point is 00:46:17 It's more subtle Anyway Yeah it sucks It sucks to wake up to news like that So go ahead click this link down below If you'd like to buy this shirt. Buy our I've seen island shirt.
Starting point is 00:46:28 Nope, don't know. It supports the arts. We're going to change my mind. We're going to lose the lawsuit. They're going to see this part in the clip and we're going to lose the loss. Come at us, North Carolina. I know Mr. Beast. It would be really easy to make the art symbol a symbol of hate and then their event would forcefully
Starting point is 00:46:43 need to change. That's because it's a symbol of hate. That would suck. That's like Archer. The company's called ISIS and then they just have to change it. Yeah. It sucks to suck. Do you think maybe they got it from Matt? From the Like ISIS got it from Archer? Maybe. No, it's an acronym. They were watching and they're like, dude, this shit's
Starting point is 00:47:03 awesome. Unless it's an archer, it stood for like the Islamic state of whatever. Yeah, it was the same. Vans for. Isis fell off. I fell off. I just fell off. I just fell off crazy. You don't hear about Isis. Did not fell off. I just did not fell off. I thought about pigs in a blanket. What was the last time you were at any sort of party and someone had made pigs in a blanket? I've had pigs in a blanket within the last year. No, you have not. Well, actually, Qudy definitely makes kids and pigs in blank.
Starting point is 00:47:28 She's a pings in the blanket. That's some shit that she'd be like, at least once a year. We had these at Easter type of thing. Yeah. Yeah. I've haven't eaten pigs in a blanket in a long time. I haven't seen pigs in a blanket. I'm not. No, I'm not. If you were to hang out churchgoers, because in churchgoers are up right now. So I'm saying pigs in the blanket are up right now.
Starting point is 00:47:44 They're up? They're not up right now. Church goers are up right now. Church attendants are down? Yeah, church attendants are up right now. Oh, like R.N. Yeah, fascists are up too. by the way, good guys are down. Good guys are down? Good guys are down. How can good guys be down when there's more Chinese people than ever?
Starting point is 00:48:01 What is that even mean? What are you compensating for? Okay. Oh, they're not good guys. No. It's not really bad inherently because of where they're from. I think if their choice is a bad base off where you're from.
Starting point is 00:48:12 Only you haven't even toyed around with these ideas and we're so far from. I think you're good or bad based on where you're from. And I'm down to go country for country. Yeah, I was going to say like, we can really test this one. Literally running through China. You're all such good people. I love you.
Starting point is 00:48:26 Shusha. What about Algeria? How do you feel about Algeria, Frenchman? Not the hottest on it. Wow. It was Beckinstein? Hmm? Love.
Starting point is 00:48:35 Love. Love. Love it. Huh? Hate. Cuck. Actually, the worst. Yeah. The worst. Yeah, I would call it the Epstein Nation.
Starting point is 00:48:45 Yeah. Epstein Crody. All right. Speaking of Aiden, hating dogs and coffee shops, we were at a coffee shop, me and QD. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:48:53 and there was a lady in line and her husband was looking for a seat and he kind of reminded me of the guy who was really sad and pathetic from office space the stapler guy oh yeah yeah he was like that guy and he was looking around and he's like there's no spots in the back
Starting point is 00:49:10 but maybe I'll look in the front and so he's doing that you're wearing shorts and huh he's wearing shorts he's wearing like cargo shorts yeah this is how every offline TV viewer looks in real life he they're 50 and I rest my case okay and he goes to the front of the cafe and, and a dog barks at him. There's like a dog took it on his women's leg. How big? And it's, it was like literally in a cubby. It's maybe an Italian greyhound. Okay. Kevin size. Small dog. Small dog and it barks at him like a couple times. And then,
Starting point is 00:49:39 and then he walks back to the line. And the lady who's ordering, uh, here's this, right? His wife. And he goes, you allow dogs in here. And then, and then the lady behind the guy goes, yeah yeah we love dogs and she goes hmm let's see if the health code likes that oh Aiden was there and then and then and then the lady kind of unlocks yourself answering and she goes
Starting point is 00:50:02 yeah I think I'll call them up and we'll see about that and then this whole interaction I am looking at the calories of orange juice I haven't noticed of this thing you're like that's a lot and I'm literally thinking that and cutie who only eavesdrops on conversations and ignores me
Starting point is 00:50:18 to heaths drop fucking china in and goes, she goes, you'll be all right. Oh, she chimes in? Yeah, she chimes in. That's badass. You'll be all right. And then he goes, the lady goes, thank you. And she's like, yeah, you'll live.
Starting point is 00:50:32 And she's like, and she goes, thank you. And then they had this little back and forth. They have a little tiff. They have a little tiff. And I only hear the tiff. And I'm like, oh, you chime in. You chastity tiff. Ladies, orange juices out of control these days.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Maybe we just took to the fruit. This much sugar. And then the lady Who is ordering She goes she goes You know what? You guys can go ahead of us And I'm and I'm the one who's gonna fucking order I go no
Starting point is 00:51:01 Okay What is going on in white people? And then she just fucking she goes You know what? Fine. And then just leaves Whoa And she just leaves No order. See you know down No order
Starting point is 00:51:14 And her husband follows and her husband 100% follows Yeah He got large to his legs You get a large orange juice? And then I get the orange juice And I let her I like Qudy know I'm like
Starting point is 00:51:24 He's got a lot of sugar I'm gonna eat this I'm be hyper all day Damn that lady is a But that's But that's one of your people That's one of your people That's right the same
Starting point is 00:51:36 In the moment I realized I was like QD is the defender Against Aiden's around the world Because as soon as you do As soon as you do What that lady's doing It's like you're doing
Starting point is 00:51:45 The only thing worse Than bringing your dog In that coffee shop Making a stink Making a fucking stink So you're saying get rid of the dog quietly. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:53 If I'm her, if I'm her, I look the cashier in the eyes, I give her, I flash my minty fresh smile, and then I go fucking choke the dog out in the mirror. You say, give me one second. He's like, yeah, can I get an ice latte? And he's just unwrapping a Hershey's bar. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:52:11 It's just feeding it. I had almost the exact, I reaffirmed my belief in this this week because I've been walking around different neighborhoods in L.A. and the sidewalks are just, they're just covered in dog shit. Oh, that's your issue with the sidewalks. They're covered in dog shit. Really?
Starting point is 00:52:27 What's your issue with the sidewalks? My issue with the sidewalks is twofold. One, they don't have them like handicap accessible in many areas. That's true. In the sense that it doesn't go from like a raised sidewalk into like a slope. Do you use a wheelchair where you get around?
Starting point is 00:52:43 I need to be disabled to be considered of them. Some sidewalks have jumps. that's bad it's a high elo fucking sidewalk you just have to it's just harder good I don't know what to tell you dude all your wheelchair up the gap
Starting point is 00:52:57 all you're the wheelchair of the gap like it's fucking skates if you can't do if you can't do four steps with your wheelchair it's like why do it how long have you even been doing it okay they need some fucking all terrain tiles on them
Starting point is 00:53:10 my second issue is the trees that were planted were not planted to the consideration that they'll grow and the roots take over the sidewalk. Those are cool. I always like when it breaks out. It's like beautiful, right? And then you have those sidewalks. It's sliding back. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, that's also
Starting point is 00:53:25 cool. By the sandwich shop we go to where it's like all fucked up. It looks like a movie. Why is? You guys are I don't know. I think it's awesome. I don't know. You think it's awesome. It's cool. Because it's like, whoa, fall guys. Oh, again, bad for people in wheelchairs. Uh, sure, but their life is bad, right? They're always looking
Starting point is 00:53:43 there. There's always a struggle there. That's why we have laws that are supposed to make it better. Sure, man. I think that's, it's a great initiative, and you could talk to your city council about it, but you never will. It's already a law. Well, then you need to get their ass to follow the law.
Starting point is 00:53:57 I speed all the time. It's the law, not to do that. You speed all the time? Actually, I don't. I hate speeding. Well, I break a lot of laws. I have a gun. You know, my problem is the sidewalk level
Starting point is 00:54:08 is that the kids who do the hopscotch in my neighborhood, they make it too hard. It's like really long. Like, they're going to like a hundred. They're not accounting for your name. And I walk by, I have OCD, I gotta do the, I gotta do the hopscotch. You do the hopscotch. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:23 The kid put it on the fucking ground. I'm not gonna not gonna not to the hopscotch. But I'm not kidding, they're going to a hundred these days. Hundreds really intense. That's good. The circles are like this big. I think I like that the kids have enough concentration and willpower to make it go to a hunt. It's the same issue we have in video games where like the skill floor is so high that it's hard to enjoy hopscotch anymore.
Starting point is 00:54:40 We've been pushing, we've been silently pushing the skill floor of hopscotch all these years. The hopscotch meta is going crazy now. My girlfriend. does it. She does it wrong. I'm like, go again. Gotta go. I don't let her go again. We can't go past this point until you fucking do it. Go again. Whip-blashing your girlfriend? Yeah. Not quite my tempo.
Starting point is 00:54:57 She's like, I have a meeting. Doesn't matter. I have a call in like five minutes and you're like, well, you shouldn't have lost on 27. Nick from the yard fucked me. What? What? I didn't do that. Yes, you did. What do you mean? I fucked you. How? I... Why did he get to fuck you? I... I was doing a video where I watched different YouTubers and then I bought whatever ad
Starting point is 00:55:17 they promoted. Yeah. I did this. I actually did this. Yeah. And Adam Ragousia. I love that guy. Lovely guy. Lovely man. He has a Helix sleep sponsorship. Oh, he looks sleep. I have a helix and mattress actually. And I, and I, and I, I don't actually have. I know, funny enough. How many do you have? Three. Interesting. Yeah. Because what I need to do for the sponsor was try every product. So when I reach out to Helix sleep, I said, could I, could we cash in on one of the
Starting point is 00:55:41 mattresses? Yeah, I reached out actually and said Ludwig would like one and I put it in my guest room. Yeah. That's what they said. They said Ludwig, we already sent you your mattress. I said Ludwig, the YouTuber. So I had to do the sleep quiz, which was enjoyable process, to be honest. And I had to order my own mattress. Now, the only fucking good news is that first off, the sleep quiz gave me the exact mattress I wanted because it was very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:56:06 You get Midnight Lux? I got Midnight Lux. Not elite. That's what, no, Midnight Lux. That's what I ordered for you to my house. That's so funny. He's so thoughtful. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:17 Well, it's not. thoughtful because I don't come stay. Why don't you just go to his house? You can be cozy to the USA over. Because it's for my house. You don't go to next house very often. You're always about possessions. Like you possess, you know, memory foam, cooling features.
Starting point is 00:56:30 You possess sleep zones. Yes. Yeah, I want to possess a sleep zone that's different for me and my girlfriend because she likes it soft. Do you like it hard? I like it hard. And she likes it soft. What a flip on the classical dynamic. Well, anyway, if you like it soft, hard or anything in between.
Starting point is 00:56:45 Here's what I want to say. Go to Heelix Sleep. com slash Adam Regusia. No, which is the code I used That would be 25% It would work great for him. That would work great.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Even better though is the yard HelixSit.com slash the yard. That's 25% off site wide Ludwig and Adam Ruggiusia I think he's actually 24% Well, I actually was able to get a Midnight Lux mattress for $1,300 with free shipping using Helixleep.com
Starting point is 00:57:06 slash Adam Ruggusia. So we need so they know the yard sent you. I've never used the yard's link. Otherwise, don't think Adam Roussia sent you. If you use Adam's link will lose the sponsor. I don't know if this. I'd love it you at Hewishton.com slash the Yon for Helix sleep. Maybe they don't care. I've never used this
Starting point is 00:57:23 link. It could work. It couldn't work. I do know Adams for sure works because I bought it with my own money. It's an art link. Use art link. So they know that the Yarsetka. I've never used. You put both links on the screen and let them choose. And compete. I like that. But both you can choose to the masses. Which was harder to smell. Oh and the pillows are also great. All right. My beautiful girlfriend was she she had deleted TikTok off of her phone. Whoa. But she guiltily watches YouTube shorts
Starting point is 00:57:49 which is you know the same shit that's not the same shit it's not the same in quality but it's and so she doesn't like when I look over her shoulder to see what's on her feet she's very sensitive about me backseating whatever her algorithm is
Starting point is 00:58:06 song song to who so I take I take a peek what are you watching and then Zipper can you pull it up in the chat she's watching this video and she's like crying laughing out of like the combined interest and shame she has that I think she's engaged with this video.
Starting point is 00:58:25 Ranking AI toast spreads. Oh my God. And it's an AI video where there's like aluminum balls being spread on a beautifully buttered piece of toast. And it's AI and it looks great. Like I got to come clean. It's got sound too.
Starting point is 00:58:40 It looks really good. Am I wrong about this? Yeah, it looks good. It looks good. It looks insane. Wait, what's that? I don't like this one. I don't like the clouds. Oh, you don't like the clouds?
Starting point is 00:58:51 I don't like the noise they make. I don't like the diamonds. I like the diamonds. Oh my god. You know how usually in these AI video, oh, the galaxy? That's the galaxy. Yo, that actually is fire. Wow.
Starting point is 00:59:07 Dude, AI videos are fucked. Oh, Jesus. Blood, love me. Redbone, red boon, red boon. You know how, you know how, you know how they're, you know how the people, those like men go insane and talk to Chachy Petit like it's gone and they kill their whole family. She's just going to do that
Starting point is 00:59:22 to you. I know. Which is like, makes it way more cool. She had this up. She scrolled to the next video is something like this and then she just deleted the app. You shamed her. You too. She deleted YouTube. I do think YouTube is deletable now. I think Shorts has made it deleteable.
Starting point is 00:59:40 No shit. Look, man, there's a lot of fucking YouTube is the worst right now. Michael was going, Michael's solution. was crazy because he was I think he was coding he was making something for his phone yeah he was trying to code something that would block YouTube shorts from appearing on his phone
Starting point is 00:59:55 that only blocked shorts so he could still boot up YouTube because he needs to see it for like work but he couldn't open or view shorts maybe it's the siren call like it just doesn't work on my ears maybe it's like when Fry has the he's his own grandfather so he doesn't have the brainwave in Futurama
Starting point is 01:00:13 so he's not affected by it but I I I watch YouTube every single day on my phone lunch with YouTube sleep with a video going and I've never, shorts do not enter my world You never crap, well you know this is the real test is when you open the app and you're at the top of the recommended feed
Starting point is 01:00:30 Is it shorts first or long form videos first? Here's the problem. I'll watch a short like once every couple weeks like a fighting game short. It's like how to how to do a leverless input with Ryu and then they'll keep feeding. They really push it. It makes me mad because they switch it over, and it's like, I didn't want it to become like that. Yeah. I wanted it to be my beautiful long form
Starting point is 01:00:50 videos. They're like, right away, you want the shorts, right? And I'm like, and if you do it on browser, it does the same thing. And I just scroll past them. And the algorithm takes the hint. I'm 35. Do you watch Toong, Tung, Tung, Tung, Sohur? What is that, my goat? Anyone? My fork going down the garbage disposal. Zipper, can you look up Tung, Tung, Tung, Sohur? Zipper. Sipper's making grown noises.
Starting point is 01:01:13 He was grown. Oh, it's so hard out there. On YouTube shorts. Yeah, shorts video, click any short, click any note, go back, go back, go back. Is this like Benos? Click literally any short. He looks, he's, he's, oh, we got a short, we got an ad on a short. Dude, it's a political ad.
Starting point is 01:01:33 It's a square ad. It can't be real, man. And it's, we're embedded into Google. I don't like this. What was the name of that guy who lied? Gilles Cisneros. Gilcesteros Dude, those AI figures are all deformed
Starting point is 01:01:53 It's so gross They're all facing away from the DJ Wait, wait, pause This is not the one I was thinking of This is the guy though This is what the youth is consuming Look up the Rizzler Italian brain lot BrainRot
Starting point is 01:02:08 We're just we're revisiting BrainRock quiz This is kind of making me realize like kids just like repetitive dumb shit like this is what cartoons were to like you know boomers yeah this video
Starting point is 01:02:21 this video blew my mind this made me realize because this is the brightest of the youngest generation right audio who is this that's two for two that's two
Starting point is 01:02:33 bombardillo coccadillo that's three cappuccino assassino baronina cappuccino that's six They're all AI.
Starting point is 01:02:51 Oh, I appreciate you playing. Yeah, get the fuck out of here, bro. You just dab the 10 year old. Yeah. What the fuck is going on? It's the Rizzler. It's the Rizzler. He's the brightest of the youngest generation.
Starting point is 01:03:06 And he's naming Italian AI brain rock characters like you would, you know, starters on. on a basketball team and he's dressed like 2010 Tower of the creator yeah he's got the pastel
Starting point is 01:03:21 cats on everything gets on everything the five panel anyway that's that's the YouTube short side I feel like YouTube shorts is what creates that shit
Starting point is 01:03:28 that shit does not exist on reels in TikTok to the same degree you're saying YouTube shorts is worse than TikTok it's the worst yeah I don't understand how
Starting point is 01:03:36 because it encourages that no that shit's not on TikTok is like TikTok is the one that starts the raptures today. That's TikTok. I think is it human input? Like, is it, like, TikTok is people
Starting point is 01:03:50 talking to their phones and uploading videos? TikTok is, like, people doing shit and, like, TikTokers. And then Reels is, like, random people capturing a video of some crazy shit happening and maybe people dying and then, like, slurs in the comments. And then YouTube Shorts is, like, AI curated videos from anonymous fucking channels to get your attention.
Starting point is 01:04:07 YouTube Shorts has the most AI. Yes, I think so. I don't know how to describe it There's the one male AI voice That's really popular for narration right now Brian and maybe And as soon as I hear that guy's voice No matter what the content is
Starting point is 01:04:23 I click out I'm like I can't I don't want to listen to this The nasty guy Fucking take Because it's always like a 15 Like or minute long video How about you just fucking narrate it
Starting point is 01:04:32 Like just grow up and narrate it Well the reason is because SM7B costs money You don't even need that You don't even need this shit fucking talk they'll take it off man you're not gonna out put it back gone
Starting point is 01:04:45 I have to it's actually Nick's right I discovered a like I've been doing this video where I do different YouTuber sponsors and Eric was sponsored maybe he owns it but there's some company called like clipper and you use it either as an individual to pay for people
Starting point is 01:05:01 to clip your content or if you want to clip other people's content to make money and it's basically like Fiver but just for clips yes kind of and it's like it but it's automated process where you submit your clip if it gets approved you get your shit scuba ryan is using basically yeah yeah and if you know that's where you like see the stake logo it's kind of like that you know but done through a more official process uh so i tried using it but as the clipper uh except
Starting point is 01:05:30 the issue is when you're new they don't give you a lot of opportunities so the only one was for like the founder of the company and the only youtube videos he had are on his like 2,000 subscriber channel about how it works. So I just made a video and I submitted it and it was just footage of him and then spliced with the jail footage of Epstein
Starting point is 01:05:53 and... You did this in your free time? Yeah, I did this in my free time and I haven't made a dime yet off of it and has zero views on TikTok. Dude, it's like when it was like the CEO of Ford has a podcast and he had like Siddee Sweetie on there.
Starting point is 01:06:09 It's shit like that It would be like having to clip from that And it's so much harder than clipping from stable Rinaldo Oh you know Well Ron generates timeless moments They call him the clip He's fun for the whole family
Starting point is 01:06:23 Is he For half your family He's fun for a quarter You're He's fun if you have one person In your family maybe who likes it He's fun for one person In your family
Starting point is 01:06:32 He doesn't hang out at Thanksgiving Yeah And who you want For real screen A young you say You say Wow, you came out of the game. Where is it?
Starting point is 01:06:42 Where do you think Ron will be when he's 35? That's a great question. I think about it all the time. Why? I think he'll be off the internet because he'll have made enough money. I think he'll be a D.J.
Starting point is 01:06:52 I think you're wrong. I think you're wrong. No, I think he'll be like a fucking off the internet real estate guy. Real, no. He'll own a bunch of property. Oh, but you know. Okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:07:02 He'll be owned a bunch of property. He'll have eight figures. He'll have a fucking wife and kid. And it'll be living in Florida. All these people yearn for the minds, bro. That's what I'm realizing as we as we get further along into this is that I that never, it feels like most of the time that doesn't happen. Like if you have a young career of some kind and you forfeit kind of that time period
Starting point is 01:07:29 in your life where you would have a more traditional social experience, like maybe you would have gone to college and you wouldn't have been like rich and famous yet. As soon as you forfeit that I feel like when the steam starts running out you try to go do something else but they just fall back to something that's adjacent or something to do without putting entertainment again
Starting point is 01:07:51 because they don't really know where else to go in his case he might always have enough money that it literally doesn't matter like Mario Lopez he's just on a random fucking like hotel only TV shows well he's a hotel only TV show yeah Yeah, like the tuby of like closed circuit
Starting point is 01:08:09 It'll be like America's best biker But it's just like, I'm hosting it Here it is, there's a bunch of bikers That's just a guy who works though I guess That's just work But he's saying like he's What's Ryan Seacrest doing?
Starting point is 01:08:23 Working? I don't know He's still doing the same shit Doesn't he still do the radio? Yeah, he's still doing the radio Yeah, he's still doing the radio Kiss 1-08 That's like he's been his main shit for so long
Starting point is 01:08:32 I remember there was that quote from From Brennan Fraser Did I say this on the yard or just with Nick but it was like he was saying someone asked him after the whale came out
Starting point is 01:08:41 because he's like kind of back in action and he's like they were like would you ever be in an Avengers movie would you ever be a superhero you're like yes I'm an actor
Starting point is 01:08:49 I want to work it's like that simple yeah I want work this is my job it's kind of funny because it's like but I think it's different
Starting point is 01:08:57 when you self publish I guess like when you're like a streamer or YouTuber maybe I mean maybe you're right in the sense that like they don't care about the success it comes with it they just really love creating
Starting point is 01:09:07 but I think with Ron he just fucking cared about the mullah I think it's falling back on like familiarity that's what I have because like people still need like a work or like a routine right so the people I imagine in my head right there's a
Starting point is 01:09:19 I know this seems like a silly example but take hugs from melee right yeah he he he by the time he became like a professional gamer he had like he I think he had like a CPA he had like worked a normal job for a long time and then he makes this like conscious decision that he's gonna go be professional gamer,
Starting point is 01:09:38 try content and do this for like years and years, years, right? But when the steam out of e-sports runs out, you know? When the voodoo ranger. When the voodoo ranger stops, I will say, he did a good job. He's number one ambassador for that shit.
Starting point is 01:09:53 He has like a background and an understanding that, okay, I need to go pursue some sort of like new education or like go back to regular work. And I know what that's like. and I'm gonna go do that. Whereas I think if you spend, you know, age 16 to like 25,
Starting point is 01:10:10 you know, popping off on TikTok and skipping like school and like kind of that period of time where you might be introduced to your first real job and then the steam runs out. Even if you have a bunch of money, it's hard to imagine what you would even turn to. So you just kind of settle and like go back to something familiar
Starting point is 01:10:27 even if it's publishing YouTube videos to people that only 10,000 or 5,000 people watch instead. Like rice gum. I don't think he's doing that Well he's making videos Is he? Every now and then He had a kid though
Starting point is 01:10:40 He had a kid Well okay there's an inherent shame And not from my perspective But I think from the world's perspective Of like the young streamer right And it's like Everyone kind of knows This is like this thing that shouldn't last forever
Starting point is 01:10:56 In the idea that if stable Ronaldo I love how he's an example here Is doing this when he turns 30 being stable Ronaldo and hasn't sort of changed to do like different content or be a different type of person there will be he will get clowned
Starting point is 01:11:12 in a way that is like what are you doing and that's interesting but I also think there's also a side of this that in his case right if he makes a bunch of money and save some of it and he's in that spot and you know he's 35
Starting point is 01:11:28 still publishing the YouTube videos to no viewers but he has a you know he's totally secure in his future, you know, who gives a shit? If you want to keep making, if you want to keep making the videos for 5,000 people, like, you might as well just not, that's the, you might as well just be like woodworking in your garage at that point because it's just like. But this is your wordworking.
Starting point is 01:11:45 Sure, exactly. Yeah, and it could be. It could be. But I think it's more like, there's also, see Nanners. Yeah. People who just fucking get up and damn leave. I think this is a big part of this that's attention, though. Like, you spend a lot of your life having a fuck ton of attention.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Like, every time you look at your phone, if you turn it away and turn it back you have more notifications and then one day let's just say that stops or it's slower I think that you don't just go great like I think you're like oh shit no one cares about me anymore
Starting point is 01:12:15 and like you seek the attention more yeah do you do that I think that's what I'm saying about Ron and I think some people is that they fucking they turn it and they go okay and they move on yeah that's beast I think that's awesome anyone who can do that I think
Starting point is 01:12:32 I'm just struggling to think of any examples I can think of people who have picked up walked away, given it all up that weren't older when they started, that weren't already like in their mid-20s when they started. And I think C-9ers was, wasn't he? No. Am I wrong? Yeah, yeah, yeah. He started I mean, for us, I guess he seemed
Starting point is 01:12:50 because he's older than us. I guess because he's always been older. But he started to have been in his mid-20s when he started. I think he was in his very low 20s. Is he not like... How old is he now? How old C-9ers now? He's got to be like 30-7, 37, 38. Seiner's? I'm saying He's 41
Starting point is 01:13:05 But he started in like fucking 2000 2009 So I don't know the math I'm not smart enough 16 years ago So he was 25 That's kind of what I'm saying There might be good answers to this by the way
Starting point is 01:13:19 But I'm just trying to I can't think of anybody Who became like a gigantic streamer Between the ages of 16 and 20 Who like Well because not enough times Shut up don't make good points You're basically saying No one's there yet
Starting point is 01:13:34 No, but a lot of people used to be You know, you could be 16 to 20 Like starting Starting 10 15 years ago All these guys look one day all these guys will either Turn 35 or they won't They'll die And what happens is everybody
Starting point is 01:13:49 It does, it does true Everybody either dies or makes it to 35 And specifically one of them won't make it And we can't tell you it's a dark secret We can't tell it's a secret It's funny because people will like people in chat will say that like dude you're 35 LOL and I'm like either you're
Starting point is 01:14:03 going to get here one day or you won't so I don't know what to tell you anyway like when you in that those 10 15 years or whatever they're going to look back on Northern Lion and be like he figured it out it's a schedule yeah it's it's easy
Starting point is 01:14:19 it's entertaining it's influential and it's conducive to a real life and I think the Northern Lion what do you call it structure or like format is kind of like the holy grail of all of this. Yeah, I think some people would be like that.
Starting point is 01:14:36 I think Adap will do that. Those are the most interesting people to me are the people that do figure it out, right? Like the Dubbins and the Hank Greens and the Philip DeFranco's they like, they kind of... Oh, sorry, you've just been loved in. What was that?
Starting point is 01:14:50 Oldest fucking people on YouTube, that's so funny. No, no, I think it's crazy for a different reason. Lang Green and Philip DeFranco? What? Older YouTubers who have had long story careers. And they've managed through thick and thin. They've managed to maintain an audience. So I'm still thick.
Starting point is 01:15:07 They've stayed thick through most of it. My career is like half as long as all of them. And they went in your store. I think the difference. I was blown away for a different reason is because I don't see Hank Green going up to Jason the wean and then started to talk like a 20 year old zoomer. Yeah, but that's different.
Starting point is 01:15:25 And that's because you don't hang out with Hank Green offline. Yeah, yeah, man. It's like, hey, what do you think about robots? He's like, nah, uh, you know... Pussy Gladman. That's how Hank Green talks off on. Yeah, me and Hank Green listen to steel pulse in the car. The galaxy is expanding.
Starting point is 01:15:45 What did he say, probably? He says that shit. Dude, Ludwig has this thing where, if I, like, lose in lane, I think he really tries to, when I'm streaming, he really, really tries to, like, salvage it. Which I would argue, I'm just bad. I'm not. necessarily as tilted as he might think. I'm just going to do the same decision, no matter what.
Starting point is 01:16:03 But I'll like die and then he'll be like, I just want to fucking let you know in chat. I want to fucking let you know. I fucking love you like a brother. I love you in ways that I don't love anybody else. He'll say like really meaningful shit and I'll just read it and I'll just roll my eyes. In any other context, I'd be like, this is really special. And then, and then he's tried to do other, he's trying to give subs. I'll die in Lane and I'll say. see five bomb come through and I'm like don't fucking do that I do it to both you guys I'm a I'm a big supporter
Starting point is 01:16:35 you are a big supporter it makes me it feels good to know that my friends watch oh yeah I'm watching I'm not I'm not dropping five bombs I'm not dropping five bucks we need some YouTube shorts on your games please if someone wants to make them the moments of the moments of you talking to chat of course that's the most interesting part
Starting point is 01:16:53 I listen to the the Sona files oh you like that I wanted to talk about that so bad I was actually saving it for the prima. Yeah, that guy's great. Me and Shake play normals every night. It's our little routine. We'll message you there than go husband and then he just runs it down. It's fucking miserable. Oh my God, we did vaude review the other day because I got pissed at him. Because he was drunk on Saturday night. He comes home. He's like, you want to play a game or two? My drunk husband comes home. My drunk husband, and he's like feeling frisky, and I'm like, okay. And we play a game, and he fucks up this moment in the game. And I'm like,
Starting point is 01:17:27 you fucking suck shake you i don't want to play with you anymore you come home drunk and i was actually you hit it belly to belly no motion and he was like he was drunk but he's still playing well because he's good at the game and he's like oh that is a 50 50 50 that is a 50 and you're stupid he shake holds his ground pretty well and i'm like that's not a 50 50 you're an asshole so we go into the vaude and we we start watching the replay he's like oh my god i'm so vindicated you're so stupid. And I'm like losing. I'm mad. But he doesn't care. Shake will just tell me how it is. He's like, I'm vindicated. This is how it is. You're fucking stupid. And Mike is just sitting there in the call. Just like, did I do something wrong? Mike hates arguing. This is, this is fuck. He doesn't
Starting point is 01:18:13 have to care, right? Because he's master. He's in master. He's on his way. Diamond too. He's getting there. I also, I said, I was like, I always defend you on this podcast because he keeps sending me updates. He's like, I was like, when it comes to burgers, I'm your nemesis, but on, on league, I always defend how good you are. I think it's funny because, like, I always defend you on this podcast. And it's only in the context of League of Legends, but every other mention of shake is like how you, how you like punch a picture of his face in your backyard on the punching bag. Because it's objective truth. It's objective truth. Anyway, we're playing these games and but yeah, we get to do a game with this guy and he plays soda. And he,
Starting point is 01:18:54 shakes bot lane and he's just like this is the worst player i've ever played with and i'm like oh whatever it's a normal and then the guy is just really chatty and we're just talking it's back if it's not very it's not flaming at all but he's so interesting in the game i'm like can i interview you after this he's he's like everyone always says that and they never take me up on it and i was like of course he says i promise i will take you up on it yeah we we pulled into a lobby and i talked to this guy and he was it's on my youtube channel dude it's sad it's a sad video I don't, I think it's as sad as people think. It's a sad video, not because of his life.
Starting point is 01:19:30 It's sad because the fucking comment he left. It's like a, he found it. 12 minute video. He finds this video, yeah, because Slime told him about his channel. I asked him if I could post it to. And it's just 39 year old guy, and he called himself the Sona guy. And he talks about, like, he talks about League very poetically. He's like, he only plays Sona, which is not a very good character.
Starting point is 01:19:51 Yeah. It's a very popular character. but she used to be good and he goes he goes I went through war with her went through war with would you leave your comrade if you went through war with your comrade season five and six we saw shit I've never seen I do like I do like talking about season because that's a little how I feel when I watch you guys play league it's like bag at season three it was different right we didn't have all these new fangled tools like I literally like I see a scary future because he talks about it and he's and he's like you know you guys are like what's your peak rank and he's silver now
Starting point is 01:20:22 And he's been playing the game like, fucking 10 years, 10 years, a lot of games based off his, his mastery. And he, and you're like, what is his peak rank? And he's like, I was going for gold promos. And I, and my friends asked to play it with me. So what do I say? Yes, I'm a good friend. And they're bad and I can't carry them. But then I get to the final game.
Starting point is 01:20:41 And he's like, recalling this game from almost 10 years ago. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like it happened. Yes. Like it happened yesterday. And basically the end result is he choked of, Barron call and didn't win his gold promo and he has never hit gold and he talks about that moment like it broke him and now he had a mental breakdown and now and now he refuses to try to
Starting point is 01:21:05 rank up but he said he was like I tutor master players he does say that which is crazy shake shake is so funny because his volume is really low in the vaude for some reason and he's just laughing because he's like we're we're not laughing at this guy we're just talking to him and shake's just like what do you tell them? Yeah, what do you tell about your players? And it's such an interesting response from Shake, who is very good, and he's just listening to
Starting point is 01:21:30 a guy who's been sober for 10 years, be like, no, you guys play completely wrong. You should duo that guy to gold. That'd be great. What did that guy, you're getting, after this is over, getting him to gold, saving that soda guy. Saving private sona guy. But anyway, the thing that is sad is
Starting point is 01:21:48 Zip, I don't know if you can pull up Slimes YouTube. well I can read the comment oh yeah do you have it he said so he he goes the video and I pinned it he said hello everyone smiley face bracket reads the comments oh oh dear well it ended the way I figured by the way in this video I am not flaming the guy I just think you're not you're not interesting and I said I appreciate him and I was like relating to him because I'm old too and he's like well it ended the way I figured colon and then just a line yep and then he said at least some of them were dot, dot, dot, close to being nice. The internet really is what it is, which is fine. Though I wish I had more time in the interview, I could probably explain things in greater context.
Starting point is 01:22:30 More time? And it's a lot of people just being really nice to him. In the reply to him? Yeah, I think most, like, there's a lot of comments. Dude, this is so sad. Can I, maybe actually, you know what, I'm saving it for the pre-mail. If you want to hear my thoughts,
Starting point is 01:22:44 let's say, come join us in the pre-mo. Wait, why save it? Huh? Because we don't have much time left. We got damned like 15 minutes. That's true? Yes. No, we don't. Do you have five minutes worth of...
Starting point is 01:22:53 Just save it for the premium. You know what? We could... League? I realize, I realize that my life, my life starts to crumble when you guys get into league. Them?
Starting point is 01:23:07 Yeah, because instead of League Week with you, which we know is bad. It's League Week with you two, and it doesn't end. And it doesn't end. I haven't responding. No, about the trip. We haven't talked about it at all.
Starting point is 01:23:20 Like, like, he asked all day, yesterday I'm reading this group chat where Aiden's like, Hey guys, we'd just love to carve a tie to some time because we don't do in the pod today to talk about the trip. Because I already said, I already said, hey, I'm down for whatever we want to do. No, it's all good. It's all good. You, I'm waiting for the chancellors. He asked to meet in person.
Starting point is 01:23:38 We'll meet in person. But I understand that it's a big chunk of our time. And I myself am pretty burnt out. I remember yesterday. I understand you're in the war. I get it? I'm in a war with volley bear. And I know he's one's in zero. What are you talking?
Starting point is 01:23:53 You're in a war with yourself, brother. Shut the fuck up, Lovibair's not a part of this war. I feel like a, like a dog who just like takes the little bits of food he could get right out. Because it's like, it's actually in this order in terms of a little bits of available time
Starting point is 01:24:10 that puppy gets while his papa plays league. And it's like, with you, it was virtually none. Even through, even through a crisis. Yeah. Yeah. And then with you, it's, it's, it's, Slightly more than Ludwig gave during that time. And then with you, it's the most out of the three.
Starting point is 01:24:25 So it's like, Papa is like, Papa's like, it's better than it was in December. Like, yeah. Ludwig, I, you could tell how broken I am in general because Ludwig didn't respond to us about like the time. He was, he was okay about it, but they like streamed a bunch. And then you tagged me in Ludwig
Starting point is 01:24:43 because we didn't reply. It's like, when are we doing the podcast? And I replied as like, I don't, like jumbled English. I don't care. I saw it, because I looked at, I opened it up, because I went to the, I went to the magic castle where you can't use your phone in L.A., which is like this, I don't know, this mansion of magicians basically. Yeah, you're an apathetic magic. So I can't, you can't check your phone. He's a pathetic fucking magic.
Starting point is 01:25:05 Wait, you have been to Magic Casas? No, I haven't. You haven't? You haven't? The phone's the most magic thing in the world. It was also really, actually. What the guy does is he bring it up on stage. Oh, he goes, he goes, is this your phone?
Starting point is 01:25:15 I thought you were raw guessing that. The first act actually did do that. Really? A whole, like, integrated phone thing he did. Oh, my God. He was the one I liked the least. Scan my QR code. Anyway, I opened this up in the evening to see, like,
Starting point is 01:25:29 just to make sure we're on for the, morning and 5.53 p.m. which is like 455 minutes after your stream it ended and it's like a broken i don't care like all spaced out and spelt wrong and then just whatever ludwig wants i i'm not kidding after that session i just went i just laid in my bed not even my floor because it's a sacred place i just laid in my bed and just stared at the ceiling it's so sad to he laid in his bed it sounds like this is like what i feel like when i lose money in Vegas dude it affects my real mood in my real life. Yeah, genuinely, because this does happen to a degree with like, especially when I was pushing
Starting point is 01:26:05 for a mortal in Valorant, but this is why I stopped playing melee at the end of last year. Really? Yeah, I realized that when I started doing the Ludwig, the new Ludwig job, and I was like, I'd work, and especially during that time last year, I was really stressed. And then I'm playing melee, and I'm trying the hardest I ever tried. I play every day. I get coaching. I'm going to tournaments.
Starting point is 01:26:27 I'm very emotionally invested. and I realized that oh I'm stressed all day doing like my job and then I go do my like fun hobby which is like maybe even more stressful for me emotionally harder than your job is melee harder than your job maybe
Starting point is 01:26:43 psychologically psychologically for and I would like so I'd spend all week like practicing against Marth right I'd practice shake Marth all the time and I'd get like seeing all these like results and like things come together and practice
Starting point is 01:26:56 and then they'd be like week straight I'm vaudea and I'm doing all this shit and then I go to fucking Verdugo and then I lose to Y hat and here comes Y hat like last stop game 5 I'm losing a Y hat and Danny SF and then I go home to my girlfriend
Starting point is 01:27:10 and I just walk in the room was silent like a ghost and I lay down in bed and she's like did you have fun and I just like yeah yeah dude my girlfriend will message me she'll be like how is the riff today
Starting point is 01:27:22 and all dude I just message I'm like I'm just a big fucking lolcow on that Aren't you? I'm your big fucking low-cow boyfriend who sucks and fucking is and sucks and is a dumb bastard and she's like, you're my lull-cow
Starting point is 01:27:38 and I'm like, that's so sweet but I'm a fucking low-like, it doesn't help. It doesn't help. I think that's the hard thing is I realized that the problem is what she asked me if I had fun or like how did I do like there's no, we had reached a point in our relationship where she realized that
Starting point is 01:27:51 when I'm in that, when I'm feeling that, there's nothing she gets said. No, there's zero things that can be Yeah. Actually, nothing is the only thing that could be said. Nothing, nothing hits pretty good. Nothing gets amazing. I dead ass think. I dead ass think one day with me, I could fix you.
Starting point is 01:28:07 You cannot play a lane, bro. You are a child. It's not about that. It's not about that. I am like the Sona guy. I can train master players. I'm not master. I can just do it because I know.
Starting point is 01:28:23 I know. I don't move like I used to, but I know. Whatever. Well, I'm eight games down as of talking about this on today. Who knows what will happen today? Maybe I concede. Maybe Nick flies. Wait, eight games down?
Starting point is 01:28:35 Like eight games behind you? Yes. I'm eight games down. Wait, it's got to be more than that. Damn. No, it's not. It's not four per row. What are you at?

Starting point is 01:28:55 Dude, I can fix you. I don't think it's, there's no time to fix me Yes there is, there's so much time What has to happen genuinely to end this What do you, what has to happen right now For you to go to bronze? Do you have to lose One game? Just one? I hit my thresholds, you know how it doesn't let you go to bronze?
Starting point is 01:29:11 It protects you. Do you only get one buffer game? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You used to get two I don't think it's a random amount, it doesn't tell you Anyway, maybe I'll just send it Diana mid, who knows I mean, the thing is so volatile, like if I go one in fucking six and he goes six and one. It's a swing. We're back.
