Watching in 2025 and Aiden saying "it's all fun and games until I get deported" aged like milk
Sam Dukes
Saying Ludwig would look good bald aged like milk...

just watched this in 2023 a few days after the guy who played Chandler died, and almost thought they were saying RIP about him not Gunther
Bekwi Natse
londoners prob thought nick was Irish

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

Nick's right, I came for ludwig, stayed for the boys
Mykola Forest-Chomyn
best primo yet
Bridger Parker
Yo I learned to crack an egg with one hand recently, always thinking it was super cool from the D-com Slime and Nick mention, but could never remember what the movie was called. Thanks for the memories (even if they weren't so great)

Just got premium a week ago, been listening to the podcast since ep 25, my dad is from Olinala Guerrero Mexico, and he did not teach me, or my brothers Spanish, or about our families ancestry. I still never heard his boarder crossing story. He was very adamant on a white family type idea, and wouldn’t even celebrate Mexican holidays with us or anything. Butmy mother thought it was important to teach us our history and about Our Mexican identity. Just relating to the story about the Mexican father opting to keep his kids from seen as the “other”

id watch a show with you three ez clap

Somehow later to the party but here for the pod. This ep was super strong.
cons00m
late to the party, but mostly here for slime.
Rob Carlstrom
I'd heard of Ludwig before but didn't know anything about him other than he was short and turns out that's not even true lol. My brother is a LudBud and knew I liked Podcasts so he recommended you to me and you quickly became my favs!
Jacob Johns
Do you have any clue who I am? Don’t you ever talk to me like that again- great episode tho
Kay
Didn't actually come from Ludwig and was surprised to learn he was the famous one haha. I assumed they were all random Smash players with no previous content creating history but always had hilarious stories. It was fun slowly getting to know the context behind everyone's backstory and how the Yard came to be!

As a yard viewer living in Leeds I feel I should say that I love the city, it's a great place to live

Have you heard of the "typolect" study that was done in the 70s and 80s? When they were talking about that I was brain-blasted into when I was reading it. Unfortunately, it was an unpopular study. I found it fascinating, though.

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

Honestly Ludwig is the only person that I would not care if he left no offence
James Bee
I came here from the ludwig show. These minor characters were interesting, so I had to check out the spinoff. Damn this spinoff is good, so Ludwig or not, I'm a yard fan. Also, I've found I relate so much with all of you guys that I'm specifically a Slime, Aimen, and nick fan now too.
t3ssaract
My dad did the same thing as slime's boss from Mexico. We're brazillian and he was made fun of as a kid for speaking portuguese, so he decided not to teach me or my siblings. Now that we've grown up he says he regrets it because knowing another language would've given us so many more job opportunities. I'm trying to learn portuguese on my own now just to feel less alienated from other latines. It's a struggle but I'm getting there lol.
Sniperplum47
Favourite episode by far, because lud is generally the main source of news/topic points, and in his absence the remaining members were far more creative in creating talking points and the episode had way more bits. For example the shitting on Auden doubled and there was way more pack watch talk
Marin Bergeron
Came from Ludwig, because of the truc cast and here for you guys
btweenames
Does anyone know where nick got his shirt?
sbin
Also with the accent thing yeah my parents and other relatives have said I sound like a fucking weirdo child but maybe they got the wrong guy at the hospital
sbin
Gabe bit is so much funnier when I can literally imagine where he is when he's walking out and being gunned down by Cindy and the firing squad
Jacob Neff
You think I'm coming here for Lud? We've had 2 years of constant Lud I'm here for the road dogs baby
Fraser Macdonald
The accent phenomenon is not exclusive to New Zealand. I am Scottish and I sound so absurdly American because when I was younger all my internet friends were American and I slowly changed my accent to make myself understandable and now it's drilled into my head and I struggle to speak without the accent.
Mark Aberin
I simply came
Nieander Pranesh
I'm in Manchester too and their accents are the best ngl
Zeb
Jon Tron is the only funny right winger
Rosanna McNamara
Please god tell me you’re THE Jennifer Coolidge
Asorous
You know it's a well-rounded friend group when any combination is still super funny
Dakota Sutton
Not gonna like I came to the yard because of Ludwig but stayed because of Nick
Deepto Chatterjee
I'm an American in Manchester for university and hearing your terrible accents made my day
Nic
Not here ‘for Ludwig’, here because the chemistry is fucking incredible between y’all. Genuinely funny as shit and helps me through the hours of public transit I ride each week xx
Jeb Bush
if an ol righty said they shit themselves at the geico last week i'd give em a chuckle
Matt Ande
Came for Lud stayed for the great group.
Jessie Maybee
I came for Ludwig but stay for all of you :)
Lou
The day slime stops doing the yard is the day i stop listening
Sneakyo13
I came for the Ludwig but I stayed for the comradery of the boys
Josue
Imma be honest, I wish someone was there for me like Aiden’s dad, it’s not like my mom didn’t support me but that feeling that someone is right behind you, pushing you to do better must feel so good.
Jake Malinowski
I didn't notice until this episode that Slime has skinny knees
Johnathan A Ball
I think out of all you guys I'd listen a lot less if Slime was gone
Jesse
The yard drew people in originally for Ludwig, but I think all the premees watch for all of yall. Was for sure still a great ep!
Jacob R Zielinski
Yeah I came for ludwig, but now that I know more about everyone I really just enjoy the group dynamic you guys have with each other, I think its really unique.
Blake Christianson
Fan of Ludwig but I started watching the yard when i saw a clip on Tiktok. I stayed and patreoned because Slime is my favourite human, Nick seems like a man who knows what he's about and Aiden always has the best takes, e.g. Spoiler's make movies and games funner, i like knowing that something will happen and watching it happen, being surprised by it adds no value.
Langdon Caldwell
I came for Slime/Nick/Aiden more than Ludwig, my favorite Ludwig stream was american truck sim during the subathon. Can't say I stay for a specific person but I definitely enjoyed this bonus ep.
dee
the aiden keurig nut thing about slayed me my roommate knocked on my wall to stfu i'm crying laughing
TraderJoestar
drummer/musician here. On the very short topic of whos who in a band, i get drummer vibes from slime, and guitar from nick and i really cant see it any other way. Aiden is sax for some reason idk. This is all based on completely subjective experiences with similar looking people lmao
Shootles
I would love to see if Ludwig could act as a corpse for a whole episode with Slime "Weekend at Bernie's-ing" him the whole time.
nabidiboy jones
they talked about boogie nights omg
John Johnson
Who's Ludwig?
thebrewsky26
I like everyone on the pod but I'm here for slime, actually found out about lud through trying to find more slime melee content
Moss
I do love ludwig-less content. I came bc of him but def stay for the other podcast personalities :)
Bluex Daedra
I thought he was at the cringe convention giving a speech
Panda Punch
No hate all love, but this episode has made me realize Ludwig is not crucial at all to the pod. He's the nice sprinkles on top but underneath there is a SOLID ice cream foundation.
2013 Acura ILX [critical condition]
There's a kind of balance between Slime's chaotic nature and Ludwig's lackadaisical self. I liked how unhinged this one was
Bek
“Best episode yet” - Me, Slime’s unrealized best friend
Josiah Eutsey
Best episode so far
Brendon R Stephenson
I think this episode was super funny and wouldn't mind having more eps of just the three of these lads but only occasionally
Risible Shark
I came for slime, stayed for slime
Angel M
also Nick is talking about Aiden walking in on him shitting & Slime asked, "Were you shitting in your bathroom?" . . . Does Nick shit somewhere else??? That isn't a bathroom??
Angel M
I nearly did a spit take when Slime said " After the shower, I like to lay on my floor [nude] with a space heater to my balls"
Sean
I was here because I saw Ludwig, but stayed for everyone else.
ArchTalko
9 minutes in and this is already the funniest fuckin premium ep
Jennifer Coolidge
BUT does the yard hate women???? bc you guys need to have QT on. she and aiden had such a cute dynamic
Jennifer Coolidge
i actually loved the dynamic in this ep. and think you guys covered more interesting topics and we got to learn more about you (personality traits that would make you unable to be a streamer, aidens childhood trauma, etc.) and i really enjoyed that. i love ludwig but he is naturally the center of attention and i think its fun when you all get to be.
Connor Cusick
I like the trio bonus because Aiden talked more
Kristin W
I came for Ludwig, I stayed for slime and aiden.
Mason Shackelford
I know someone from the deep south, whose whole family has strong accents, but she speaks the most nuetral, non-accented accent I have ever heard juts because she grew up playing games with people all across the US and Europe that spoke english
kaitlyn
for a podcast without ludwig they spent a solid chunk of time talking about him/ why they couldnt be him
Toby Rutherford
I honestly thought they were gearing up for a Keeps sponsorship the whole time talking about Aidan going bald
Walker Reinmann
Slimes white noise friends joke 😂
Joseph
good ep
Alex treib
you could totally do weekend at Bernies premo episode if Lud takes a few Xanax before/partway through the normal episode so he's asleep by the end of it
Hany Abdulsamad
Gotta agree with slime here, Aiden has 5 years tops of that full head of hair :P The degradation kicks in really fast.
Alex
That was the worst set of English accents I’ve ever heard lmao

I miss the old Ludwig
Emily
confirmed i was born and raised in australia, live in australia and other australians always ask where im from cause i have a bastardised american/australian accent from spending so much of my time playing games with americans on voice chat
TheTailbone
I want you to know that the entire bit of Aiden being Ludwig was fucking hilarious. Listening to Slime and Nick rip him apart by basically saying "you have a lot of sex" was funny as fuck. I typed that before you guys even asked about how the pod is without Ludwig, and for what it's worth I came here because I heard about it from his content, but like Nick said I stayed because you all are very funny and entertaining. This isn't "Ludwig Content" its The Yard, so it's all of you
Carter
Love the pod but you guys are crazy if you don’t think the episode where Charlie writes the DAYMAN play is the best episode of it’s always sunny. “You gotta pay the troll toll to get into this boysoul.” Is the funniest line in the whole show IMO
Gabriel B. Jacques
When is the Patreon exclusive soccer match to find out who’s the best player
CognitiveGear
I'm in the patreon simply because the content with all 4 of you guys is so entertaining. I consume a lot of Ludwig's content so the pod does feel weird without him because it still has the label of being Ludwig's Podcast in my mind. But, I feel like keeping up with the pod and the bonus content has helped me appreciate you guys more and more. You're each so individually funny and interesting and the group dynamic is always hilarious.
Ismael
dug the 'sode.
capnsquishy
this might be my favorite normal pod/bonus episode combo
Bryan Garcia
Holy shit slime you going in on Aidens freak bitch needs was amazing this was the funniest episode so far. Slime carried.
Rad
I come for slime Aiden interactions and Aiden reactions mostly tbh and this ep was great for that
Parker Waterman
I think that I’m here for you three, but I think ludwig does add a little spice.
SgtSlime
I'm here for your guys' interactions because they're funny, Ludwig being present adds another person cracking jokes but without him nothing changes. still funny lads sayin funny stuff
pey the musician
Cool episode, I agree that a lot of people came for ludwig but most of us are staying because of the pod as a whole
Camilo
Finished it. Cheers, a banger :)
Sean Privett
I came for more slime, paid for more nick, and stayed for more aimen.
CJ Bingman
i love lud but whether he’s here or not i would listen to this pod every week the second it’s posted
Lion Sharpener
Honestly I’ve always been more into this podcast than I’ve been into Ludwig’s stuff
Hylexia
To say that I'm only here for Ludwig is like saying I only watch the Office for Jin Halperp
Andrew Zick
slime hair truthers unite
Elijah Browne
This episode has made me personally realise that I’m like Aiden
Brian
Next time someone’s gone you guys should have zipper fill in. We’d love some zipper content
Dan McCarthy
first found Lud/Slime from Off the Sticks and have been watching stuff from the gang since then- bad melee, MPL and now the yard
Kjear
I actually don’t mind the prem ep without lud
Deer GF
holy shoot the camera work in this exclusive was so much funnier than any of the rest of the yard that i've been able to watch.
Krenko-boi
I was here for slime from start
ET507
I'd still be here without Lud. I heard about it from his channel, but he's the one I'd care the least about leaving, mostly because he makes so much content anyways.
jessica wold
totally forgot weeds existed and now its on my rewatch list
Slinky
Literally no quality dip even with Ludwig gone, but it felt like Aimen lost some of his humanity by sitting in Ludwig's seat
XannyPhantom
I started listening because of Lud, I stayed for slime cause he makes me not scared to be bald
Jason Queen
In case that sounded like I only care about when you talk about melee, totally not the case. If Sleepycabin didn’t exist, this would be my all time favorite pod
Fletcher Warmington
I came for the group because I always liked when you all would show up in a Lud stream
Jason Queen
I subscribed because I figured Ludwig and Slime would talk melee, since I came here from Mang0 and the 6-4 (RIP). I stayed because of all 4 hosts though. If Ludwig dipped, the vibe would be different though so I wanna say I’d stay but I’m not 100%. Just keeping it a stack. Love hearing from all 4 equally though
Archie
:)
Chase
I came for Ludwig I stayed for the group
Deirdre
I started listening to the pod because of Ludwig but continuing to listen and subscribing to the patreon was all of y'all. All of you are hilarious
Jared
In response to the question at the end, I didn’t subscribe to The Yard for Ludwig. I subscribed for the group dynamic. ^~^
SavaCheN
Came because of Ludwig and Slime, but also cuz I wanted to see more of Aimen and Nick and the whole group all in all after seeing the great content made on luds stream when yall were there
Christopher Villareal
3:24 is this like a Jim Carey bit or what
B. Traven
Need a bumper sticker that says I LUST & MUST BUST
Justin Pflieger
I really think they should do an episode where it's just the partners and Aimen's Milf of the week tho
Justin Pflieger
Everyone's over here saying they came for Ludwig, I just like the roomies and I was glad we got a way to see more of em
Narayan Baril
Archie, if you read this, the pub bit had me cacking, the little "oh" just brought it all together.
Quinn Miller
At this point I would consider myself more of a fan of y'all than Ludwig at least as far as the pod goes, however lud is an important presence because he unites you 3 against him
Zac Frantz
I came for the ludwig slime dynamic and staying for the group dynamic.
Narayan Baril
Hey Aiden, what was the super hot bit that related to the shower scene that you were saving for the regular pod? I didn't catch you referencing it during the normal ep.
Camilo
Not that this is necessarily better without Ludwig, but this was super enjoyable and a nice change of pace :) only 27mins in
SpoonsYT
On some real shit, I came for lud but I would be so down for just the 3 boys by themselves. Y'all definitely carry real hard.
Jevn Norberg
I came for Ludwig but I would stay even if he left
Brent Poppen
I'd watch this, even without Ludwig.
Quinn Miller
Aidan's dad is right about sports. Imagine being the 80 year old that's just learning golf everybody is gonna be clowning you for that
Mattmuri
You were asking stupid questions such as: epamy — Today (11-11-2021) at 8:45 PM: "would you give head to slime?" question directed at Ludwig
Kay
on the point of learning languages. I spoke spanish fluently at home but what kept me from developing an accent was like. English cartoons and my cousins games and cd's he'd burn
mohamad khawaldeh
i just got kicked from the yard discord im epamy#8102 why’d i get kicked
LISAAAA
shoutout to Aiden's GVS Smash sticker, just noticed that
