Ep. 176 Premium - the old internet [VIDEO]

Cut to that one clip of slime saying " eh stone beard, me know ya feel bad man ya know" when the patois accent bit happens. That clip makes me cry laughing every time. Also the Brad pitt stuff was like so appreciated by the audience in the comment section of that clip cuz it's apparently extremely well done.

That Leo accent in Blood Diamond is not even close to a South African accent btw, like we have a lot of accents and none of them sound like that lol

imo most men who send unsolicited dick pics do it because they get off on the power trip of making a girl look at their nasty schmeat when she probably didn't want to. they don't think it's going to "work", they like the little rush of holding power over another person's discomfort for a moment. the rest are just god's own idiots who do genuinely think it might work, but i'd bet they're a lower percent.

my fav thing is when it's 2v1 against Nick in a debate, so he just changes his stance over & over

What stream were they talking about at the end? Did I miss something crazy

Hey does anyone know where to find the ultra secret bonus episode?

As someone who seems to never understand 99% of why the community has ever been mad at the boys I’d love a lost tapes episode once this thing reaches the end of the road.

Tumblr still lets you code your page to customize it!!!!!! Ngl it feels like the old internet still and that’s awesome

I had a pink DS too! Sick.

I'm a cybersecurity engineer, you can't really do any damage by going to malicious sites. You pretty much always have to download and run something, or enter personal information. Windows Defender is also really good now. I have to like severely cripple it in my lab during testing.

please god adjust the light from blowing out aidens face

does...does archie throw on a "warm" filter in post? am i just now realizing this??

A big reason there is less and less customizability on social media and everyone's page looking the same is device compatibility, with everyone watching on desktop, laptop, tv and differently sized phones its much much easier to make every page work as it should across all devices if it's all homogenized

anyone else not able to join the discord?

The children do yearn for the individuality though. If you look at almost any stan account on twitter they’ll have a personalized carrd attached to it. Maybe it’s because of the lack of child dominated spaces on the internet these days. They funnel everybody onto one platform and make it ideal for the jaded adult who has no time or desire to individualize their profile past the basics.

so uhh anyone know where the super cool secret episode is?

Okay so are you forgetting that people are allergic to dogs? You can’t bring a dog in a theatre im gonna start sneezing and break out into a rash if im sitting next your dog

wahoo!

Slime calling out on a whim that black and pink is the Tony hawk American wasteland color scheme perfectly exemplifies his weird bizarrely-tuned memory. I would never be able to pull that from my mind palace but as soon as he said it I was like oh yeah of course. That’s pretty beast.

The middle management bit, but everyone is wearing bald caps INCLUDING Slime

the internet is so homogenized somewhat beacuse all these big companies realized it was impossible to moderate and instead just limited posters through the algorithm/search

guys how do i join the discord

My filipino mom is forced to listen to you guys in the car. At first, she was wondering why a girl would listen to you. She admitted just now, "ok these guys are funny"

That Brad Pitt movie is called 'Meet Joe Black' from 1998. He is inhabited by the grim reaper in the movie, the lady is scared of him because she sees death in him. Its a avg/decent 90s movie. I do not remember that accent tho lol

To Aiden's credit, I would've also been shot if I was asked to remember Slime's banner.. and that was after noticing it earlier in the episode and going "huh that's neat". ADHD brain holes ig

I didn’t know what mohair was either when I bought the yard cardigan but from online it looks likes it’s from a type of goat, not an alpaca?

i think the reason bluesky does the ugly website shit is so you know john.microsoft.com is an official microsoft guy, or whatever, so verifications arent needed

59:30, new career plan, look homeless and camp around all of Aiden’s favorite spots for cash

18:17 yes Pinterest is more curated, has a certain audience, and has an algorithm

almost bacterial is weird to say Theo but I get it times is tough

guys where is the secret bonus ep? or is that not for tier ones

on the whole ads thing and the loss of individuality in web spaces I think its probably two things. 1. brands want to build a distinct personal brand that is about them as a monolothic object to look to rather than be a part of, if instagram offers myspace level customization instagram becomes a tool rather than a space and brand itself. 2. I agree with the driving attention thing, ads will always ring false if you arent interested in them and cold call ads will only ring more false and disgusting if they are contrasted with the unique and immensely more interesting individuality of a person. also, on the internet become more slop, I think everyone who makes content on the internet wants to be successful and leads to millions and millions of people essentially attempting to do what was the task of a room of 30 advertising execs for the last 100 years and its led to this massive almost bacterial evolution of advertising as a science I think this in turn has a feedback loop with traditional advertising agencies that then use those techniques to push ads, its really similar to how every musical aesthetic since the 90s (and sort of before) was absorbed into this commercial machine, its just that literally everyone ever now has the capacity and will to attempt to be a rockstar and there are these unimaginably massive datasets of what is and isnt successful that we essentially analyze by looking at who and what is successful out of the infinite hell pit.

Dude, I love the jeans that Aiden is wearing. Where can I get them???!

00:08:30 theres a place in Baltimore called the Charmery that releases all sorts of wild flavors like that. Every halloween they become the Harmery and release really fucked up flavors (this last year they did a baseball theme and one of the flavors was "Hotdog Race" (vanilla ice cream with swirls of mustard, ketchup, and relish))

My bf got a gum graft and it was miserable. Hope you're doing ok!

As a certified top 0.4% Ludwig viewer on YouTube, I love me a trio episode

I am so aiden pilled about dogs in public. I dont care what you do in the privacy of your own home but dont subject me to your poorly trained animal

Slime just seeing Meet Joe Black is kinda crazy

Can we just reboot Quantum Leap with Aiden as the lead

you can blame LA for a lot but salt & straw is a plague that was born in Portland first and we are PROUD of that filthy place!!!! give me those fucked up frozen thanksgiving leftovers and make me pay 8 dollars for it PLEASE!!!

How is aimen coming across the least like an LA socialite

shout out to aiden, i also only carry cash to give out to people, i generally do not carry any cash on me for myself

There was a bit in blue mountain state where one of the main characters took a dp every morning and sent it to everyone in his contacts because "one day it will work" . So I think thats the idea these unsolicited dp guys have.

So the reason bluesky has the weird @'s is because each account is a domain, and their monetization strategy is selling domains. You can use your own domain to for your account as well for your own branding.

slime saying he didnt see that clip from meet joe black is genuinely freaking me out rn

In Meet Joe Black Brad Pitt is an angel of death

also in that movie brad pitt is Death and he talks in american english the entire movie besides that scene, he code switches to make the woman in the wheelchair feel more comfortable. the comments in that scene are all like jamaican people praising him for his accuracy and dedication to trying to get the patois right, its insane that he did that and it isn't obviously problematic

everyones so srs abt this dog debate damn😭

I think advertisers are more quick to put their ads on sites which give users less free reign so that there is a higher chance it will be a friendly environment for their ad to be associated with. Like if Monster sold an ad to Youtube and I could make a Red Bull profile background, they are probably less likely to sell an ad to Youtube than they would be if I couldn't do that, and would definitely be less likely if I could make my background something not brand safe like anime titties or something

15:28 aiden you cant make a nymby joke post dog take. The white combine "bit" euroboo shit doesn't help your damn case. You actually are a nymby. There is no joke here. aiden n zipp 3 just going door to door looking for people with dogs and then they just throw kisses over the fence.

i ever see something like that brad pitt clip again im sending parts of my body to your studio.

marketing company office guy perspective re: "why do brands become homogenized with serif fonts etc." the broader your net, the more fish you catch. for huge companies like meta and google, they don't care about appealing to niche markets and individuals because the scale they are working on is so insanely large that individuals don't make that much of a difference to them. one size fits most is good enough when "most" is over 80% of billions of people. think of it as min-maxing individualism, which is inherently stifling to creatives. some of the "why does it have to look depressing to catch more fish" is normal stylistic trend stuff (minimalism has been popular for a few years), while some of it is also that internet 1.0 was in itself a more niche market than current internet 2.0 is; the type of people using the internet back in the early 2000s was a smaller cultural subset than the people using it now, which is like... everyone who has access to it. which is ALSO more people than it was 20 years ago. the closest we get to individualism now is profile pictures and individualized ads because that's as far as they care about you as an individual, really.

My only piece of advice before deciding to unsub for good is to be a little more patient and open minded with fans or just ignore them all together. You never know what they are dealing with. And the words you say can carry weight. Genuinly good luck in your careers! Y'all are very talented

The six weeks of winter are over and I am hungry. Where is the slop?

Genuinely this whole fucking time I thought the patois accent bit was because of the brad pitt movie im baffled

It's crazy that none of you have seen Meet Joe Black

Chiefing like Lud, spitting like Nick, roasting like Slime, and chatting like Aiden. Yep... tonight's gonna be a movie

My gamertag for a while was Buquackke, like bukkakke but also a duck sound. Sometimes you just have a thought nobody else wants so you don't have to worry about other people taking it

in the first Leonardo movie he is death and is on vacation in the human world

Slime = wrong. Mohair comes from goats. Alpaca fiber is just called alpaca

MUSSTTAAARDDDD

Is anyone else able to actually see any video feed??

Wow Ludwig looks great

can't wait for the main ep, it's gonna be hype

woohoo
