Ep. 211 Premium - magic tier list [VIDEO]

hearing the names fromis 9 and red velvet makes me feel like i’m in a dream

hivemind beat the boys to mall store tier list 😔

"Baseball needs whimsy" is all I need to hear. Stick to the theatre boys

Western Bagel is the best bagel in la

LOONA MENTION u should listen to yves new stuff it’s really good!

I said "We go" too....

yard tattoo tour when

A minute in and they’re talking about yaoi hands what an ep

New Jersey has better pizza and bagels than New York. There is no comparison. My Fiance is from Queens and she holds the same opinion.

#beatitthroughthejeans

always love to see ludwig preach the one piece gospel

aint no way the old yard house was in goddamn rancho chimichanga

dump on another dump? that shits square

joining the masses and saying we gotta ban ludwig from talking about baseball

Ludwig has to stop talking about baseball. He doesn't know baseball. He isn't a baseball fan, he isn't even a Dodgers fan. He's just a Shohei fanboy. It's ok to admit that. Edit: Just got to the part where he tried to lump himself in with Japanese fans. Baseball has been huge in Japan for decades, they have the second biggest pro scene in the world. Does this dude not know who Ichiro is?

Talking about eSports that have proper died, quake i'd say is up there. the quake pro league shut down a few years ago and it really hasnt seen much action at all since

RL is honestly just such a high ceiling that there's always a 15 year old working harder than you and you can't get by just by being goated and talented

I can not listen to lud talk so confidently about baseball when he is so wrong

Between the Nachos, Wawa, and the bagel opinions I don't think Nick actually enjoyed the way food tastes.

alight a couple others have mentioned it but I gotta shoutout The Regulation Podcast (fka FuckFace) as well since they did a mall stores draft episode haha it was great! that would be a fun premo

Guy who only started watching baseball due to the Japanese star, commenting about how baseball only becoming popular when the Japanese guy started playing. Guys a dodger fan when the best historical baseball team is well represented in his home town

I know Nick isn’t talking trash about Babish’s food taste. Nick’s nachos take alone makes his opinions on food useless.

Yo nick real talk bagels/ egg sandwichs in Manhattan are mid i agree u gotta go to Brooklyn queens or Li for good bagels or egg sandwiches

same guy claiming he knows the best food in LA & AMC nachos are the best nachos

Lud's kind of insane for attributing the rise of MLB's success in the modern era for casual audiences to Shohei and not the rule changes from the '23 season to speed up pace of play

If you guys do watch one piece watch One Pace. It cuts the filler and spacing of the anime down to 400 episodes with much better pacing, only keeping the stuff that's in the manga. Ludwig probably knows about it though.

The ohtani glaze is getting unbearable

FuckFacePod did some mall stores and food court tier list episodes that were pretty great. would love to you the boys do it as well

Lud was bringing heat in this one 🤣

The pitch clock changed baseball. Made it way easier to watch

banger ep makes me wanna cancel slime

nick figuring out how olfactory senses work is fun

-5000 aura for Nick's New York bagel rating

baseball was only dead for 10’ - 16’ besides watching Mike Trout be the greatest player on the worst team ever, nobody watched it really

artichoke pizza is a crazy pull

fuck i love fromis_9

The convo at 57:13 is funnily something they should try in Vegas. My wife and I ate at a restaurant that is fully dark there. You cant see even an inch in front of you. Its a tasting menu where you don't know whats coming next. Actually quite fun. The servers wear night vision goggles and describe how to eat/find each course. If Nick and Lud want to prove their point they just need to eat there.

There is a 5 hour long video lecture from the ProCrastinators Podcast where one of them breaks down ONE PIECE. Since then we’ve gotten like 200 more episodes and the guy presenting had to leave out tons of both major and minor details. I think an 8-10 hour YouTube video could give an in depth understanding of the story but at that point just watch one pace

Holy fuck them talking about baseball and cars made me want to kill myself

I think the bagel argument is fair, New York typically is a very crusty bagel and LA is a lot softer. But I've also had better bagels in the middle of nowhere Vermont than New York or LA. You just gotta find somewhere that hits and give them your business.

Lud is right about the sho thing

Slime is the Tony Tony Chopper

artichoke pizza is so mid that reaction was justified

I have played/watched baseball my entire life and while ohtani definitely is a part of baseballs revival it’s not the whole story the games were way to long there was so much downtime of people just standing around for like 5 min at a time made it practically unwatchable because who is gonna carve out 4 and a half hours of their day to sit down and watch people stand around and do nothing and when there was action it wasn’t that exciting. fast forward to now the games are hours less than they were before the players are actually allowed to express themselves and be like flashy and stylish and pretty much made baseball cool again to kids. in short ohtani definitely helped but he wasn’t the only reason baseball is back to being trendy . also yeah unwritten rules are dumb as shit anyone under like 40 hates them the only people who talk about them are the boomers who are upset the players are having fun

two red velvet members left the company but apparently they're staying together... it's like telling me my dog went to a farm

Slime is for sure chopper

I think the reason esports die is because the game studio owns the ip and can demand money from tournaments or simply not allow them at all. LoL as an esport cannot exist if Riot does not exist. Whereas normal sports aren't owned by anyone, you can just go and form your own league and run tournaments, there are big established leagues sure but they don't own the sport. Also this is imo why CS is the goat of esports, Valves license explicitly allows you to run tournaments and form leagues and monetize them however you want without paying a dime to them (you also don't need to use their servers or need permission). Which is why even when esports were and still kinda are slumping compared to the peak CS was basically unaffected, it didn't really lose players or viewers and it didn't really lose prize pools, because it was already self sufficient in a way LoL or Rocket League are not and will not ever be. So until the day companies treat their games like real sports to the same degree valve has it's very unlikely any stick around in a major way, besides CS and probably DOTA though DOTA has other issues that could kill it. Also worth noting esports have other issues with being reliant on a particular game being popular but if that game isn't like melee or CS where it is kinda timeless eventually regardless of IP the sport might die because nobody cares to watch or play. Which is the bucket I think both LoL and DOTA will eventually fall into, as MOBA's are not a genre suited to that timelessness, though it might take a decade or two for them to actually die.

Listening to these guys talk sports, we need to get one of them into Hockey. I feel like i'de be like one of those "Xavier legette watches his first hockey game" videos.

new trendy stim phrase: heat check

fromis_9 mention

Crazy that I’m also a very pale red haired male that was also born on Aug 2nd. Crazy stuff

Before Shohei was big, the cool japanese baseball guy was Ichiro Suzuki

You should check out the regulation podcast, they did a mall draft where they drafted stores in malls to see who got the best list. Great content!

I think marvel rivals definitely has aura especially next to other current hero shooters, it’s also very innovative and refreshing with a lot of interesting already pre established characters which is very good. The only cringe part is that they appeal to gooners but that’s.. passable.

Aiden is definitely the Chopper

Slime is Usop mixed with Franky if u compare him to the straw hats, imo

we go is a banger

Anyone who was alive in 2012 can name at least one kpop song

slime is franky and it's not even close

Ohtani started playing in 2018 so lud is just yapping.

the mall store tier list idea is fire but also literally a hivemind video

Is Sanchovies the same guy who got fired from Riot for calling Tyler 1 a slur?

Ludwig is 100% about shohei ohtani revitalizing baseball, and it peaked in 2023 when japan won the World baseball classic, and ohtani struck out americas best player Mike trout

Nick and Slime watching the first few episodes of One Piece for the primo lol

I've gone to so many "highly reviewed" places in nyc and I can attest to how many of those opinions are cemented with good company or good drugs. There's a lot of false positives. That said, the best bagel in nyc sleeps the best bagel anywhere else in this godforsaken country. And another thing! If you like a bagel from somewhere else better, it's probably not even a bagel <3 Doesn't mean it's not good, or even great, but it's probably not a bagel

You got a bacon egg and cheese on a bagel and ranked it as a bagel? Sorry Nick youre takes shite. BEC goes on a roll not a bagel

Come to boston (cambridge) for the best bagel, even new yorkers know this

How do you know I'm 23?

Sadly Ludwig is right about baseball. Basketball is going through what baseball went through right now.

wahoo!

I loved the mall idea. It made me want to go to every shopping mall around here but not be able to afford as much haha. And yeah the lifespan of a lot of K-Pop groups, they stop being relevant within 5-7 years I would say. A lot go under sooner, but you just never hear about them after maybe a song or two. Red Velvet actually still does pretty well all things considered for how long they have been around and the minor controversy they had with Irene and the hair stylist I believe it was.

The mall idea is sick. Could do it in theme for Christmas and buy someone else something from each store and then rate it based on the gift. And have who you shop for rotate or change between stores

Presentation is 90% of taste, probably isnt accurate, but it's something I've heard in multiple kitchens and catering events I've worked in. So I blindly believe it

I bet a slight of handjob goes crazy

I also started getting into baseball in 2021 because how big Ohtani was i don't follow the Dodgers but the attention he got was so big it had a impact on the entire sport

If a fish in the stomach makes you a magician somebody better get steve-o a hat

Not slime not knowing RV is essentially taken out back and shot since two members didn’t renew

In Orgo we learned that anti-freeze/coolant is sweet because of ethylene glycol and that they had to change it so kids and animals would not consume it :O

this is the perfect episode for my brother who’s obsessed with cars and me the kpop stan

i felt so attacked at the 23 yr lesbian barista comment... bar for bar bro

“Do you have any tattoos” went unnoticed and it was so wild

“Boston PD! I got a butthole where my penis should be!”

Omg I went to Brooklyn once four years ago and I had artichoke pizza from artichoke pizza, shit was fantastic

lud isn't far off his baseball being dead timeline, but it came back because of Pitch clock / timer rule change in 2023 not because shohei is good lol

FROMIS_9 MENTIONED, SLIME MY GOAT

nick movie theater nacho guy says nyc pizza and bagels are mid

Don't know who my dad is...but I wonder what his dick look like?

Native new yorker, there are definitely both bad bagels places and bad pizza places, especially in manhattan. The bagel place nearest to my apartment is pretty ass and this issue has increased over the years as more trendy places pop up and the quality slides. That being said, bacon egg and cheese is better on a roll than on a bagel in my humble opinion

If there’s any god, he’ll convert slime to a one piece fan

literally never expected to hear slime pull fromis9. bro knows ball.

All the people I know who play Rocket League are in their 30s-40s. Except one of my friends who is in his mid twenties

I was never a huge fan of k-pop growing up, but i remember booting in to watch GSL on some stream through VLC and before GSL was some like top 10 Korean music video countdown. Haven't thought about that in years but something about their kpop conversation brought that back.

as a person from the IE it’s so funny hearing them talk abt pomona and rancho and ontario. come back!!!

The reason people’s career are essentially over at 23 when it comes to rocket league is that each new younger 18-19 pro is somehow almost always significantly better cause the game gets new tech every so often and some older rocket league players that used to be goats just can’t keep up with the game evolving (to an extent not all pros fall off) I mean if you look at kronovi who was the goat for years just kinda fell off cause he either didn’t pit in the drive as much or just couldn’t keep up and evolve

nick got a bad bagel experience and this is his big brain strat to get good bagels

Note from a side show clown: David Blaine does more sideshow/freakshow acts. Magicians do tricks and lies.

If we would use another liquid then oil for cars we would probably use ethanol. Cause we already kindoff do that. And in Brazil it was 100% ethanol for a short period cause they didnt have an oil deal or sum

Nick doesn’t like good bagels, that’s okay

On the topic of baseball, i think the pitch clock has been an absolute huge factor in keeping the pace of the game more manageable and has helped quite a bit with its popularity.

Idk if u can find a bad bagel on Long Island

Grass lookin a bit overgrown

The 2hollis lalapalooza joke was so good

I was surprised no one pointed out the Japanese saying about the first bite being with your eyes and they have a whole art form around how food looks and is presented

I think mall store tierlist is a great idea, hivemind did one and it was entertaining

listening to this podcast while sitting in front of grid coffee…

everyone knows that you gotta get a bagel at a bodega that also sells zaza

cant wait to hear nick and slimes thoughts on one piece

Coolant doesn't kill anymore it has been replaced with glycol which is typically food safe

Bro Ludwig, you had absolutely no one in your chat during the Shop LCQ that knew ball, because we were all in the team stream on CJCJ's channel or watching one of the other pros casting, you need to hit CJCJ up to get a crash course in understanding RL. Plus, the worlds that Shopify just qualified for are in Lyon France and you can go and smoke cigarettes and attend worlds. For context, in RL France has been producing most of the goats for the recent history of the RLCS, not to mention the biggest orgs are all mostly French. It's going to be an insanely hype worlds, you gotta go.

SLIME brother kpop please listen to gfriend they disbanded but they are my favorite group 🫡

can someone let me know if they pop any balloons in this episode? i have a phobia of balloons and won’t watch this episode if there’s popping :( but if nothing pops i can probably listen to it

its the pitch clock you weeb motherfucker

I think a big reason baseball is back is because they made the game shorter, the don't go over 3 hours much anymore, a lot less downtime. Superstars always help out sports but I think the rules to make it faster contributed to making it a lot more watchable side note: I think it's the ultimate sport to watch while multitasking, because if something cool happens the reply can show exactly what happened and it's not like football where the replays show an angle or two and doesn't always get to show the whole play before the next one.

Yard K-pop fans do yourself a favor and check out the Jpop band BREIMEN. They play funk fusion and all their instruments live it’s extremely impressive.

At 49:47 ok but what if I asked you for the best nachos in LA… you might have some people a little disappointed. I do want to try those hot Cheeto ones though

Was talking to a buddy of mine who has a kid about Banana ball. It’s apparently a 2 year wait to get tickets

Lud saying baseball was dead from 2005 to 2021 is hilarious, considering his hometown team had two Japanese stars during that time. In 2007, the Red Sox made a major move by signing Daisuke Matsuzaka out of Japan. He became the first Japanese player to start and win a World Series game. Then in 2013, they signed Koji Uehara, who not only won the AL Championship MVP but also threw the final pitch to clinch the World Series.

As an ex-college baseball player, Ludwig's take on Shohei and baseball is pretty solid, but he's still a weeb for thinking of that right away.

Slime’s such a good teacher

Nick, with the right pressure and temperature anything can be a gas. And "gas" is gasoline, not gaseous.

👁️👅👁️

Y'all think 13 eps gonna be long enough for them to record season 2 DND before 2030?
