Ep. 224 Premium - friendslop [VIDEO]

Aiden saying his plan has drawbacks when the drawback is targeted racism.

As a baseball lover, pinch runners and hitters are stupid

"toothy top from a goddess" is one of nicks best one liners ever

Baseball commentators need to fill a lot of time in between plays so they will oftentimes talk about players, good or bad, or just random conversations. They’re very entertaining. John Kruk has highlight videos of him commentating games

honestly its so swag you can be fat and a millionaire pro baseball player

38:48 that one Arthur episode

"Racist Aiden" redundant phrase there, kinda like Chomo Pete

Wow Aiden has literally become Slime

friendslop has to be the most elaborate bait ever lol

Ludwig sounds like Pim lmao

nick should photo shop a gorillas head onto the body of that girls kid

there's 1 guy who got big and huge hitting dingers and also steals bases like a demon

3 nerds learn sports are compelling night in and night out by relating it to competitive video games and movies

Ain't no party like a Yard party, parce qu'une partie de Slime ne s'arrête pas

Ex baseball player who used to have season tix in Boston speaking on why it’s booming rn: they’ve been implementing rule changes like pitch clocks and extra inning modifiers to shorten games for the public eye. It’s been doing wonders for in person and watching online

The balance for pinch runner / pinch hitter is that once you are subbed out of a game you can’t be subbed in. So if you take Tubby McHomer out and replace him with Pathetic Mrrunfast then you won’t have Tubby in the lineup anymore

Gotta leave my two cents about dota. As a dota player I rarely encounter toxicity. Not to say there isnt toxicity. In NA there is definetly just plain racism against Peruvian players which sucks to have. But I would say as a whole when you hear someone complain about toxicity in dota it's usually a self report that they are also toxic. If you come at the game with kindness I find almost everyone will reciprocate it. If you get passive aggressive with people about their lack of skill then you get attitude in return.

"voice chat would fix everything" -said by literally no woman or gay man

I feel like MOBAs definitely are just more toxic because on games like Valorant or CS2 the toxicity is infrequent and not intense where as games like DOTA and Deadlock have people getting into genuine shouting matches and calling each other the most disgusting things..

The irony is Slime is that school kid they talked about being nice to juuussstttt in case.

I want you guys to know that in germany GTI drivers get called pedophiles all the time. It roots from the fact that the adult guy with a highschool girlfriend back in the days always seemed to drive an GTI so thats the connection for many people. Just a little unrelated funfact.

The thing about baseball is when someone is taken out of the game they cannot comeback in, so if you have a great hitter and you get a pinch runner, that great hitter cannot comeback back.

Holy shit slime eating the guys soul instantly is so hilarious

can confirm, noone gives a fuck about baseball still.

Mk7 GTI gang

I really like The Rumor Queen

Aiden wants social credit score for games

My GOAT Slime pronounces Nevada correctly

I’m even more scared of slime after learning he ate a man’s soul

That geoguessr guy just found slimes house

Their talk on baseball commentary reminded me of Brockmire and some of the calls made up for that show, some really funny stuff and worth a watch.

nick looking into the camera after his car got called out as charlie kirks wife is just killing me

even hearing the words “stride gum” gave me flashbacks

I ate a shit ton of stride gum growing up and from what I remember it was edible for sure i just preferred the texture without it but I had friends who did it constantly

Same shit happened in KC when we won the world series. Felt that way to me too, but it has died off since.

If you want highschool level rumors now you gotta hang out at tattoo shops or barbers LOL

Guy who like mang0 cuz hes good at melee: “why does ludwig like shohei?”

its funny that aiden's solution is to show real name. when xbox 360 had it figured out 15 years ago. you simply rated players based on friendliness, helpfulness, toxicity, etc and you would get like a green smile or a red frown as your rating. then simply queue green smiles together and red frowns together. so if youre chill you get grouped with other chill people. and if you suck, you get grouped with other sucky people. and eventually you delete your acc and start over and decide to be a better person so you dont have to queue with asshole constantly.

IVE BEEN SAYING CARS SHOULD HAVE PROXIMITY CHAT FOR YEARS

Me and Nick's FYP cycles are synched up rn... Im only being fed Traxnyc gold, Coop TCG, and the "should I open it or keep it sealed" guy

Casually dropping the first real million dollar idea of "cars with proximity chat"

The Lemonade Yard

13:54 your brain creates things called motor programs for things you do often- it’s why you can get faster and do things like write letters and symbols and eventually do things from “muscle memory”— it’s also why you can have a basic understanding of how to throw a ball or write your name with your left hand even if you’ve never done it, but the engagement with the movement is still foreign enough for it to be noticeable

proximity chat in cars and government names associated with your gamer tags are kind of in the same universe of ideas. make people suffer social consequences for their bad behavior. the cars one would deal crit damage to the socially anxious community but i think its worth it.

It's so awesome that Elon musk's greecian punishment is to be a transphobe that ends up growing huge naturals

reddit is not digg. reddit killed digg. and now this year one of the reddit co-founders bought digg. it still exists and it sucks

RAV4's are banger vehicles and I'm tired of the slander. I've got a Camry and a Tundra, and they'll last forever. The working class appreciates reliable vehicles

If you get subbed out for a pinch runner, you can’t go back into the game. Once anyone gets subbed they can’t go back in

When they bring in the pinch runner, that player is now in the game. Whoever hit the ball and got replaced is done for the game, the pinch runner will take their place on the field also, not just for running the base

If online games required me to show my personal info to everyone else, I'd never play online again. I don't need some 17 year old dipshit swatting me or calling my work because I missed smite.

People are weirdly into baseball now, more people have mentioned baseball to me recently than in my entire life

FYI it is only in LA that baseball is booming I experienced the same thing when KC won in 2015 everyone was into it but then once the Royals started sucking again and no one cares again.

Mk7 timeee, add a sway bar, itll make the rear a little stoffer but itll corner soooo well

American who knows 0 people into baseball here, this podcast is my only exposure to anything baseball related. Doesn't seem to be popping off from where i'm at

nick look fly af here damn, lowk sid from toy story fit but its hard nonetheless

Aimengaimen, the mk7 tuning scene is insane, it's one of the most highly supported platforms in terms of newer euro cars, along with everything else using mqb platform, it's pretty cool. Not sure if you have a gti or golf but legit, drop in an is38+supporting mods and get an off-the-shelf tune or something and you're at 350-400 hp, although probably not legal in California. I drive a base mk7 golf, stage 1 software alone with no supporting mods makes it as quick as a gti, there's so much potential. This has been my special interest since 7th grade thank you for coming to my ted talk.

nick most definitely watched the blue jay commentators i was and they talked abt almost every dodgers player and play in that same cadence and "talk-shittery" fashion. I'm not a dodgers fan or much of a baseball fan but was watching bc my friend had accidentally put in a bet for the dodgers to go back to back last year probs around game 5. $2 to win $240 or something like that

Pinch runners fully replace that person for the remaining duration of the game so it’s more a last ditch effort to get a run. As such it’s risky because if they don’t get the run to win the game you’re now down a hitter who might otherwise be able to get on base and have replaced him with a guy who’s fast only beneficial IF he gets on base.

Wow I went to school in kentucky and I know all of the things nick mentioned and ive been saying for years that cars should have proximity chat!!! Also I agree with slime on friend slop its a good theory.

if there is a pinch runner in baseball, the person they are running for is now out of the game.

slime not beating the tylenol baby allegations by deep diving into the mechanics of friend gatherings (i agree)

This release schedule might be an overcorrection from dnd boys

MK7 GTI SUPERIORITY

Is it weird to anyone else that the primo episodes are getting released first now?

As a mariners fan, the announcers were doing the same degrading shit in our series

Has Nick ever dressed up as Dr. Mario for Halloween?

I vividly remember being told you could eat the paper with gum too

yes nick, baseball is experiencing record growth in attendance and viewrship for i believe 3 consecutive years now

I see a weight has been lifted from the pod

wahoo!

Another Episode without Ludwig. Yay, im happy we can have nuance here in this ep.
