Ep. 243 - Yard Essentials: Building Aiden & Ludwig [AUDIO]

Banger

i want everyone who took that 'el-p is lil dicky without the irony' as some semblance of a profound statement, to listen to Fantastic Damage right now. GOSH this podcast is so fkn white

Aimen the shameless king

I think my favorite moment of Aiden's was him doubling down that he fucked Ludwig's mom and then called her about it.

El P used to be a battle rapper as a teenager in a group called Company Flow. I think you both would fuck with it

Yall should play deadlock

The beginning sounded like the old school hodge twins haha

Aiden Mccaig, Unshamed Jester

I'm not really a fan of streamer Ludwig, what he does is extremely successful and he 100% cracked the code, but personally I don't find that formulaic version of him very entertaining. I think he is extremely funny and charming on the pod or in something like tip2tip where it at least feels like a more genuine version of himself. That being said, I think if he stopped focusing on being streamer ludwig and more on winning games, he could absolutely crush it at a lot of games and still be incredibly entertaining, but he definitely would be less successful than he is now, because that streamer persona and formula is what got him such a big audience. Twitch viewers and clippers eat that shit up

Nick talking about Falco is why I love hero shooters so much. Having a main that you resonate so much with is such an interesting form of self expression it's really cool

i am so happy the yard has found the orb. all of my timelines have collapsed to one!!

This episode doesn't pass the bechdel test

I think body text here works as a quality for Aimen because it speaks to him being the lightning rod of the pod. He is not only willing and able to take his punishment, he plays into being the butt of the joke in such a different way than Ludwig. It's magic. It's electric.

this is that one episode of community where you see flashbacks to episodes you never saw

finally, the orbs of friendship... a parasocialites dream come true

My 2 favorite boys to hear from

Actually teared up at the melee section, where nick explained his connection with the game and falco. I’ve tried to explain this feeling before but never could, I feel privileged to have been able to hear someone put it into words eloquently. Thanks nick

I’m such so parasocial so Aiden this was great for me

Honestly, one of the best eps for us friend cucks

The essentials are the most unhinged because no one reigns them in and it's fantastic

my favorite pokemon is Maushold which is literally just 4 mice, which evolve from 2 mice

superr 😼

Friendship ended with power hour. Now yard essentials is my best friend ✊🏻

Gotta say, fully on Aiden's side on the quarter. He's the only normal person in that situation

Yard essentials era is clean

W ep, Yard Essentials stay winnin

seems like i should wait for the video version of this to drop

I’d pay for the higher tier of Patreon just for The Yard Essentials Edition

no. 1 fan of the yard essentials

Truly loving the yard essentials

wahoo!

Such a great listen
