Ep. 246 - exclusive info on the nlsupercruise [VIDEO]

Going through the backlog rn, you can tell the yard audience is much bigger than it was circa 22/23 because so much of them seem to want some type of wholesome vibe rather than being the audience that cut their teeth on cumtown and love the edgier jokes. Interesting to see how that changes as I work my way backwards through the premos for the first time.

Darts is definitely the least attractive sport

The bowling slander man ☹️

Slime talking about how just cause society says it’s right doesn’t make it true and then saying “jokes are funny” but is the first person to spout normal California pc bs is always such a whiplash. Constant gay and misogynistic takes and jokes then snap to being PC if it comes to anyone they don’t like 😂

Ludwig’s take on pro athletes HAS to just be pure rage bait. Because if he is being genuine, it’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard anyone say ever in my life

volleyball player rage bait

It's crazy that people are offended when they specifically are not offending

volleyball players not being tall might be the most insane thing ludwig has ever said

I’m usually not a big fan of policing jokes as long as they are funny rather than belittling AND we are willing to have conversations like these around them. I think jokes that are funny should continue at the right place and time. More than often they bring joy to dark situations and might even help to alleviate some of the fear that builds every time news stories break. I hadn’t even considered that jokes like this could increase fear, but then again I’m not yet a parent. The effect I notice they have on me is that in laughing at the absurdity of horrible things and seeing others laugh with me (or even be outraged by those topics even being mentioned), I am reassured that most of society is united in this, is aware of the issue, and wants to protect children as badly as I do. As always, thanks Aiden for being the thoughtful and caring person you are. You always seem to care much much more whether people are willing to think and want to be better than whether they agree with you.

easily basketball are u shitting me

American football is most likely the most well rebounded sport to be the most competitive to play another sport cuz they have the most players drafted in all other sports while being drafted by the nfl

im tryna get max munt, see?

You all said quill

18 year old+ boys is insane

Rough episode for luddy huh

man this whole time i thought chubby cattle was some weird off brand applebees/red robin chain type shit, it’s been good KBBQ this whole time??

slime ate the devil froot

Their show, their choice. We get to stay and watch if we want to. Don't like the joke? don't interface with content then. Love the show keep it up.

3 chud non athletes debate on who is the most athletic

fresno mentioned cool

BASEBALL LUDWIG? BASEBALL? Fat chud 30 opinion figures edit: they came around to hockey I’m chillen

Get slime down to TX to try all you can eat bbq all 4 times I’ve had BBQ in cali it was dogshit and I felt sick COME ON DOWN TO TEHAS TRY OUR FUGGIN MEAT

My names Max Muncy, at home they call me Big Munce, and I hit dingers.

slime go take swim lessons! it’s swim to survive season everyone should know the life skill

I say we have “The Yard plays Baseball” and Lud can show first hand how insane Slime and Aiden are for even thinking being a Baseball player isn’t peak athletic form

Glad they addressed the pe do/ chomo/ and now map jokes going too far. They're never really funny. I've considered unsusbcribing and was going to if they went into that realm this episode. Instead they addressed it in a great way. Hope it opens the door and allows for more time for more jokes we can all get in on!

With the PDF File conversation at the end - it reminded me of my shift at the bar this past weekend. We had 4 dudes at the bar joking back and forth about how they like to have to check the IDs for the girls they date - that their “minimum was 14 or 15” and that one of the 50,60 year old dudes was currently dating a 19 year old. Those were examples of the “PDF Jokes” being just simply not funny

I really appreciate how well aimen was able to articulate his thoughts on the pdf joke debate. he had some good points that I hadn't thought of before

Would this make Aiden the Mike Love of the band?

couple seconds in ludwig has kinda of a crazy jacksepticeye

I think the jokes are funny lmao

Does anyone know the episode where they talk about the angels’ rally monkey? Or does anyone have a better way to find old episodes than scrolling a few then waiting a long time so it doesn’t refresh over and over?

am i missing somthing? was there like a controversy or something with the child pageant jokes?

5:30 the boys are all correct here, there is enough land for everyone without golf courses, the problem is with zoning, (and must add that developers have no disincentive to building luxury apartments and single family housing). For the "golf courses can be used as housing argument" yeah for sure, its cheaper than upzoning land, but golf courses use a bunch of water, and are usually built in areas that are kinda ass for houses (usually on old wetland) so environmentally they suck. Also the only war is class war so fuck them golf courses bb welcome to the Yard socialism edition

Most well rounded athletes have to be rugby League players man the mens and womens alike are freaks of nature

need lud to fire up his baseball knowledge and tell the guys about bartolo colon

43:30 Kid day made the jokes too real

I need Ludwig to look up a picture of John Kruk in his prime and tell me that he was a well rounded athlete

IMO height is an even greater advantage in volleyball compared to basketball. Basketball requires more versatility

The hottest sports bod is Gymnastics imo. its not even close

ludwig claimed to have watched an asu basketball game at a bar on stream. he said they played UCLA, the previous night UCLA had played U of A, not ASU but their in state rival. Never put any stake into any of his sports opinions since. Couldnt even recognize his own college team

This is how I find out Chubby Cattle is KBBQ. I thought it was like a burger place this whole time

the burp fucking killed me

lud is cookin with the cross country thing he just should've compared it too soccer physiques. There is a clear difference. A military guy who runs is not a cross country runner which is what that one of the guy in that hat looks like more to me. But it is like coin has 2 side to be a great cross country runner you will probably look like Christian Bale in the machinist with like 8 more pounds of body fat. Gymnasts tend to be biggest a physique can get without entering the body building esque gross musculature to the average male attracted person. Divers and swimmers are like what aiden and slime think cross country guys come off as. its not a dead horse. its tip2tip/lemonade stand normies not having a sense of humor lmao. Those same people like listen to NF and AJR bro. also dont get why burntpeanut is clowned lmao.

No no, go ahead and name all of the times. And name the offender as well

Ludwig worst takes tier lists 1. Sports 2. One piece 3. Music

okay im from south carolina idk wtf the restaurant is called but is it Chubby Cattle or Chubby Kettle? aiden always says kettle and everyone else says cattle

dear god ludwig has already chosen a new asian country to fixate on

awesome ep! i noticed i really liked ludwig and aiden swaping places. aiden gets more confident and natural, and seems to fit better as a host/staightman. ludwig with less spotlight on the sidelines looks to be freed up to just care about being funny, whatever the expense to the show (especially when he's playing nick).

Why is Ludwig so damn good at being Nick

Why is Ludwig so much funnier after getting back from China?

There was a post once that, I feel, encapsulates what Aiden said well: "If you are over the age of eighteen, you have no business talking to a person under eighteen ever." — "It's going to be really awkward at the dinner table when the parents stop talking to their kids." Children need adults. They need coaches and teachers and youth group leaders and big siblings and cousins and aunts and uncles and family friends who understand their hobbies and can pass on their knowledge. Kids also need safeguards in place to make sure they are protected against misconduct from these people. The tricky thing is that any of them could be nefarious and dangerous and need to be removed from the child's life, even parents. And sometimes a well meaning adult may not realise the harm they are doing. But a false suspicion or sexualisation of a relationship from the outside could also take a lot away, especially if it becomes the principle. I don't think we'll solve that on this podcast, but maybe not googling shirtless children could be a good start.

This is everything I love about The Yard. Its hilarious, we get real discussion on a topic that's difficult to communicate, and they make fun of Aiden.

Ludwig saying baseball is the hardest when it’s the one sport multiple professional athletes from other sports (like football or basketball) have played in at the highest level as a secondary sport. It’s fs either swimmers, hockey players or football/rugby players

rip nl supercruise

Short people are good wrestlers

So what I’m hearing is the dodger have to give people free stuff because no one goes for the game

petition for slime to take over the nlsupercruise

Aiden saying Scottie is the beat golfer in the world right now while Rory has won the last 2 masters is so crazy

I love hearing them discuss sports, makes me feel smart

Aiden's "keeping the Strait closed" joke was so under appreciated.

As a former basketball and baseball player, it depends on what u determine as “athlete” If athlete is based on the idea of being able to pick up sports and hand eye coordination etc; baseball players are the best. Most players I know are multi sport athletes who could have played any of them at most levels. If athlete is based on raw physical traits like speed and strength then I’d agree its probably soccer or hockey as soccer is 90 mins straight of cardio and hockey is so physically demanding both for cardio, strength, and agility Id say its definitely the former as its pretty common to meet someone who is jacked and can’t catch a football

Saying baseball players are the most well-rounded is crazy work. Especially when the Pod has a Canada & Colorado native. Hockey players are the most well rounded. Fighting, ice skating, precision of golf, contact of football, & their endurance. Honorable mention would be Rugby players and/or American football players.

Bro that moment Zipper showed the 8'1 volleyball player should be in the top zipper moments of all time lmao

Guy who only likes Shohei Ohtani - I don't know guys I just think baseball players are more well rounded athletes than anyone else in the world

the shutterstock photo of ‘the dude doing the running pose,’ is Josh Kerr. A dude who does running professionally

Baseball players would beat basketball players at baseball because it's more skilled based but the basketball players would CRUSH the baseball players in basketball because all you need to do is look at a picture of Babe Ruth

crazy how aiden recreated that smiling friends bit

can’t lie lud on a generational run recently. i hate to glaze him but he’s way funnier recently imo, between the pod and d&d i think the yard is the best it’s ever been and dubbin might be the person who’s ramped it up the most. everyone else was already on that wave though no politik here

Conspiracy theory. I found myself buying a Dodgers Otani hat while starting this ep and realized Lud must be getting secretly paid by de Dodgers to promote the team and get us to buy merch.

I disagree with the apparent criticism I don’t think the pedophile jokes are a dead horse

btw most NHL players are born in January not October, the cutoff for school year in Canada is December 31st not October

This is one of the best Premos in AGES

“Baseball is the most well-rounded athlete” brother you’re telling me Alejandro Kirk could play soccer or basketball

Someone make a petition to allow kids in the CS minor

For most well rounded players, as a total sports freak the argument boils down to this. Basketball players are the best athletes and its not close. The only thing that mess them up is playing Basball. Hitting in the MLB is impossible level hard, and the hand eye and tracking that hockey players have gives them Baseball over everyone. Then the physicality of football gives Hockey a real chance at the best there. I've had the argument 20 times, 8/10 its just people saying whatever sport is thier favorite like Ludwig is. The only one that definitely doesn't have a chance is Baseball. They don't have the cardio for Soccer. They don't have the size for Basketball. No one knows how to skate and hit a 70-100mph moving object other than Hockey.

Aiden getting serious about the pedophile jokes was really appreciated. Especially with the growing discomfort about the jokes. I hope the non-offending jokes don't ruin any future opportunities for Aiden. Whether that is sponsorships, event opportunities, future jobs or leadership positions. Or even just the parents of your future kids not letting their friends sleep over. It makes sense Slime so heavily defends his right to make MAP jokes. He's got that lovely bones vibes

hitting a baseball will be one of the hardest things a person can do in sports. i played just d2 softball as a pitcher and i know d1 athletes that wouldn’t even touch that.

Banger episode convo at the end was super interesting

Omg chubby cattle is a Korean bbq the lore grows

After watching the 38 min supercut of yard pedophile jokes it got kinda stale and unfunny halfway through. Also using the word MAP makes it feel more like you are legitimizing the word which started as a 4chan thing against LBGT people

Yeah so Tokyo Electron is a company that makes machines that make semiconductors

I think Mookie Betts has the best chance of any athlete to play in another sports top league.

Ludwig may have the worst sports takes ever recorded on film

Oh wow, another episode of my favorite podcast. I sure hope they don’t stop making pedophile jokes

I’m gonna say it Ludwig be meat riding baseball bro is bouncing and doing tricks on it for baseball

Yall should play deadlock

Why did we get Lemonade Tycoon Aiden this ep?

Funniest comment I saw on the NL announcement was “for sale: swim suit, never worn 💔”

CHUDLAN MENTIONED

Trying so hard not to fall for Lud's ragebait

The belch was a paid actor, that was perfecttttt

Ludwig is on drugs for the baseball player argument.

when the boys really get talking and listening to each other, yes sir right in the vein please

Texans QB CJ Stroud: "Football players want to be basketball players, basketball players want to be football players - and we all want to be baseball players."

Glad Aiden mentioned his friend saying hockey because thats the correct answer. I'd put basketball over baseball simply because it's a 2 way sport. Football last because you do 1 job and thats it (baseball is close to that but batting is hard)

It's baseball players aiden

Is the cruise an elaborate bit this can’t be real

I hate agreeing with Lud but he’s right about baseball player being the most well rounded or athletic professional athletes. You can take any baseball player and put him in any sport and they will do well but you can take any non baseball athlete player and have them hit a 90 mph cutter. They will never even touch it

I miss Nick

I LIKE KIDS TOO AIMEN!!!!!😤😤😤 EVERYONE SAY IT WITH ME!!!

they just need to watch Shaq vs and they can see the other sports argument

Slime’s burp was such great timing.

we want more pedo jokes, maybe get a non offender as a guest

I don't know a lot about sports, but the skills you pick up playing basketball seem way more transferable to other sports than baseball. I'm just thinking about the amount of sports that are similar to either and two teams running across a field to put an object through a goal is just such a big group. Even the simple fact that baseball is turn-based rather than real time feels like an inherent disadvantage to the baseball player. I guess hockey, either version, would be kinda interesting because you are using a tool, but it's more similar to basketball in how it's played.

Fire premo nick was sorely missed

I can see why there was more pushback on the "Aiden is a non-offending pedophile" jokes. It's just more blunt and "edgy" than the child pageant for adults only. I do still find both really funny.

Adult only cross country run (bring your kids edition)

Another day, another episode of Ludwig's sports takes that makes me want to blow myself up in a field.

Ripperoni Super cruiseroni

Murph!!! They canceled the cruise Murph!! This is a time capsule of the time before Murph!!

Overall yes on baseball being the most well rounded, but being a PO definitely lowers that bar. Just look at Bartolo Colón. He was a beast but looks like that

14:47 PAP SMEAR?? WHAT?? LMAO

All this time I believed chubby cattle to be this greasy disgusting burger joint with big gross burgers because I simply never bothered to check. And it was actually kbbq. How curious

Ludwig is a master rage baiter

Always sunny proved if you are really bad or really good at doing a accent it becomes no longer racist

Lads, I've got horrible news about the sex cruise.

Aiden fucking snapped with his commentary about children and mentorship. As someone currently studying Vet Medicine after Child Development, the systems in agriculture to mentor children and build those positive relationships is wonderful and truly pulls me towards it. Mentorship is so so important to resilience in bad situations and excelnce in great ones (read The Children of Kauai by Dr. Emmy Werner or Wild Things: the art of nurturing boys). There's a concerning social phenomenon right now in America - less and less spaces for children to have healthy 3rd places/ spaces to exist as kids. There's tons of dodgey practices in youth sports pricing children out, malls are closing and many are outright banning kids alone after 7pm (Nashville), park spaces are close and more and more spaces are being marked 18+ from restraunts and concerts to even weddings. Which I understand and there are valid reasons but this cultural shift has seemingly been growing as it becomes more common and less people have children at younger ages. As a result children are pushed online where there are no longer wonderful spaces because of corporate profit incentives where spaces like gaming is attached to addictive design and there is no ability to ensure safety - as seen time and time again with grooming and bullying. Which then furthers the overly concerned idea that contributes to restricting child access leading to greater desire for connection and less support/propper examples which makes them more suspectable to abuse. He truly is my favorite weatherman on the child news network.

Exclusive info: it’s joever :(

Slime can’t swim bc he hates getting wet this checks out

wahoo!

Hurts to see this one right after our hearts are broken :( RIP the SS Lion

It’s been scuttled bro 💔

Perfect timing to drop this honestly

they canceled the NL supercruise 🥀

excellent timing
