this might be the best 30 minutes of premium
We need merch for this. Yard logo on the hat with the thin neon line!
tomatoanus mention!!!
one of the best episodes of all time. so great
As a civil engineer who does construction inspection I almost had an aneurism in my cubicle listening to these guys talk about construction
Holy shit watching this after hearing the announcement of the engagement and at 16:40 Ludwig almost leaks that he has a beautiful fiance but catches himself saying "beautiful f-f-fucking beautiful girlfriend" instead 😭😂 if I had seen this before I woulda that he was just stuttering
So funny to hear a Nooksack reference on here. I dated a girl that was from the Nooksack tribe when I was in high school lol
16:40 fiance slip
To the point about the president being the deadliest job: There have been 45 presidents, 8 of which have died in office. That's a fatality rate of 17.78% Which is insane given the highest reported fatality rate for a normal job is less than 1%. Now you might say that it's disproportionate because the job tends to select for old, sedentary men, which fucks with the stats. The thing is, 4 of those 8 deaths weren't natural causes, they were assassinations. Meaning even if you completely take out illness it's still got a fatality rate of 8.89% Which is wild.
This episode has single handedly made my Patreon membership worth it
As a uk watcher this is what every episode sounds like
As the wife of a hi-vis man, I support aiden
This is the best episode of Squidbillies
This long fella from Entiat got some good points
Bro I fell asleep to a tomatoanus video and woke up to the "don't kys" part and i was in a daze I thought I was losing it
BANGER EPISODE
Aimen gaimen bringing his A game to the pod, you love to see it
What a great ep
Aiden awoke with a sexual energy that made me cream. he was electric this ep
Ludwig is so damn judgemental of the thin neon line its FUCKED up. I wonder if breslyn would have gone into the service of the neon line
leonas goated ep
23:54 Lud accidentally invents Quebecois
Great episode! Where's the tier 2 content lately?
Goin to the rocking r in the bozone for some tail after a 12 hour shift tonight god bless bozeman montana
Lud nailed a crucial QTE at 16:40
manitoban who used to be a surveyor here and i just have to say wow
I need someone to tell the boys about Riel
shout out Whatcom county shout out all the rural washington towns filled with people that sound and dress like Cleatus
The palm springs of Washington was mentioned, crazy!
Aiden's best won't stop me from clocking Ludwig stuttering at 16:40 and almost saying "fiance"
I'm so excited for them it's actually insane
Aiden's bit is unironically what my brother does for work in Washington
How do you have a spinning dog
Manitoba mention!! 🦬 we have no roads or buildings
Watching this episode after Lindsey Graham’s death goes crazy
54:38 Nick being interested in the surveying equipment cause it's made by Leica is so funny lmao, imagining a rich film camera guy using this as the tripod
What I would give to put him in a room with Markiplier to talk about historic lenses
Absolutely W goons today from Aiden McCaig
I love it when he comes with a character, his heart is still honestly here because he gets to channel some silliness with some of his closest buddies and it's genuinely so nice. Maybe they're also not bullying him as much about LS 😁
i step away for 3 seconds and theyve swapped seats. i cant tell whos who anymore
YAKAMA MENTION RAHHH
16:41 Almost leaked the proposal
Lol I actually worked on an offshore oil rig. There’s actually a surprising amount of bodybuilder types. We got a good gym and unlimited free food. Lots of those guys don’t have to do shit for the 12 hours they’re on either. They just hookup the Xbox and lift until we need them
The religion should be called the one religion
I'm a construction worker and I approve this message. I build horse barns. No bucket required
love when slime is just smitten with aiden when he puts in a good shift on the pod
Nick showing how trickle down doesn’t work
Haven't laughed that hard in a min. Just an insane gulp from Aiden to lead into one of the gut wrenching story. RIP Darren
All-star performance by Cletus, sucks aiden couldn't make it today tho
Ludwig at 16:40 was gonna say fiancé and caught himself
tacoma mention hell yeah
Aiden calling out my hometown in the end there will never not get me...that poor Dairy Queen
I feel like Ludwig kept trying to break the bit but Aiden hit every fucking QTE man
Next games project is a reimagining of Elden Ring but you have to defeat Aiden at his most charming & earnest. Even when you win you lose
This might be the best ep yet
I've looked it up before cause I'm a delivery driver and found out that my job is nearly twice as lethal as being a police officer per capita.
commercial fishing and oil rigs made me have more dead friends than fingers, music killed the rest, tell your friends you love them and don’t do drugs kids 🤙
Cletus doesn’t have a manager he has a foreman
My uncle is a drone surveyor in Pitt, THATS where money is
Aiden needs to stop referencing places I live fifteen minutes from. Was in the Nutsack last week
Me when I’m an embryo
aimen really does show up giving us his best. all time aiden ep
6 weeks on 6 weeks off is the best aiden bit since you wouldn't be mad if I was cow
does the boy in neon pummel corgis into a fine paste with a jackhammer?
aiden is a powerhouse
No way we’re just gonna gloss over “do you think a birthday cake can have a pussy?”
It's so hard to choose a favourite moment but i loved the little jab at just renaming the ACA to instantly change how people feel about it
crazy they talked about the camo condoms and no one says "you'll never hear 'em coming"
Patreon episodes are Aiden's playgroud
I would’ve right when u bust into the neon condom it would look like a lava lamp
4 presidents were assassinated. Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Kennedy.
wow
this was an all time ep, thank you
Possibly Aiden’s best ep to date
Lmao no way, @45min, I’m literally passing that exit now as I’m listening to this
10/10 Aimen, no notes
Hall of fame patreon episode
my dad's name was Keith and he once broke his back because he fell from the top of a tobacco barn then got really mad he had to go to the hospital
aiden saying "breaks my heart" made me cry laughing
ludwig has brought up manitoba multiple times in this show now what’s up with that
Honestly, I feel bad for non patreon viewers who missed out on construction Aiden
Genuinely crazy to hear while I work construction in Washington 🥀
#HiVisRarelySeen
His blue may be neck but his red is collared 😔🫡
Actually can’t look at Aiden this ep, the crispy clean gear is triggering dark memories of annoying men seeking new baby mamas.
“Neon Condoms, put a hat on your hard”
Notably great episode
Camo condoms is what happened to Graham Platner
5 years and they still electric. I still have to pretend to cough to hide laughs when I listen at work
I think this Cleetus guy is Aiden
I had to turn this off in the gym because I was laughing like a fool on the bench press
I knew it was Love Live Sunshine and I was crashing out during the main episode.
Yakima mentioned
My brother lost the tip of his finger on the Jimmy John's slicer on his last day there
This is up there with the donut argument for best patreon ep
This might be Aiden’s Magnum Opus
This is my favorite episode
Ludwig got the Lego minifig hair
completely electric episode, that is all
honestly i love the tomatoanus no feeling is final interludes. trojan horsing mental health help to gamers.
As somebody who lives in Montana, it's funny to hear somebody say it's in between Kalispell and Bozeman. That shit is like 5½ hours apart
Took one look at Aiden and bought truewerk pants
The neon cum canisters killed me this was by far my favorite Aiden episode he killed jt
got damn these damn boys still got it
Brother Aiden in this episode is so electric I think they should just release it on YT and let the whole world see
this might be the best performance the yard has ever seen from aiden
Literally right next to the Chesapeake Bay working my blue collar job and it's just so nice to be seen
The thin florescent optic yellow line
As someone who also grew up in a small washington town there was kids at my high school that would always wear high vis and construction clothes to class
I've honestly until this very moment thought this was a universal at every high school along with the camo kids who went hunting after class
10/10 Beautiful work That construction worker guy is all right
So glad I waited for the video for this episode
our 5 year anniversary present was an all time Aiden performance
banger
Is 54:29 a real subtle Minari reference? It's the only way I think you'd make the connection between chicken sexing and dowsing.
what an oddly generational premo
bought the patreon to listen to this
after this and the aiden solo ep, don’t ever ever ever ever say aiden doesn’t bring his best ever ever ever again
After 5 years, the boys finally caught their stride. They let Aiden taken the rein and the show seemed whole
Aiden was electric this ep
I love when they let aiden shine
I heard Nick say Leica and activated like a sleeper cell, we use their laser scanner for engineering work
Manitoba reference on the yard feels like a fever dream.
Maybe the funniest episode of all time
WD40 condoms
A helper in reference to trades/construction is a guy you pay to go get shit for you while you're on the ladder, or have your hands full with whatever. The goal, as a helper, should be to learn a trade/skill from someone.
Ohhh thank you! I'm used to calling that a "ground" or "grounder" (construction adjacent)
i live 45 minutes outside of Bozeman, lots of construction happening there i tell you what
the sunny reference may be my favorite joke ever made on the pod 😭😭😭😭😭 hes already used to it
Very rough ep choice for my workout
aimen unironically looks like every midwestern man i’ve ever been with
aimen? aint that the lego ceo that stole a bunch of lego?
The little men in my tv ain’t supposed to know the town I live in! But tell ya the thin neon line is strong out here in MT
This will go down in top ten Patreon episodes of all time, r.i.p Derrick
exit 170 off I-5 is actually right at the start of seattle (and not a bridge, there's a bridge right off 171 tho), so you'd be driving down not up if he died on site to go tell his wife since tacoma is south of seattle
this is maybe aidens peak
This episode feels like a fever dream.
crack it open like an MRE is what got me the hardest
me soyjacking at aiden's washington references
Manitoba mentioned!!
Genuinely a top 5 episode
Was there a group meeting about interrupting Aiden less during the pod? Both in the main ep and this one, it's noticeably better.
Aiden is fucking electric this ep oh my god bro
I started working as a concrete finisher in 2016. It was hard work but I enjoyed it. My boss and I were both drug addicts, so I quit in 2020 and got my shit together.
Aiden had been ELECTRIC recently i love it
Aiden baby your electric
I hear Aiden talking but it’s Ludwig in his chair switch back pls
roofing is construction lol
Speaking of phones in the workplace, not me trying to hold it together during the deaths in the workplace accident bit. Holy fuck, tears.
aiden was absolutely electric this ep good job
As a surveyor in Alaska this is hilarious
Sounds like a sweet gig
I guess it’s a habit of Pay before YT Play button 😮💨🔥
What happens in bozeman stays in bozeman
TACOMA MENTIONED
Nooksack mention. Incredible
Aiden showing up and putting up generational numbers lately but today he outdid himself
love live mention!!!
All time premo fellas
We need cletus on more often
I fricken love when Aiden goes crazy on it for a whole ass episode
I recently played nooksack Washington in football bro
the seat swap is so fun what a treat
The boy blood is working for lud, looks like hes ageing in reverse now.
I’ve been waiting for this since the LS episode yesterday 😂😂
Where’s the main tho?
An ep. so good, you need to listen twice.
+2
Hearing aiden shout out truewerk as I wear truewerk pants while working construction is crazy
you are the thickest neon line 🫡
wahoo!
finally some damn representation on this show.
Never say Aiden doesn't bring his best to the pod ever again after this
the kinda ep that makes you wanna comment how much you enjoyed it
Aiden looks like every man I went to high school with /insult
aiden has fully embraced the midwestern male identity
How dare the Mid-West co-opt all blue collar worker fashion.
Nothing would've prepared me for the full hoodie and vest. Aiden really does save himself for us
