going through the backlog and I can't believe I missed the release of the Zeke episode. that's my fucking GOAT
Aiden doing that mid dinner is crazy
Dubstep finally mentioned
'i'm a summer ant and i'm just following the sweetness' is permanently a part of my lexicon
I have no where to put this so here it is. I had a dream about the yard and Slime was bantering about Clav. Now.. I dont know what Clav looks like, never cared to, so in my dream he just looks like Joe Bart
Fucking listening to them talk about balding as your balding hurts
About the this bit is the funniest thing ever convo, for me when i think of praise for the show it is actually like that, its that the bit was so funny not necessarily the whole thing in all the episodes. However, when i show someone the clip then they dont usually find it very funny, and i think its because they havent watched the last 100 episodes of the yard as i have and they dont have the context for the bit. E.g. all of the nickball / medallion / pyramid games were some of the funniest episodes for me but to someone whos never seen the show they probably arent. Same for the Nick Yingling / Kelby jokes, because The Kelby has been this mysterious, faceless, made up figure for the past 3 months is what makes the bit funny to me and that cannot be done outside of something like a sitcom, and it needs the previous many episodes to accumulate. Trying to say that making the funniest bit is like finding gold and you can be the goat for it, while the podcast style maybe makes it lesser in someones eyes because of the volume of speaking and because its not carefully crafted as say a comedy tv show, but it allows for things like this. Its also very parasocial and creeps me out when i try to tell my gf about this funny bit i heard this week and i catch myself talking about you guys like i know you which is insane, but if it was a bit from friends i wouldnt feel that way idk man.
my brothers, the Denny's tumblr/twitter person is in your vicinity lol she's an LA comedian named Sarah Schauer. She used to live with Brittany Broski so I'm sure you could get in touch with her. Could be fun to talk to her about those things!!
as a fellow coloradan hes right
Nick, will you please finish the song for us
What a cool guy
Zeke is awesome, much better than that atrioc guy and even that Dave Dave guy
To contextualize what a fan means when they say this show is “the funniest thing they’ve ever seen”, you guys are essentially an internet era always sunny. The cumulation of every bit made just talking (in the bar for always sunny and in the yard for you) and the extended bits following outside the norm, whether it be the beat off, the rockathon, the Doug Doug challenge, or D&D, have all coalesced into “The Yard” which makes you guys more similar to a show than a podcast in a lot of ways. It’s why I always watch the video instead of listening to the audio only because there’s a missing element that just isn’t there with most other podcasts. Love your work boys.
Lud went so crazy my lord
I thought zeke was Australian this whole fucking time ahahahahahah
didn’t think i’d hear conversation about the bass capital today. shoutout lost lands
With Peace and Love Nick accolade doesn’t have an L after the A 💔
fuck you slime there's NO widow's peak i will have hair forever
the harmonizing while singing gay porn was beautiful
lol I only know of Zeke from the original wine about it x yard episode where QT made the couples quizzes and he was zipper 4
What else would you expect from tha joker? Clownin
Genuinely significantly better ep than the main.
These guys got great chemistry... they should have a podcast
Chicken jockey was maybe the funniest thing I’ve ever heard slime say
wow he really looks like hobo johnson
Lud's vibrato is crazy that boy can sing
w goons
Long live the gold nova globetrotters
Any time there’s a Dawson, Miles, or (Finally) Zeke guest ep, it just shoots me back to religiously listening to bad melee and a time where I was much less stressed. Good goons.
I think my favourite bit ever from this podcast is slime going to prehistoric EDC
please set time aside to make the mixtape
if this is a Zeke soft-launch i’m deeply about it.
Listening to this from downtown Sacramento, feeling disappointed about that
I can see why they like Zeke, I immediately like Zeke lol
I get feeling the injustice when getting credit for being the funny guy even tho you yoinked the bit / other people did it funnier, but sometimes you just are that guy. And you have to hold that. Plus Nick's mom thinks you're funny and there's nothing he can do about it
This episode is another great piece of evidence for the "guys need podcasts to have real conversations"-accusation and a big win for us listeners.
I actually think they probably do really well with these convos IRL. I love when they get cerebral so I can take bits and pieces to try and connect with my emotionally stunted friends
I would've sworn the Flux Pavilion song you were thinking of was either Bass Cannon, or that fucking remix of Cracks
what a great ep zeke is a cool dude
Shoutout Thornton Colorado!
Mike Okay is coming to the US, y’all gotta scoop him up for the pod 🙏
Singing top tier this episode
Thornton shoutout is fucking wild lol im at work and bro just shouted out my hometown
wilfred is a phenomenal show
I really appreciate the conversation around devaluing your creative work to yourself because there's a greater thing you want to make. I feel like that's a deep feeling everyone who's worked in a creative field or just pursued creative hobbies before has felt
I'd tune in to a slime FL stu stream
slimes face the second he clocks nick with the staff
Zeke was chill af
Turned the silly boys all introspective which is a fun twist. I demand more Zeke now thank you!
i know about pepper X because my mother bought the most evil vile creation ever, pepper X max and cheese. which i do not believe is actually it and im sure it wasn’t as hot but jesus fucking christ a single bite and i tapped out
god lud ate that shit up
Haven’t thought about we do it for fun probably since it came out and yet I somehow know every word still😂
they don't understand, League is cocaine, aram is crack cocaine, so then somehow those fucks at riot made a pink cocaine with ketamine and caffeine and a fun color with Mayhem, it's just some of the most fun you'll have on the streets, don't mean it's good for you tho.
What are talking about cinema is by Benny benassi
Finally Zipper 4 is on the podcast
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people that come up to you, especially if they're younger. Just haven't watched as many movies and watches a lot of podcasts and if that's the case it should be a compliment because podcasting isn't exactly easy and saying that you have the best one out of the thousands of hours they may have consumed should be a good barometer art. It will probably take a bit longer to get there but it will
yes im uncultured but what was ludwig covering
stop liking me and answer bro 😭😭
Zeke was fun!
Do they have a single ugly friend?
Yeah it’s Josh. He is charming tho
I as a Canadian from the coove making it stink everywhere I go who’s been living in England with family every so often for work had the grandslamwhich at a Denny’s recently and it gave me nicks digestive tract
unfortunately apart of the people who understood the segment about denver being the bass capital and illenium LOL
I think slime was there for the first dap like teddy rosevelt at the Panama Canal when it opened I do not hold his opinion on timing as valid
The patriots might be a little lazy today
network canceled the main ep
Wait til he finds out about Arena
shoutout thornton
Spice Jesus explained everything nick asked right to him on the episode. Straight up gaming too hard mom, didn’t listen
Zeke was a sweet treat this episode that I hope we can taste again someday
Colorado mentioned Pog
Colorado is mentioned often icl there’s no reason to pog man
Ludwigs’s singing was so well done, some guys really do have it all
The joker being brought up is amazing. I remember being at football camp in high school just fucking around and rapping those lyrics. Insane pull
As a Colorado Springs native, we have maybe the greatest collection of DJ Hitlers
I had to relisten to lud's song like 5 times that shit was beautiful
Hiiii Zeke :)
The wait to see this fry main ep is killing me
audio only bad melee fans are happy today
I can’t believe they psyopped (had an earnest conversation) slime out of holding the staff for the rest of the episode
This podcast has changed me immensely
I think about "molly burning" all the time lmao it has entered my lexicon
I first thought Ludwig was saying gape and got really confused
premo out before the main ep what has the world gone to
It’s been happening more likely than you think
Thanks for having me
you're awesome on camera, so glad you were on <3
“Alkkalade” - Nick
dude i wish these work always after the normal ep i got spoiled
Nah, I like the insider knowledge
wahoo!
Gurt
