$10k for a night drinking is insane. Literally $10k could let me not be homeless for 2+ years. Heck, I could take a probably take an entire year off of work as a vacation. It's so much money. I know realistically $10k isn't that much... but it's so much money to any poor person. Life changing potentially. Not giving Ludwig any hate though. He got his ankles broken.

[@annav2780]

I completely understand why Nick wouldn't want to give that person attention, but I do wish there was a way to let the rest of us know what happened because I'm so intrigued as to how bad it must have been to make a chill dude like Nick react this way.

[@colleendoonan1146]

Was talking with a medical friend and mentioned Aidan's story with the Valorant player. They mentioned men can also get PPD, and that those months are super tough on fathers as well emotionally/hormonally. So it's really nice Aidan took some time to connect with a guy who clearly needed it :)

Aiden isn't necessarily as good at telling stories as some of the other guys, but he always has the best stories because they are just crazy in the best ways

[@MasterCalvin45]

how do you think i could tell my stories better? on my end its usually one of the things i think i do better on this show, probably my only identifiable strength in the first ~40 episodes always looking to be better though

[@Gamersb3stfri3nd]

@MasterCalvin45 Hope that didn't come across as an insult. I don't think your stories are bad. I think like Ludwig has a way of taking something even mundane, and flowing the story where you are never waiting for the next part. I think a combination of extra detail, and being interrupted more (because you definitely get interrupted more) that makes the stories not flow as smooth. But like I said in the original comment, your stories are always fantastic. They just have deeper elements and feel more significant.

[@bruhndn3370]

to me this has been the best pod ep yet, loved the stories and loved the past guest ep w/ Zack

[@surfingthedarkness]

Mike Shinoda in Linkin Park only did: all of the rapping (most songs had it), some singing, lots of the songwriting, most lyrics (wrote them, brought them to Chester, changed them with him), Keyboard (He learned that), some Guitar (self taught) and lots of production. He was is called "the in-house Producer" by Rick Rubin and he was the glue, somewhat even "the mastermind" of Linkin Park. I think Nik actually (racistly so 😆) meant Jo Hahn, "the DJ" where the question "what does he even do" makes a taaad more sense because he wasn't as active on stage as Mike was bc there wasn't samples allll the time. But what Jo did besides the sampling (which imo was quite essential to LP but ok) is: he directed almost all the - at the time amaaazing - Music Videos!!! (Jo and Mike met at art school and are great graphic artists!)

[@desmondhume]

artists still use vevo, it's just not in their channel names anymore and the text on the thumbnails is a little more plain. i think a few big music labels just own vevo and that's why they all use it
