Our Naughtiest Moments of 2024 (ft. Santa) | The Yard

[@fishpanto]

"what're you doing on christmas" "I work usually" is peak writing

[@squillz8310]

he's really just like me tho

[@fishpanto]

@@squillz8310 you and me both bro that was a tough shift

[@SHMOUSEY86]

Thanks I wrote that for them

[@twocuptyler]

alex on the main pod it’s a christmas miracle

[@GLXYShift]

Wait, Alex is on this episode? I thought it was just Santa.

[@ComradeFer]

I’m pretty sure that’s Santa, bud 🤨

[@BentleyBombers]

Bro is smoking high grade if he thinks it was anyone but Santa

[@Tea_SR]

​​@@BentleyBombersawesome reference to my favorite twitch streamer alexsmokesmid

[@Minibotplayz]

Santa*

[@The64Comet]

Everybody missing the grandma got ran over by a reindeer joke when he was talking about the hit & run is criminal.

[@gabrielkilwein4164]

43:27

[@ixnates]

sometimes you gotta let a joke sit in the air man, not everything needs a reddit 2,000 upvote public promposal reaction

[@jamesmccomb9525]

​@@ixnates You don't even know what you're saying.

[@ixnates]

@@jamesmccomb9525 pretty sure i do

[@Dingooose]

Ion get it

[@jasonjavelin]

God DAMN Alex is funny as hell. Him and Nick gaming and their comms are so goated. The PGA streams was unmatched

[@Maze86753]

Idk who that is but that Santa is great

[@loomic]

"He liked trains, little too much" unbelievable reference there lud

[@PixelSalad99]

What’s the reference?

[@Euro2005mc]

@@PixelSalad99 A certain German individual used trains to transport a certain population to camps (not the summer kind).

[@arnar-on-youtube]

"here's santa's take on that, it's all energy dude" is all time

[@wesleyhills5325]

Aiden saying his deepest secret during a naughty or nice section is insane

[@meltingmoody]

Which one lol?

[@betterbaulball]

My dad did the same "write an x on a box and call it an xbox" prank one christmas. But then 20 minutes later I went to get a glass of water and there was an xbox with my name on it in the cupboard

[@Maze86753]

That’s the best ending for that bit imo

[@jamesmccomb9525]

That's the only good way to do it.

[@rayne.9]

Dude you gotta invite Timothèe Chalamet on he's doing a press tour there's a kind of good chance he'll come on

[@kerosine2896]

Begging on my hands and knees for this

[@jeorl25]

VOUCH

[@KnightKingu]

“Cut or uncut”

[@jacobbeaudway2258]

YESYESYESYESYES

[@rainmansteen]

its crazy you think "the yard" could get Timothèe Chalamet without having a connection somehow...i think you vastly overestimate the pull Lud has....That said it would be neat probably

[@aloumun]

Slime picked up his Kit-Kat candy cane at 36:54 and opened it at 42:00. He was also gaslit into thinking it opens at bottom which is just 100% wrong.

[@PneumaAsh]

I was hoping somebody already commented about this, I cannot believe Nick got away with that

“Hard is naughty, soft is just fun.” - Santa 2024

[@kerosine2896]

30 minutes in and my sides hurt from laughing man, alex is a treasure

[@potthethird]

Who is he

​@@potthethird Santa

[@kchilin]

This episode is SOUR

[@kerosine2896]

The way i gasped when aiden said he slept with his friend's ex-girlfriend, bro that's horrendous

[@user-bw8vn6xp5h]

Most of Aidan’s moral code looks good in theory but in practice leads to stuff like this lol

[@gebb]

@@user-bw8vn6xp5hi don’t think so, he, like every normal person has evolve in his morals

[@dbp18]

​@@user-bw8vn6xp5h wtf does this mean. He clearly signified that that was a big moment in his life where he clearly changed and grew from it which seemed to be many years before the pod. What of his moral code leads to "things like this"

[@amperscore]

Vixen was shot down by the iron dome

[@Tobo2066]

That’s right

[@lancelaurel3828]

Fucking semper frag

[@robertaguirre85]

Stepfather Peter is always my Santa

[@TheTitaniumSamurott]

-Alex- Santa is just a generational talent

[@fallbot6353]

Santa blended in with the yard vibes so naturally, you can tell he pays attention to the way they speak

[@_Vazo_]

Business is land because I stand on it.

[@BufeDoof]

Put it on a shirt

[@snottyboy9983]

[@snottyboy9983]

[@porkyorcy1715]

the empty dog collar next to aiden is from the dog he killed last week, surprised it wasnt on the naughty list

[@drewgone]

Was genuinely waiting for Nick to say “Mad City” after “I was a good kid”

[@squillie_fr]

“we’re all just energy” - Santa Claus

[@DrunkenSailer]

"Thats not hard" probably the best exit to a bit of the year

[@yolyrodz33]

I love seasonal episodes yall outdid yourself with the set and even tracking down Santa

[@ravio777]

There's a few comments about santa being a generational talent, but guys lets be real here. Santa is already a multi-generational talent

[@oomar4597]

cant believe santa stole the skin of a mid west white boy with above avr swag. its a christmas miracle

[@brotherbode]

Santa saying “Fuck that” when asked about Hanukkah is so funny for some reason

[@indenthshsh2408]

opened, heard alex, smiled. i LOVE that guy man.

[@jwills1349]

Hearing them all say santa so many times at the beginning made me hyper aware of their american accents and did that thing where the word loses all meaning. Which made me think of foreigners learning english being confused bc dropping letters is so common for us, must be challenging for them. Nick hits a sanTa and it disseminates, wild. Now they're all saying naughdy

[@sympathy_for_strays]

So thoughtful of Christmas to fall on a Weds so we can get our weekly dose of The Yarn right on time.

[@Stepjodan]

low key watched this ep twice bc it was so good - best of the year ???

[@fIamingoranges]

the way alex speaks makes all of his deliveries hilarious

[@Mackes_]

This has easily been the funniest rocket money ad they've ever done 8.9/10

[@negativenihilist]

27:45 - According to Salt & Straw's site, Love Nuts are pecans caramelized in Tahitian vanilla, sprinkled with sea salt, then coated in 14 layers of chocolate. Notes from the kitchen: While Love Nuts are no longer in production at LA-Based Compartés, we pay homage to this partnership by crafting deconstructed Love Nuts: candied pecans coated in chocolate, interspersed with chocolate stracciatella to recreate the layered texture.

[@dogbot55]

Thanks

[@dieg0]

hands down the funniest episode of the pod to date

[@fluorescentfuneralalt]

Santasmokesmid EP is what I put on my letter to the North Pole

[@JanetRobinson-xe1tg]

This was a really funny (and mostly naughty) episode. Keep making me laugh in 2025 you guys! Merry Christmas and Happiest New Year! Love, Janet 🍾🥂 PS Love my new merch!❤

[@cinotaoat]

Having alex on the ep makes me unbelievably happy

[@porkyorcy1715]

this might be one of my fav episodes of the yard ever it's literally bangers all the way through

[@SKULLKR3W]

that was tight and he was of age is the second funniest thing aiden has said

[@semi-automatic07]

first funniest leak?

[@heretible]

​@semi-automatic07 First Funniest is a tie between when he says "I made it clear that the child pagaent was adults only" and "sometimes I mix the change and the seeds, and sometimes there's ants in the seeds.... ants"

[@mollie_b]

@@heretible do you have any idea which ep he said the child pageant line

[@hauntedmasc]

Loving Nick's hair longer, it's such a good look.

[@alvarocampos1060]

He is looking devilish good on that me undies ad

[@Sly_2855]

1:32:14 that does not sound how ludwig wants it to sound

[@SomeoneSomewhere42069]

Heyyyyyy, I said that 😩

[@SomeoneSomewhere42069]

How DARE you steal my comment 2 days before I posted it?!?!?! 😡😡😡

[@jetpackmonkeyterminator8266]

Bro I was just about to place this comment

[@RedDescent]

The set looks ✨magical✨

[@creezy75]

Never played league. Deadass googled “Tom Kench” bc I thought it was a crazy ass real person

[@alex_humphrey_33]

Still feels like Aimen is still with us… fly high homie 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@bridgerparker4275]

Go Pack Go!

[@aether5378]

19:35 Was listening to the audio episode and already knew what picture they used

[@pepedantem1]

Accidentally spending 3 mil is the craziest thing I have ever heard

[@Tobo2066]

“It was a while back” lmaooooooooo

[@HandMadeHippo]

Wasn’t Rob the guy who used to bust on the mirror? He’s so cool man

[@nommads]

santa, to aiden: “i ain’t hear no bell”

[@ChosenRosen18]

Awesome sour episode

[@ahhbwee]

when i have kids this is the santa lore they’re getting

[@ian562ADF52E]

Wanted Alex on the pod ever since they golfed with that Scott and the Joker

[@OneStarVFX]

he’s been on a premium ep before

[@ian562ADF52E]

@@OneStarVFX damn u remember which one?

[@ElijahCem]

This is Santa. Don't know this "Alex" you're referencing

[@VitoVall88]

Finally some representation of Rhode Island on the Yard

[@kapi6130]

What's with all the grinch hate- he never truly hated Christmas, he just hated the ppl who constantly bullied him and ostracised im fro the town 😢. Truly the most misunderstood character in all of fiction

[@WingOficial]

I really thought they were going to announce D&D for Christmas. Miracles aren't real.

[@locoapple]

playing wow while watching this, im an addict too

[@zoinkszombies]

20:10 also showed hank green pregnant sonic kissing mario lol

[@413xmb]

Seeing him come down with “midsmoker34” pinned to him made me cackle

[@HuckSc2017]

Me forgetting Alex was Santa and thinking: "Man, kinda effed up they make him work every Christmas."

[@Kevinofrepublic]

Ludwig saying Baron and Alex thinking he's referring to Baron Nashor good shit.

[@aprilb7751]

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL YARDIGANS!!!!

[@sticky_bunns]

I'm not gonna lie, Nick accidentally sitting on that shampoo bottle is really funny. He might've moved up in my ranking

[@Osky1111]

I've been WAITING for this Ep. MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!!❤

[@brettb7693]

Santa on the yard? Best birthday gift ever

[@astradyti]

santa be jolly but when those elves get too rowdy he gotta let out them sandy claws

[@yvil2433]

Nick sitting on a shampoo bottle was funny as hell

[@FletcherDeRouen]

of course Aiden would be pro Healthcare CEO, CIAIMEN STRIKES AGAIN

[@kallem6163]

36:30 I bet they made out in Santa's Mustang to Radiohead.

[@HoodlumCallum]

Oomf on the podcast 🤩

[@ogmango2457]

didn’t know u were a yard fan callum

[@Amish_Radio]

Another blessed crumb of content, thank you boys

[@BottledADHD]

santa makes a good point, renting out the pyramids kinda weird

[@strangenoise7651]

Best guest. Reinvigorated my Christmas spirit.

[@Weebfox]

The entire pod I was waiting for them to ask Santa whether he's cut or uncut

[@jordanpalma5975]

at the 99 yard line is good stuff

[@MrSpaceWorm]

Love the booster cables on the fire place

[@ShaeKababy]

I haven’t watched yet but omg the set looks so good!!! That wide shot is Christmas perfection

[@229chedder1]

I really hope Santa brought some sour treats for the boys

[@davidkociak5242]

And we’re spreading Christmas cheer

[@flushedface]

studio looks great this episode

[@QUINCEYYY9]

Urm Riot used to have a snow map for Xmas but in s9 or 10 ? Whenever they added the new dragons that change the map layout, they said it'd be to hard to bring back the old snowy map. We used to have Christmas music in the client/on the rift too, good times.. ☝🤓

[@apoalien69]

Happy Holidays y’all 💜 Great episode Made work a breeze as per usual 😌

[@adamdoestheatre6539]

Id like to imagine that Santa uses Discord to see what we’re doing

[@ZaneSchwaller]

The set is beautiful

[@DanglingwithDietrik]

As a representative of elves, at 5'9" (with shoes on), I would like to also voice my concern about addressing us as "those people." I'll have you know that we have souls and feelings, what do you think we are, gingers?!

[@FelixEA]

57:25 This story ending the way it did after Santa's response was so unexpected

[@CADILLACSPILLS]

Alex telling the story about the fire had me crying laughing

[@vagrint]

Hilarious episode, Santa was a great guest!

[@loganveeder867]

Man I’m so happy we got Alex on the pod. He’s my favorite streamer I do not watch ever

[@evanacia3799]

For anyone wondering about the Queen latifah movie it's last Holiday. LL Cool j is also in it. Amazing picks for Christmas!

[@tylerday]

I thought this was the 2024 best of moments for a second and was so hyped lol

[@thomps9438]

Santa about to gift us a generational episode

[@jonesOtr]

I do love how for 4 years we've had the "nick set X thing on fire and we can talk about it" with out ever getting more details

[@Kyle_Johnsons]

santa is probably the coolest guest on the yarn thus far

[@Ashar121]

Santa being a crystal mommy is not what I had on my bingo card

[@austonhavok9011]

Alex saying he ran deadmines and called it exhilarating might be the cutest shit I’ve ever heard

[@vital1114]

what a legitimately interesting guy lmao

[@JaidenFeliciano]

The frequency with which they repeat stories on this pod is insane

[@Bazy678]

Nick in the ad looks what like the Willy mammoth from ice age be

[@spana-e3r]

nick outdid himself, this set is amazing
