It's definitely helpful that there's one person on the podcast that doesn't know what the guest does. I sometimes don't know the guest so Slime asking the basic questions is helpful! It's only a problem if everybody on the podcast doesn't know shit 💀 then that's disrespect

Nick's right (and effortlessly cool), most of us (Mexicans) speak English so there's no real need of "EL PATIO (DOBLADO AL ESPAÑOL)" HOWEVER, I think it's great you put subtitles on your shorts, that way I can send them to my friends that maybe have trouble understanding 4 people talking at the same time in another language.

[@maticampa2336]

yeah but seeing how the mrbeast one worked you can see that there is a public for it

[@maticampa2336]

it might also be because mrbeast has a younger audience than them so that might be why mrbeast's works and EL PATIO wouldn't porque mierda lo escribi en ingles si sos mexicano

[@notarnar8336]

"he's like a fart sommelier" absolutely broke me, great episode

[@tvilkerino]

I like that Anthony doesn't know of the guests content. It makes it so he can ask the questions that we as viewers who've never watched their stuff would ask It's not disrespectful

[@AReallyTinyPony]

drake is using the line "Back to back like I'm Jordan '96, '97, whoa" to say hes not fucking done, the 98 champ is widely known as the last dance, and drakes still dropping so hes not at the last dance yet, hes gonna keep dropping, and his final shit is gonna be monumental. or it will be him getting absolutely bodied by the features like he did on his last 3 albums, essentially turning him into a slightly cooler dj khaled.

[@CarterMuller]

Finally it's here YES

[@diiod]

i really like how slime often doesn’t know anything about the guests, because i almost never do either so it gives me an intro to them

[@aaaababab]

Aiden was so effortlessly cool this episode.

[@elizabethr.9359]

As someone who hasn’t known anything about most of the guests it’s kinda nice having slime there during those episodes (also in all episodes cause he’s funny af and the podcast wouldn’t be the same without him) :)

[@peteartieda58]

31:48 the sibling dynamics they show at this part is so funny. 2nd eldest (Ludwig) starts teasing middle child (Nick), eldest (Slime) joins in. Middle child calls out youngest (Aiden) who's snickering at him to divert attention. Middle child successfully does so in the end they all dunk on the youngest.

[@NamuIsIdle]

lmaooo, the thumbnail literally jumpscared me

[@EricAustinYun]

"You look like Ludwig's innocent inner child." I swear slime needs to do stand up. Dude is hilarious

[@deezipp]

I feel like Slime has a more person/chemistry-centric role here that balances the discussion when a guest is on. People can have a picture of who a content creator is based on their content. Being able to go into the conversation without that picture seems really useful and has made Slime’s interactions with the guests really helpful in painting a more human picture that could be missed otherwise. No one should be mad at anything about that in my opinion, and if they are, I imagine it’s because the human picture can shatter someone’s idea of who this content creator is. People don’t like to be wrong, and learning something human about a person on a screen shows them that their initial perception was wrong. In short, it’s important to have the guy that doesn’t have context, and don’t get mad about something that bares no weight in your personal life

[@PinballWigger]

ok

[@elijahmoore9414]

I love that you took the time to write this out. Lots of the internet is full of negative criticism. Thanks for helping out the balance.

[@anyikii6966]

I agree it is refreshing to hear someone who doesn't know the content creator. It feels like they can banter more, and it helps the viewers who don't know the guest as well. I find it honestly really enjoyable.

[@HeyLeFay]

Agreed, also, Slime not knowing that guest can make him an audience surrogate for viewers. He'll oftentimes ask questions or ask for context on things that viewers who also don't know a guest might be wondering, whereas if someone like him wasn't around that might get glossed over in the convo.

[@dashaberezhanskiy7764]

I just wanna say that I think aiden looks really great in that pj set. It's a solid fit. I think it's the best he's looked since he chose to dye his hair which was a bad decision but this outfit manages to really work with the hair. Slayden.

[@fundumbo3296]

I genuinely don’t think I have a favorite on the yard, everyone brings something unique to the pod and the dynamic just works really well Aiden - he just brings the good vibes and is like the live laugh track, he makes it so nothing is ever awkward and it’s basically impossible to not like him Slime - pushes the boundaries with his humor, no jokes are ever boring and I like the fact that his not afraid to call shit out, also I really like that he doesn’t know the guests since it seems like guests usually are very open and proud to talk about what they do and it’s probably refreshing to talk to someone who doesn’t know them Ludwig - he’s the reason why 99.9% know of the yard and why we watch, he’s overall just a likable guy and drives the pod to have content in a way that is digestible Nick - has some of the best banter/very quick with his jokes, is great at storytelling and he usually pushes forward the new topics to talk about

[@fundumbo3296]

In the end, each of the them are very crucial to how The Yard works, it would definitely not be the same if one of them weren’t there, it’s why this is my favorite podcast :)

About the breaking bad moment, I have a similar experience with people who are absolute jackasses that turn into very nice people when they are in their domain. The one I remember the most was when we went to the swimming pool with our class and the most annoying shithead suddenly became super cool as, unbeknownst to us, he was an excellent swimmer part of a water-polo team. I guess acting like a jackass is done to hide a lack of confidence and once you put such people in an environment where they are confident, they drop the jackass act and show their true self.

[@christopherthompson5400]

I know there’s a debate as to wether or not people should talk about this, and I respect both sides of the argument, but I think it is important to talk about. In fact, it is the job of men to call out sexist/mysoginistc/racist men, because as the ones with social privilege, their solidarity means the most. Normalize men thinking and talking about how Andrew Tate is not okay! Silence is a form of complacency

i think the whole "not giving him a platform" argument is kinda weird. I mean i get it and i know people who say that have their heart in the right place, it just seems pointless when he already has such a huge platform already. Other youtubers/influencers deciding whether or not to talk about him on a podcast is not going to make or break his career or popularity. Might as well open it up and have a discussion imo

I’m gonna guess you hadn’t listened to it based on when this was uploaded and when you commented, but we talk about this right in the episode - I ask the question of whether or not bringing him up at all (even if it’s in a clearly negative fashion) is a problem, and the general consensus is no. IDK what QT content you’re talking about but this was also likely recorded before she made / said that, if it was recent. Not that I necessarily think my opinion on giving someone negative attention in this fashion would necessarily change.

As per Slime not knowing guests - I think we've been spoiled on KZbin by Chris Evans and Hot Ones because they do such incredible research. But what Aiden says is correct; Slime fits an angle of the laymen/everyman. There are times he shouldn't maybe approach every guest with a total vacancy; learning their names and stuff is probably the bare minimum for an interview. But your guests aren't there for a formal interview of any kind - it's a sit down and fuck around conversation.
