I think the main problem with the yard having guests is that the core group has so much natural chemistry between them that the guest sometimes feels alienated or something more of a listener than a guest on the pod. The fact that makes this podcast one of the best out there is also what makes is somewhat weird when they host guests, in my opinion.

[@jar594]

I was quite skeptical of this episode because I see it as the same way as you. But I thunk Asa did a really good job and kinda fit in even though he didn't talk as much as in like a interview. I was down with almost everything. I'm surprised how well it went.

I'm sure that the guest, in that case a well known actor, loves the idea to be in a conversation where he is not always the center of attention. And yes at first you need to feel the group, but here Asa got it quickly and from what I watched, I'm sure he liked it.

Going from seeing him in shows and movies when I was a kid to now seeing him here on the yard randomly is so strange but really cool

[@AlM22]

18:46 My dad is from the US and we moved to England when he was 31. We've lived here for almost 22 years now and he hasn't picked up the accent so yeah that can be the case (my mum is already English so ofc nothing changed for her). He still has an American accent but just not quite as strong, like it sounds very American to everyone here in England but when we visit his family back in the US, it sounds more watered down compared to theirs and the other citizens'.

43:00 as a producer, it's the same thing for me with music. I'll hear a song, be like "THAT'S SICK I WANNA DO THAT!", open up ableton, and rage quit 10 mins later cause I can't do it. It's a toxic work flow but it's a super hard one to get out of.

Aiden’s question @34:30 is actually an extremely good question to ask.

Per Nicks question at 18:40, I've heard that it's usually around 12 years old. Obviously it differs person to person but that's usually around the age where people start to develop their own accent.

Ludwig looks like an extra from the movie "grease"

[@MajdSindi96]

just a tip for filming indoors in EU. their electricity runs at 60 Hz as opposed to the USA's 50 Hz... So change the frame rate on your camera to not match the frequency of electricity so that lights don't look like they're flickering all the time :)

[@ryanharris6850]

the uk has its own powergrid removed from the EU so ours is 50Hz as well

[@shaneclark8903]

You got it backwards. Europe uses 50 Hz, which is why their TV is 25 fps. It’s North America that uses 60 Hz.

[@Jaker788]

Frame rate is not the issue, it's a function of mostly shutter speed. Sometimes your shutter speed and the frequency of some lights electrical supply can line up in a way to flicker, but it's not common and won't always happen even on the same shutter speed.

I actually thought this had to be clickbait. I enjoyed sex education too, but I wouldn't expect any of the yard to have even heard of it. Not sure it's aimed at adult men, but then again that's me and I watched it so who knows. I am at least British so I got that part down. Edit: damn dude I had no idea it was him in Ender's game. That was my favourite movie for years, or at least what I labelled as my favourite movie because I don't watch all that many movies. I just looked him up again and he was in the nanny mcphee sequel, Hugo, and the boy in the striped pyjamas. Asa is way bigger than I even thought, and I've even watched a bunch of his movies but still just never put them all together as the same guy.
