Stanz is funny because he has to respond to everything everyone says. Like he can't just ignore a one-off comment.

[@flightlexx6985]

hes mother for that

[@kactus1889]

cute

@@Triplicata Yeah he got quite big in the past couple of weeks on tiktok, plus a bunch of underground rappers and lil yatchy were giving him shoutouts. It's not super weird that Nick knows of him but he's still a very niche underground rapper lmao

Aimen wasn’t too off on the mandarin, you can definitely tell he’s practicing. Learning Chinese as a beginner is really tough

He's been "practicing" for a good 3 years at this point lol

[@aidanwentz6450]

@@theminecraft4202 learning new languages is difficult and when you're talking about a language so different from your native language that you have almost no experience to draw upon it's even harder. God forbid someone struggle and grow and learn.

with all due respect, when doesnt he

[@crit7514]

Apparently an empty chair and a bit of mystique pulls better than him... He's great but nothing beats the "streamer gone empty chair stream"

[@mirrormortal]

Stanz basically sitting in silence the entire time, and then talking about how he's proud of his marriage and the absurd weight of life immediately leading into grand capitalist ludwig talking about how that led to all the other shit that's come from it was the dopest moment of this podcast. Makes sense with the sunrise lighting

[@muqmanor]

I had no idea what the reason was that Aiden explained but I had noticed on my own that airplane mode saves you a lot of battery whether you're on a plane or not so that's why I always did it. I just figured I have no service anyway so I might as well save my battery

[@YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO0OOOO]

Stanz was a really good addition to the show, brings a different energy than Nick, cool guy

[@jacobbeaudway2258]

1:23:00 Holy shit man. Slime just referenced William Spaniel in a yard episode!! I might be literally the most relevant target demo of said reference on this planet. A) I’m a massive yard fan (lots of merch, seen every ep multiple times, Patreon since the start, etc.) and B) I have taken 2! political science courses in game theory with Dr. Spaniel at the university of Pittsburgh where he teaches! One in undergrad on game theory in international relations and one graduate course on formal theory notation (basically logic math)!!! I even sent Will (as he makes us call him in class btw!) the game theory video from veritasium Aiden brought up in a drunk email last semester cause I thought he might want to link it for his students!! I may be one of very people on earth to both own game theory 101, a textbook authored by Will spaniel and available on Amazon and multiple pieces of yard merchandise, and this crossover is blowing my mind for some reason!!! Slime is so goated man

[@jacobbeaudway2258]

And just like slime I ended up just a few credits short of my poli sci minor cause of scheduling conflicts my senior year, and additionally, those early game theory vids he uploaded were an integral part of our course work haha

[@jacobbeaudway2258]

One final anecdote I love. When I took my first class with will, he opened the first lecture by telling us his last summer was one of the best in his life for 3 reasons. 1 - He got married, 2 - He got tenured as a prof at Pitt, and 3 - He got his silver play button for 100k subs on KZbin lol. His channel really popped off after Ukraine war started because of the very YT vids slime videos as watching!!!

[@slimewire]

whoa that’s sick yeah he’s awesome i want to be like him when i grow up
