gonna need someone to go back and clarify to Slime that Miss Rachel is a gem to humanity so he doesn't stay thinking she's brain rot..... don't need a David Guetta situation here

2025-10-14 01:39:17 +0000 UTC"does China have anime? like how are you going to connect to the material?" is a top 10 slime quote
Ethan Provençal
2025-10-14 00:42:03 +0000 UTCI think going to china might be a bit rough cause of the different dialects if he does plan to do tip to tip in china. Like even knowing Chinese understanding certain dialects is really rough (sometimes impossible) but maybe the hand gestures will carry the trip.

2025-09-24 06:19:00 +0000 UTCI didn't finish the episode yet but the show Ludwig is referring to is The Colony (2009)

2025-09-21 02:23:25 +0000 UTCThey would all die from messing around with electronics
Michael Then
2025-09-20 17:38:12 +0000 UTCThey slowly embrace technology it depends on the group. Some do some don’t. I’ve seen phones too.

2025-09-16 18:46:54 +0000 UTCThe Amish love volleyball. Always see volleyball nets in their yards when I’m driving
Phoxal
2025-09-16 18:45:46 +0000 UTCI grew up conservative Mennonite… and live among Amish. Ludwig finding out Slime is right about both the homophobia and racism is gonna be tough
Avery Amstutz
2025-09-16 18:20:33 +0000 UTCI work in HVAC in Lancaster PA and one of my friends in my company was working at an Amish place and the kid had a Nintendo switch and was showing all the games.
Avery Amstutz
2025-09-16 18:19:14 +0000 UTCThe Amish are deeply politically conservative especially here in Lancaster. I moved to Lancaster from SC. My barber flew confederate flags and talked openly about how he saw interracial marriages as wrong… that being said he was less racist than the Amish I work with now. I’ve never heard the N word used with such little reservation as I do when it comes with a Pennsylvania Dutch accent. Not all Amish are racist, but when you live in white onclaves and your only narratives come from Ben Shapiro, Fox News and worse, it’s easy to see how deeply regressive views continue in the Amish community
Avery Amstutz
2025-09-16 18:04:17 +0000 UTCHey Lud, I've been studying Chinese for a while and have a method you might like. I strongly recommend the Immersive Chinese app. It's perfect for beginners and probably my favorite language learning app ever. Another mandatory app is Pleco. Add every word you learn to your Pleco flashcards (very easy) and study them when you can. You can just use Immersive Chinese and Du Chinese (app) to learn new words and Pleco to review them; and that'll get you pretty far. I found learning Chinese like this actually very easy and very fun, and just way way better than anything else. Please make sure Lud sees this!

2025-09-16 17:37:55 +0000 UTCgreat ep very funny everyone was on form
Thomas
2025-09-16 16:40:35 +0000 UTCI am sick seeing lud set his sights on China. I am for China what lud is for Japan - which have resulted in degrees in ethics, global studies, cultural anthropology, and digital storytelling - lud is about to live my fucking dream live in front of my eyes. Pls, god, involve me in this project somehow. I have kept up with the pod, main ep and premo since day literally one. This is my one wish. You are about to do my dream pls god involve this random broke as patron 😛

Denis
2025-09-16 13:25:28 +0000 UTCMy friend you are talking about the same exact guy who literally just said he could turn his human shit sterile. He also only said he doesn't flush at taco bell lol. take it with a grain of salt

CarSicc
2025-09-13 22:25:09 +0000 UTCAs a chinese yardigan (day one) I was incredibly afraid of where the episode was going. Ludwig speaking chinese would sound so unnatural. I'm not sure if the Japanese listeners have ever felt like this.

Alessandro Belotti
2025-09-13 19:01:30 +0000 UTCThere was actually a discovery series called "The Colony" which was exactly what he described, circa 2009. It was a really weird half reality show half fake scripted series. But knowing Ludwig it was probably the anime yes.
Scott
2025-09-13 18:11:02 +0000 UTCwatching them talk about what the most advanced technological thing they could make has me screaming for them to watch dr stone
kenna
2025-09-13 14:30:12 +0000 UTCIf slime was being real with what he said about not flushing his shit in a public bathroom I legit think he is my least favorite on the pod now that's just disgusting for the sake of being disgusting. I acknowledge that he may be joking but if it was like sarcasm or whatever I couldn't hear it.
Johl
2025-09-13 13:30:10 +0000 UTCThe Yard junkjard battles would go hard and also they would create nothing at all
Ruben Van Der Aa
2025-09-13 08:17:25 +0000 UTCif bodies can't carry plagues why does nick think we bury the dead? where does he think the plague goes if someone dies from a plague? it just leaves the server? probably the most hes shown his film degree since the doctor thing
Woodus
2025-09-13 02:55:19 +0000 UTCI like how quickly the hypothetical goes from “post-apocalyptic” to “scrapheap challenge”
Alex
2025-09-13 02:06:48 +0000 UTCThe only way to test if slime can make his poop sterile is for Ludwig to start munching some logs down and see if he gets a tummy ache

Gryffin Roberts
2025-09-12 18:12:52 +0000 UTCI feel like Slime was seconds away from making an Ethan Klein joke at 13:26 and that’s what he meant by “I got so close”. Or maybe I’m just brain broken.

Jason Gascoyne
2025-09-12 17:37:14 +0000 UTCludwig is a damn liar. that is not a discovery show he was talking about. hes talking about Dr Stone. an anime. he even paused when saying discovery show because he knew yall would laugh at him.

Umbra Night
2025-09-12 13:51:03 +0000 UTCAs a Chinese person, your average Chinese citizen is like 10x more quirky and insane than your average Japanese person. It’s a nation for a higher tier echelon of quirked up white boy

Ahmad Aslam
2025-09-12 13:40:18 +0000 UTCThey clearly do not live close to any Amish communities. Slime is shocking close but throw in a lot of animal abuse
Nate
2025-09-12 12:49:42 +0000 UTCif a white guy calls it "hip hop" there is a 90% chance they start their freestyle by talking about how they didnt smoke weed or get pussy in high school

Joe Graham
2025-09-12 08:52:44 +0000 UTCRegistered Nurse here. As wonderful as piss is, it unfortunately is not sterile. Urine almost always has bacteria in it; either in low enough counts to not cause an infection, or opportunistic pathogens. Opportunistic pathogens being bacteria that are fine in one part of the body but problematic in another. The classic examples being staph infections fighters get or E. Coli. Staph is found all over the majority of people's skin, but can be a nasty infection when in a wound, E. Coli is found in everybody's poop, but is vomiting bug if you eat the forbidden chocolate! Thanks for reading this far Aiden!

2025-09-12 03:32:12 +0000 UTCthe girl I've been on 5 dates with just texted me a picture of her and her friends out on the town, and said "Girls Night!" I replied "I'm going to get a commemorative t-shirt of this night" and she said "haha that would be so funny" I had already ordered the yard girls night shirt. In 2 years discussing our failing marriage will be the most harrowing experience Aiden and Slime have on the advice show ever.
Graham Supple
2025-09-12 03:20:00 +0000 UTCYall could unironically come to Montreal with Kelby, its such a underrated cool city. The vibes are peak in the summer but its still good right now. Yall could even link up with Nile red in his domain this time

Jaden Henry
2025-09-12 02:09:59 +0000 UTCGenerally the majority of them aren’t allowed things faster than a horse. The worst parts about them is that they are tax exempt from Medicare and social security, and can be politically powerful
Erik Wengenroth
2025-09-12 00:31:26 +0000 UTCI have family in Lancaster county and know a bit about the Amish. Like anything else, there are old order folks who still do absolutely no electricity, they heat their homes with horse manure under their houses through the winter. And then there are those that can have cars. They can use electricity when it comes to their businesses. The Mennonites are Amish adjacent and follow similar rules.

yacob
2025-09-11 23:49:05 +0000 UTCnot to be a coffee snob, but an americano with milk is no longer an americano. But it is also not a latte so my comment is also pointless bc that’s what was agreed. Still mind blowing that people order americanos with milk

2025-09-11 23:42:56 +0000 UTCSlime you better be fucking joking I am an actual real life custodian if you are shitting in public restrooms and not flushing I WILL find you Also pee is not sterile but I’ll let that slide bc I thought that too for a bit

2025-09-11 23:03:52 +0000 UTCThis is a fucking BANGER episode, I had a permanent grin on my face the entire time. Also would love 'The Yard Goes to Amish Country' with a reverse rumspringa vibe

John RIng
2025-09-11 21:55:46 +0000 UTCI saw a video of an Amish man operating heavy machinery on his farm. The catch was that he had attached ropes to the controls and he walked beside the machine and controlled it with the ropes like a puppet master.
