Love Ludwig talking about his goal-oriented mindset being challenged a bit by the sports psychologist. I always admired that goal setting of his so its neat to see him still growing it and reflecting on it

Oh no he’s even making his fans less human 😱

Tarik really is one of kind. Its so clear how he just has a love for the game. It's almost as if that bigger number better person vibe means nothing to him (i.e. ranking, etc.) he just loves to play the game

Wow can't believe they had the world champion that won the major on episode one hundred and thirty one of The Yard podcast 👍

Tarik's little send off at the end was so cute.

​@@miskathonicI agree either Ludwig hasn't tried it and has some convoluted reason why he won't OR it's the complete opposite and he just springs it on us that he does it frequently even though he's never mentioned it once.

As someone from Massachusetts who attended the major, it is still one of the best days of my life lol. It meant so much to me to finally see an NA team win on home soil too.

Didn't see it yet but I wonder if it's funnier than the minecraft episode

As an Ironman finisher - I worry that Ludwig is severely underestimating an Ironman. 2.4 miles of swimming, 112 miles of biking, 26.2 miles of running. I was a Boston Marathon qualifying runner before training for my Ironman, and I still found the training to be really hard. The fitness jump from where you are now to completing an Ironman is massive. If you’re willing to commit to it, it’ll mean hours of training every day for hopefully at least a year(especially if you’re new to swimming and biking long distances). Do your marathon, and evaluate from there! Enjoy each fitness milestone as you hit them, you don’t need to already be thinking about what’s next after it. Best of luck to you!

I havent seen Tariq since 2016 and he's much more well spoken than what i remember. Great guy and ep

What a sweet guy! I’ve never consumed any Tarik content but he seems like the actual antithesis of a professional gamer that I’d imagined lol

It’s crazy that Tarik is a icon for 35 year old CS players that watched him win the major for NA but he’s also a icon for 16 year old valorant players that want to go pro

maaaaan tarik is so cool man. seems like such a good dude. SUPER fucking genuine and like hes such a good friend to have. doesnt seem confrontational in the least bit and super open minded in the sense of just genuinely interested in the things the people hes with talk about instead of the people that just look at u talk but arent hearing anything ur saying. dude seemed like he was really appreciative to have been asked to come on the pod. dude deserves all the success hes obtained. shoutout Tarik

Ludwig getting constantly interrupted or derailed this week is so much funnier than normal. He just wants to hang with Tarik, and he's trying SO hard to reel the conversation back into whatever they were talking about.

Tarik is such a great person

I'm so happy seeing Tarik on this podcast duuude that was a great episode! Tarik just have a great personality and it combines so well with The Bois

Yayyyy Tarik, he’s always vibed as cool and genuine to me, what little I’ve see of him I’ve liked 🥰

27:15 "theres also body dysmorphia-" you guys need to LET SLIME COOK im actually so interested in what he has to say a lot of the time he seems pretty intelligent and actually has some nuanced views now that he's graduated from his HA classes (haters anonymous)

was a tarik fan since he was on optic (and became my savior after boston major) and ludwig fan when he liked melee. this is a wild crossover

I've never watched Tarik before, but this was a great episode! Would love to see him on the pod again

I was in the crowd for the Boston Major and I'm not afraid to admit it was one of the best weekends of my life lol

Tarik is chill with it. If he did more slop content I'd check it out. Good yarbin'

Tarik is such a legend. Great guest and great episode as always🔥

That outro was so money, thank you Tarik

Much like Tarik, this podcast does not miss.

Tarik: They did WHAT at the island??

1:07 Ludwig is a talented actor, you could really hear the Boston in the way he said the f-slur (I’m bisexual btw)

Idk who this guys is but I love the banter he brings

Watching Tarik compete on CLG in CS to this is so wild. He deserves everything man is so funny and hardworking!

I heard y’all talkin about it on stream but I didn’t think it was gonna happen! Let’s gooo

The slime Valo clip is my favorite piece of recent internet media. It's just beautiful

Elliptical under the desk, but it powers your pc so to keep playing you have to keep pedaling

Awesome ep, I love Tarik!

I'm not gonna lie, I've never followed CS or Valorant so I had never heard of Tarik or had any idea who he was until Ludwig started talking about him on The Yard and his own channel. But man he was a great guest, I really enjoyed this episode Also, his incredibly earnest and genuine "how does that feel?" as Aiden talked about losing over and over was so goddamn funny man

as a brazillian I have so much to say: "gira🌪" is a reference to a caster line to a aspas moment in valorant where he spins as jett to dodge the bulelts (pronounced like gira in giratina) vampeta is the guy you guys were talking and the photo is from a pron shoot

Tarik is the coolest gamer ong!

No low taper fade talk is actually crazy for an episode like this

Tarik and Nut movie combo with sharks and waves would go crazy

i think slime's gold question actually isn't entirely stupid when you look at the economics of diamonds

Was literally wondering if they were gonna ask the uncut question and they did right after.

a ring for the boston major would be fire

Was waiting on this one ever since they said he'd be on it. When Slime has the towel, you know shit's about to get real!

The thought of TenZ asking Slime for util is hilarious. There's so much room for creativity 😂

I used to watch this man sit shirtless in his room eating cereal Then I watched him win the greatest match of Counter Strike ever played And now he's a man marketable enough to stick on a KZread thumbnail for clicks And yet he still can't smile properly lol

this was a banger on audio

7:27 Nick was so quick on knowing what's what there.

Love to see slime retuvrn to the wild in the intro

so you didn’t teach him how to smile? how’s he gonna learn..??

ok that balloon animation was craaaazy, all for an ad transition

I don't know why but Tarik when he answer questions talks like a middle school kid but with a adult male voice.

I’m normally an audio listener but I came here to watch the Hank Green episode (I’m one of the 17 overlapping people) and I just now realized that it comes out early on Spotify? Damn

Yuh finally what up Tarik

I started watching Ludwig because of the rp rust server, where he was lilys laywer

I don't know if you guys heard, but this guy actually won the major

I agree with Nick! I work in culinary and I hate gold in food. Most of the time it’s just a gimmick to upcharge meh items. Occasionally I do see the aesthetic or like the smallest gold flake on a chocolate tart or something but even then. A lot of places it feels so unnecessary

i need a man who looks at me the way tarik looks at lud while he's talking

Watched every ep this by far is peak, please more gamers

"Too much of the game. Let's move on from the game" -- Lud, who has literally spent the entire podcast talking about the game.

40:41 I saw this on twitter and it said specifically "who SWITCHED the most" ...and well "switch" has other connotations.

that balloon edit was dopee

Ludwig having an internal conflict about if nudity is pron…then he realize where he came from and said “Viva La 🇫🇷 Zipper show me the coq” 😂

ive been listening to old premos and slime has definitely changed the most, hes so much less toxic and hateful now

HAHA slime checking if tarik feels guilty or anything for yoinking all the tournament viewers and bro's just like 😎nah they watch for me 😎love the confidence, bro is immune to imposter syndrome

Which video is that slime clip from

Alright slime, that 'And will top you' line was hilarious

the slime clip is goated

GOATED EPISODE (the pre video ad is still playing)

Very cool!

Man Tarik is the 🐐

shout out to nick for picking rocket league after melee, a lot of people inside the scene are not happy with the how the esport is running rn but i'm hopeful it can still be a tier 1 esport some day

GREAT CONTENT IDEA: Wii U Mario kart 8, 50cc, under desk elliptical is your only way to power forward, only one Grand Prix, winner keeps the desk elliptical or something idk I can’t do all the work

banger ep, tarik was electric

Love hearing the rocket league love from Nick!!! 😊

1:27:25 there is already a fear& with tarik, although its just hasan and the audio is scuffed lol

"i don't even wanna imagine myself bald" oh my god lol

wZ sports day mention on the pod lets gooo

1:27:27 little does lud know tarik's already been on fear& but it just a 1 on 1 with hasan

Awesome by the way Aiden you look like Billy Gilmour

I love my weekly dose of my second favorite pod

Best episode of the year

As a suggestion for future pods - as Gamers and loving scores, why not have also section or a separate pod with musicians, who do lots of deciphering and intro's for other who're not much involved with gaming and get their perspective ( this is obvi out of scope of this episode) but as for future suggestions i.e artists like @marcomeatball and others, who introduce pro artists to game sounds and tracks and give em either shoutout or quick intro))
