Ep. 263 - The Pyramid Awaits!

In "The Pyramid Awaits," Ludwig hosts a competitive game show to determine which of his friends—Nick, Slime, and Aiden—will join his wedding groomsmen pyramid. The episode opens with banter about punctuality, as Aiden arrives late and is hit with a minus 1,000 point penalty, while Nick and Slime earn points for being on time. The game consists of 15 rounds, each testing different skills: impressions, honesty, trivia, physical touch, and gift-giving. Aiden initially struggles, dropping to negative points due to a spoiler and a lie, but he rebounds with a creative BBC newscaster impression and a heartfelt confession about his gift-giving struggles. Nick and Slime remain neck-and-neck, both reaching 9 points by the final rounds. In the last round, Nick wins with a $14 Mickey Mouse watch, while Slime earns a point for overnight oats. Ludwig then awards Aiden 26 points to bring him over the 10-point threshold, officially asking all three to be his groomsmen. Aiden, after joking about being busy, accepts and chooses the bottom middle position in the pyramid, proclaiming himself Ludwig's "bottom bitch." The episode concludes with the pyramid lineup set—the three contestants on the bottom, Michael and Connor in the middle, and Christian on top—and playful teasing about Aiden's future game show. Throughout, the show blends humor, competition, and heartfelt moments, with sponsor segments for Shopify, GLD, and Hungry Root woven into the banter.

All right. Salam, you're next. This one. Hard act to follow. It is. It's a hard act to follow, and I'm on the spot, and I'm not great on the spot. You might not think that, but it's true. Would it be crazy to say he took mine? Yes. That's part of the game. Yes. Yes. That would be crazy, because you had the option to go first. You could have, you know, you had that. The brave are rewarded. This is Tyler won at the grocery store, and he forgot his savings card. Okay. Where is it? I don't have my card. Do you have a card? Can I use your card? It's like $7. Fine. Dude, it's funny, because you could have put almost any name in the same situation. And it probably would have sounded similar. I like the idea of him. It's quite close to Kelby or Christian or. Yeah. Oh, I didn't even think about Kelby. Yeah. I didn't even think about Kelby. Yeah. It's okay. It happens, Aiden. You're going to end us with the impression round. And you hope he doesn't pick Kelby after hearing it. I don't think he has what it takes. I'll say that loud and proud. I don't know. His Luigi was great. Oh, you can't do that either. This is a. This is a BBC. Newscaster. Thank God. Who's welcoming in. Who's noting that Professor L has just arrived to London, but all of his bodyguards are the same guy. Okay. That's great. Thank you for joining us on the news tonight at 8:00 PM. The lovely, lovely weather in London this evening. It's a warm 38 degrees Celsius. And Professor L. Professor L. Professor L. Has just arrived in the city from Heathrow. He appears to be surrounded by about 20 of the same five, five, eight, five, nine young man. A loose, patchy beard. He's. They've passed, pardoned the crowd in front of the in front of the Doubletree Hotel that they seem to be staying in this evening. And it appears he can not really navigate the shapes. All colors in front of the building. All the same guy. They're all Nick England. Oh, they're all Nick England. All the bodyguards are Nick England. Is it some sort of clone project? It's why they have a patchy beard. I don't know. I don't know. It was so creative to me that they were just the same guy. Yeah. Instantly. I had a great mental picture in my head, which was Takashi 69 sitting on an airplane runway in the circle of his bodyguards. Yeah. Doing nothing. And now I'm worried Aiden thinks Nick England's my bodyguard. That's his job. Wait. That's one of his jobs. Aiden. I will award you 999 points. You are at negative one. Wow. Nick. Welcome back. It's a lot of points. Aiden. Nick, you get two points. Yes. He's ending the show. He's going to end the show. Yes. He's at three? Yeah, he's at three already. That was pretty good. He's at three currently. Fuck. Slime, you'll get zero points for this round. Zero. Well, it's the best I can. It'll generally go two, one, zero. He was just at negative a thousand. It changed my score. Yeah. I get it. I just, I, yeah, I get it. Someone has to get zero. He probably did forget his card and it was like that. You know what I was thinking? I was like, do you think he goes to the grocery store? Yeah. Oh, that's a good question. I think he does. I feel like Mikaela goes. I think she goes. I think he goes with her. I don't. And he's holding the kid. Yeah. I think he stays at home with the kids. I don't have the cards. Yeah. I think he's the stay at home dad. Next round. 15 rounds total gentlemen. We're flying through this. This is now the honesty test. You all need to admit something you have done to me in the past. Maybe you've wronged me. Oh. And need to come clean. Oh. Maybe you took something. Maybe you lied to me at some point. It's the honesty test. I need you to come clean. If you're going to be in my pyramid, I need honesty. If you're going to be in my pyramid. I can activate my confession at any time. You can activate your confession at any time, but it doesn't escape you from doing that. If you skip the round, you don't get the point. Hold on. Can I clarify the confession? Yes. Is the confession just the honesty test, but to your phone or is it just. It's a confessional. It's just a. It's a, it's a love Island confessional. So you can get in there. You can say. You can say anything. You could say the real honesty test and then come out here and say something else. Or you could go in there and say, this show sucks. I don't care. You just have to go in the confessional and say something. If anyone. Maybe took something. I have mine. Nick. A, a fan sent you a very nice acrylic board of the yard logo, which I stole from you because I thought you would value it less than I do. So I took it. Did I ever see it? And I have it. Yeah. It stayed outside of your stream room for two months and that's why, that's how I evaluated. Well, if it's not even a, it was in the closet outside my stream room. Not a closet. Like on the staircase. Yeah. That's what that was. This is my closet. This is even worse than the closet. Cause it's like, there's a room under the staircase and then the closet area, but before you go into your stream, you had to see it for two months. And I said, you know what? If he's not going to hang it up in there, I'm going to take it. And it's in my office. But you never said like, Hey, it doesn't seem like you're using this. I never asked. I just took it. You just took it. Mm. Wow. I'm sorry. Thank you for the honesty. If you want it back, you can have it back. I appreciate the honesty. Anyone else? It's. It's. I've only been good to you. Tough to believe 10:29 boy. Real thinky games of favor. Yeah. I look, the pyramid awaits and it doesn't wait for someone who lies, steals, but can't tell the truth after. Your fiance has come to me to help pick tuxedos, by the way. I know. That's why she was like, you need to ask them to be your grooms informally. And I said, I have the pyramid awaits. Babe, the pyramid awaits. I was proofreading the wedding invitations. Slime. I have, um, I don't know. I'm curious why you haven't spoken up yet. Because I'm trying to think. Really? I don't think I've ever wronged you. Really? Really? Yes. When someone says they haven't wronged you, you have to wonder if they've wronged you so large they can't tell you. Or so recently that they've forgotten. Oh. So recently? So recently they've forgotten. Okay. Okay. I'm on alert. What could I have possibly wronged Ludwig recently? Aiden, you go. What was that face? I've never seen you make that face. You know how your company. Yeah. There's a bit of mismanagement. And you, we, I reported the mismanagement to you. Yeah. A hundred percent. After discovering this. Yes. What if I told you that maybe that guy did nothing wrong? I would have been like, what? so I remember and I keep for gory. You for gory in the honesty test. I'll be real, it was literally all your stuff. But also in there, a lot of rat shit. Like a lot of rat shit. And I got so mad that I had to vacuum all this up now. I just threw all your shit away. In the dumpster. But it's not, I don't, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. I'm not about to sit and argue with the pyramid builder. Yes. But what, I don't see it. I'm not, I didn't take your chain. I want your chain. Yes. I just for gory that it's there. Yes. The whole time. How is it dishonesty if I for gory? I got a good one. It's because it's almost like you could steal, and I'm not saying you've done this, but you could steal $1,000 from me and then a month later be like, I don't even remember doing that. And then I show you the video and be like, I don't remember. I don't remember. This isn't a theft. I was given this. I was the highest degree. I was given this by your beautiful fiance. She's a conspirator. Ah, trouble in paradise. Aiden, I do you have an actual I have a real one. Okay. I similar to Nick. You get clothes from a certain brand who that nobody else is supposed to wear. Oh, yeah. You get new shipments of these clothes all the time. Do I? Okay. And rebel. The thing is, rebel makes great stuff. Yeah. And athletes only though. And like a guy might be tempted to see when he sees the clothes he sees the flippant way that Ludwig treats his clothes in general. Yeah. And the way he forgets them in places the way he doesn't wear them. And a guy might steal some of the clothes from those batches that he thinks are particularly cool so he can wear them. What's the last item you saw? There is like this thread sort of jersey looking thing that you got in one of the most recent. There's some bullshit. There's some absolute bullshit. Sounds fucking cool. Yeah, it sounds fucking cool. No, it's like you wouldn't. I don't even think you would like it. Yeah. Minus a hundred points. What? It's Aiden. It's Aiden. It's Aiden, Slime, and Nick for lying to me. Wait, what? How did he lie? I stole a C920 from the warehouse a couple years ago. What? It was a C920 webcam. It's at my house. You can have it back. That was mine! Dude, I lost a C920! Nevermind. Thank you. I appreciate that. Professor L, we all lost the same amount of points. You all lose a hundred and you all gain a hundred points. You all gain a hundred and one points. For honesty, we'll set you free. Oh! I like that! The score is now, Nick, I believe you're at four. Wait, we all got a hundred and one though. We all lost a hundred and then you got a hundred and one. So you're up one point. Didn't I have two? Oh, you're at three. Wait, I'm at zero. You're at zero, you're at three, you're at two. Great, perfect. Oh, yeah, you are at four. Oh, I'm at four? Alright. Nick, you are down to three because you remembered your scoring correctly. Fair enough. It's your score. I'll get it back in blood. I don't know if there's like people coming into the warehouse, but I got my shit snatched. You got your shit snatched? Yeah, somebody snatched my chain. Dude, he doesn't know. He doesn't know. Why are you laughing? Because we're having a joke that you're not in on. It's not a joke because I don't have any cool jewelry. I mean, I. Why is he stretching so nonchalantly? I don't know. He definitely didn't snatch your chain, but if you need a new one, do you need a new chain? Do you need a new chain? I need a new chain and maybe more. Oh, it's so easy. You can go to GLD and you can get a new chain set up right for you. High quality, high quality pieces at a variety of price points. Okay, well, I mean, I have. Don't think about the old one. Stop thinking. I see you looking at him. He's just smelling himself. Is it better when you get your chain snatched to snatch it back or buy a new product? Just buy it. For you, buy a new product. Okay. And you can do that because GLD's proprietary production provides high tier quality and shine. And whatever your style is, which I honestly at this point don't know, GLD's got it. Let me tell you why I snatched your chain. Yeah, it was me. Oh, God. And I snatched it because you left it somewhere. I didn't take it off your neck because that would have been really hard to do physically. Let me tell you why I did that. Why'd you do that? Because three years ago, I had a really cool Ronald McDonald Super Bowl ring with Grimace on it. And you took it because you thought it was yours. For a limited time, new customers are getting an insane deal. What's the deal? You're going to get 40% off at GLD.com. It's a good amount of money. That's 40% off with code YARD at GLD.com. After you purchase, support our show and tell them we sent you. Lock in and upgrade your style this summer with GLD. Upgrade your style. I got a special ring and you took it. Now you don't even know where my Grimace ring is. I'm on the website and honestly, a lot of the stuff here looks good. Where's my Grimace ring? Hey, I'll get it, bro. You'll get it? From GLD. Alright! Next round! You guys are doing very well. Thank you, bro. Thank you, bro. Now it's time for the test of brains. Do me a favor and pull out your phones. For this test, I need the people on my pyramid to be smart. I need you to open up your DMs with me directly. I want you to send me a number. The second highest number wins this round. Wow. You cannot share the number that you are going to send to me. And it's any number? No max? It can be any number, but the second highest number will win the round. All three of you are expected to send me a number. You can talk amongst yourselves. Can I ask one question? Can we ban negative numbers? Can we? All numbers are legal. Maybe I'll throw a negative number in there, bitch. I'm doing negative 400. Will you follow me? Will you? Oops. Looks like I have conviction. You sent it? The conviction of a man who deserves to be at the top of that pyramid. You sent your number. What number do you think he likes the most? We can play against him and make him lose. Aiden's number is in. I think. I can't tell you. It's too pivotal to my strategy. Too pivotal to your strategy? I can't tell you. I think I know what he picked. Do you want two men who can't make a decision at the top of that pyramid? I do agree with you. They're taking a while and it's something that I will keep in mind. I sent. Nick has sent his number. I sent mine. Slime has sent his number. One of you sent a negative number. Negative one. Nick, you are out. That was the lowest number. No one else sent one. This is going to be close. I'm not kidding. You guys are within 1.5 of each other. Aiden, you sent the number two. Slimey, what is the number.5? One half. A fraction. One half wins. 5! I sent.5! I'm smarter than you! And I'm smarter than you! Slime is smarter than both of you. Does he get more points because he's closer to his number? Slime will get two points. Aiden will get one point. You will get zero points. Because he's closer? We're equally close, are we not? Because of the negative bullshit. How dare you? He's an honest ruler. How the fuck does that fucking feel? Sorry. I need to do a confession. I would have spent my life that he was a zero picker. Yeah, I also thought zero would have come into play. When I made the challenge, I was like, "Oh, it's going to be like zero, one point five." And that's going to be the three-nine pick. My first pick was.5 and I adjusted to two. I picked negative one because if anyone picked any negative number, I'd be between that and zero. Someone close it! I thought zero would be the highest. If you did.5, Nick would have won. Aiden, you're at one point. Are you nervous about not making the pyramid? There's not a lot of rounds left. To be clear, I cannot make the pyramid at all. If you don't get ten points, yeah. What was the point of winning mogul money? For a better spot in the pyramid, but you have to get into the pyramid. It's like you have Disney's Fastpass. You're not supposed to hear this. Is this good? I didn't realize how distracting the confessional would be. Did you hear me there? No, I was quiet at all. The shed's a fun place to do it. It's produce. The sticker's on it. I wish we had a mic. Archie will put it in. The sticker's on it. You just have to all send your confessionals to Archie. I don't know the code. Do you know the code? Okay, should we wait or should we move on? is to pick it up as nonchalantly as possible this is all physicality how easy you make it look is how many points you will receive wow aiden you'll be up first for this this is a visual test have you tried only visual test it's really hard guys it's 45 pounds but there's nothing to grip why is he stalking his prey see if i saw this guy i wouldn't think he's being nonchalant i think he's being somewhat chalant there's a conspicuousness to this yeah well so far it looks like he's trying to fuck me his legs are so long you look like dlc for something hey man what's going on what's going on bro what's up are you laughing about check what out the shoes you want to check out his shoes oh yeah you can go take a look how did he get like that wow you that was awesome that was awesome you can place the cube down you can place the cube down you know he did that was the art of misdirection that was good yeah because i was looking at your vans and then all of a sudden it was gone for why am i interested in my shoe he made me that it's like i don't even remember how who's up next uh i'll go i'll go audio listeners it's the 45 pound tungsten cube we're asking them to pick it up as nonchalantly as possible oh all you need the cube wait i'm on i'm on that was pretty good that was pretty good you did not look you picked it up so smooth the pickup was smooth but the yawn made it less nonchalant can you imagine duke dennis going you you you I was tired yeah yeah i also to be fair in another test of honesty don't look at me try to carry it past

really funny look on his face it's like a sitcom like what what are you looking at and it's very it's very refined great round wow that's actually really tough to judge that's actually really tough to judge two points eight and one point nick zero points time that's final that's final that's final you were a yawn away from a point fuck i shouldn't have yawned score update i want to contest it so bad i'm in the running but i know it'll only hurt me you can contest he was laughing during it huh that's not nonchalant what is wrong with a man who loves to laugh free expression it was nonchalant

friends just because he's on this adventure i say that because maybe monkey d luffy eating the gum gum fruit it was a curse to him but through the adventures on the open sea maybe he realized it was a blessing all along monkey d luffy is the best character because he goes gum gum power because he got power wow great answers time aiden aiden a little emotional there my favorite character nope the best character the best character you looked at the screen and it says the best one piece character i was busy doing a special yeah it's there but yeah he has the multitasking skills of a baby of an actual fucking baby the best one piece character ah i mean i king knew it i fucking knew it i fucking knew you're gonna spoil on my fucking show bro i knew you're gonna do this shit i put this in i thought he won't do it but you guys there you go you come and do it i can't even watch it now really guess we can't watch all of them i would say given that that happens i would say red-haired shanks yeah because he sort of has this this noble spirit that somebody that luffy looks up to he's kind of a the embodiment of the positives of what a pirate can be yes and also one of my favorite friends and players that i learned the game melee from used his name as his tag who gives a fuck this is about one piece you i have my points as ever can you show next slide the correct answer was kuma none of you guessed it correctly it's fine can you explain who he is and what he does well he loves god it would take the rest of the show that's awesome lovely i don't know if you know this his name's kuma right yeah which is actually that actually means bear in japanese so you see the paws i think those are probably bear paws i know i know you do that yes come on you are come comey come me comey that means demon yeah okay aiden you had the best answer you get two points however you spoiled so you get minus five you had to pay the price but you do like shanks shanks was the correct answer you get two for that it's a great character second place that gets one point nami in the reasoning was a horrible answer last place zero points everyone in the show has a big rack everyone um bad news for you that was a pretty bad round for score updates at home i don't know if you can see the home yeah you are now at zero points slime you are in the lead and nick you are in second with four i just bet on mario on the box yeah you need 10 points to move on oh my gift's here your gift's here i'll tell christian i'll tell you mine i'll tell christian you go tell him you don't have to go you don't have to go get it he's so excited oh mine is two are you gonna make him get it for you he will tamper with it he won't christian will just naturally because he is he has the predator he'll have to grab both he'll have no control over it did christian furrow his brow at you and you felt a little no no what's the what's here slightly yeah i'll get it christian christian also it's not his fault but i was like did i get a package here in june he's like no and i'm like and i asked the person who sent it i was like yeah they he sent me the the ups thing and it said um received by christian on june and i sent that to christian he's like oh let me check the security camera and then uh a week after that he's like i found it I'm like, thank you, bro. Thank you, bro. Dude, this warehouse is like a hole for packages. Yeah. Packages disappear here. And maybe sometimes they're filled with. And sometimes they're taken. I think what's magical is that you can never find the one you need, but there's so many on the shelf. Maybe you want a jersey and it's taken. What? Well, yeah. Or maybe you want some like beef jerky snack and it's gone. And it's taken. That was a wonderful snack. Do you know how much that beef jerky snack cost? How much? It's like $50 a bag. It was 20. I want to say it was 25. That's half. It was like a three ounce bag. It was more, bro. No, no, no. Maybe it wasn't. Maybe it might not be. I don't know. I think it's 50 for a three pack, but the packs are literally like a bite size. Ugh. It was so good. All right. Next round. Round seven. Welcome to trivia time. Oh, shit. Here is your trivia question. Who is the fattest man to have ever lived? Or how much did he weigh? Or. I will accept either answer. Fattest man to have ever lived or how much did he weigh? It's just trivia time. Because if you're going to be on my pyramid, I need people of intellect. This is a test. This is a test. Some sort of test. I think he's testing us to not say something funny. Yeah. Well, I think he's testing us to not all have the same answer. We could defy him and say the one person we know is the right answer. What would he do then? I don't know what he'd do. Wait a minute. I need you to text me your answers. Just text me. I'm asking you a trivia question. Who the fattest. Fattest man to have ever lived. Or how much did he. You can also. You can do and or. And or. If you'd like to also. So name. We can say the name. You can say the name. And then also if you want to include like how much you think the peak weight is, that's also fine. But we don't have to include the weight. No, no, no, no. You can just say the name. I don't know if I can quantify it. Okay. I think I got it. I think. I'm pretty sure I have it spot on. You answered big ass. Okay. Dude, I didn't think about that. I'm not creative in these games. Nick, you also answered Atria. Really? I can't believe you didn't catch that one. I didn't think about that. Slime, slime foot, Badland Chugs, 621 pounds. Honestly, it's close. Yeah. It's close between those two. I thought Badland Chugs. The correct answer is John Brown. Brouwer, Minoc. Wasn't it? Who weighed 1,400 pounds. Is that Atria? I was going to say 1,300. I was going to say 13. Is that Atria's real name? Atria is the second closest. He's the fattest living man. Yeah. Oh, it's from Everland. He is currently. He is currently. He is currently. He's currently. 1150. Yeah. If he can be Brouwer, it's huge. One point for Nick, one point for Aiden, zero points for Slime. That's fine. Why did I say Badland Chugs? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what that came from. It's too much soda for a man. It's also so funny. You're like the fattest living man in the world. You're like, yeah, probably Badland Chugs. Like, who's fatter than people on TLC? I don't know. Have you ever seen that? There's that famous NBA play where, like, Luka dives on the floor. He tosses the ball to Kyrie. Kyrie tosses it behind his back, and the guy flies in for the dunk. That was you. And you just didn't jump in. Yeah, I didn't. Let's sit up. That was outside three-point line. Guys, I've been struggling to order. I don't like to go out for the table when I go out and eat. You're kidding me. Really? It's uncharacteristic. I thought you were a high ELO orderer. I'm an extremely high ELO food orderer. You're normally so good at it. I don't know what's going on. I think I just need to stop. I don't know. I need to stop going out to restaurants for all my meals, but I don't know how else to eat. Dude, I have the same issue. You have the same issue? Sometimes high ELO orderers get the yips. You guys got the yips? What I do to bounce back is I like to try a lot of food that's really good and easy to eat at home. But where do you get it if you don't go out and eat? Hungry Root. It's called Hungry Root, dude. I'm hungry. Every high ELO player does this. Every single one? Yes. High quality, nutritious foods. Over a thousand grocery items. Salad kits, smoothies, snacks. It's like Uncle Punch, but for your food. Smoothies and sweets and smoothies. This is funny because you guys having the yips and using Hungry Root to take a break and bolster your skills of ordering leaves the vacuum of power open for me. I'd like to order for the table. Well, we're going to come back stronger because we're going to be ready to- I'd like to order for the table. I don't want that. One huge cheeseburger. No, no, no, no. See, this is why- Everyone get all the meat together and make one huge cheeseburger. This is why you need to get Hungry Root because food to eat ready in 15 minutes or less and we need you back in the fucking order room. And pepperonis on top. When you order, you always order this and maybe if you tried Hungry Root- I don't always order it. I would argue you'd know it about thousands of different options. Let me throw you some things that you could learn too, Slime. Pork bomb me. Scallop ceviche. Seared Wagyu filet mignon. Oh, my word. That sounds so good. None of these things are big hamburgers. Waiter, I would like a big glass of melted gummy worms. Ew. Oh, my God. Hungry Root doesn't have that. That has additives. Nobody should be eating that. Hungry Root screens out over 200 additives. Yeah. And if you want Hungry Root Slime, which I'm not really sure you do, but we definitely do, for a limited time, get 40% off your first box. Plus, get a free item in every box for life. Go to HungryRoot.com slash the yard and use code the yard. That's HungryRoot.com slash the yard. Code. Code the yard to get 40% off your first box and a free item of your choice for life. Gummy worms, I think, are excluded. Do you think they'd let me order it, too? Yeah, and I think also maybe barbecue sauce, but I want it dripped off of the waiter's body. This is high ELO ordering. Hungry Root won't do that. I know, and I'm ordering for the table while these guys are doing Hungry Root or whatever that is. Episode. Waiter, use your butt. All right. You are tied in front. First, five points apiece, and you have one point. Round eight. We only, we're halfway through, guys. We are halfway through. Be honest with me. Yes. Can I still win? Always. Okay. The pyramid awaits. Next. Test of gamer. Ah, butt of gals. All right. For this one, very simply, we're going to do a bout of rock, paper, scissors. Can you go next slide and make sure? Yes. Rock, paper, scissors. Three-way? Three-way? We're going to do a three-way. Oh. And then, and then, and a limit, final best of three. Are we going on shoot or on scissors? We're going to go on shoot. Okay. Oh, excuse me. We're not doing Rochambeau. Three-way, rock, paper, scissors. For you to be my pyramid, you need to prove you're a great gamer. That's ultimately what bonds us. Do you still have it in you? Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. I will call it. Okay. I'm going to do it with my eyes closed. So there either will be one winner out of this or one loser. Correct. Okay. And either way, we're moving to, we're going to go to the next. Hold. Slime, you win! It's a 2-0 defeat. Rock. Paper for slime, two rock idiots. Two rock idiots. No. We're second. I don't give a fuck. You guys lost. Not for one point? You're losers. Oh, we're losers. Two points for slime, 0-0. What? Yeah. It was elementary, really, to go rock. Right. Simple idea. Ah, you know what? Actually, yeah, play it out. I would like to see it. Best of what? Playing out third in ASL. Because I can't. Nick. Here's the deal. He's a fucking, he's a primate. I don't know, scissors. I don't know, paper. Aiden, you get one point. Only rock. Nick, you lose a point. Why? Because we weren't going to run the game. I didn't ask you. It was an aura loss. I just asked if we were. You low-key asked. Fine. Fine. It was an aura loss. Next round. He rocks again. Round nine. The test of memory. Oh, boy. I will let whoever raises their hand first answer this question. Does it ever show the question? Fine. All the ghosts in Pac-Man. Oh, my God. It's Inky, Blinky, Clyde, and. Inky, Blinky, Clyde, and. Uh. We got a five-minute segment on this? At Mogul Money, you did the same thing. Really? Yeah. Yeah, you can only relate. You did the same exact thing. Steve. Yeah, yeah. Ah, fuck. Yeah, that's wrong. Ah, fuck. Minus one for Slott. Fuck. It's the test of memory. Oh, my God. This was a huge deal on the Mogul Monday. It was literally the most viewed segment of it. I asked you to name all four ghosts. You named four. You named one was a Mr. Pac-Man ghost. Yeah, which was a problem. And which didn't count. Okay, this is it. Because women aren't. Voices aren't important. Which is what you were saying then, too. Mm-hmm. And then I told you the correct answer, and you went, really? And it just hasn't stuck. I don't even know. It hasn't stuck. Okay, if we try, we will maybe lose a point or gain a point. If we don't try, do we gain nothing? Oh, if you. Don't try, you gain nothing. It's all subjective in the game. Okay, I see. See, I might even get a point because I was brave enough to raise my hand. Who knows? He won't. I'm going to try. Yes. Inky, Blinky. Pinky Clyde Nick That is correct You get a point Nick One point for Nick There's a pink one It's Inky Blinky Pinky Clyde And in Ms. Pac-Man it was Sue right? In Ms. Pac-Man it was Sue correct The orange one was Sue They also added another woman Which is Well we like to talk about the one with the man in it 8 and minus 5 for not trying Bitch Fuck is up bitch Dude I don't know See you in the pyramid motherfucker See ya I'll see you from the stands dude See you not I'll see you from the stands with stands Next round Round 10 Welcome To the test of Otani For this round you just have to tell me The best Otani fact It can be any fact about Otani at all But the best fact wins What's your best Otani fact First player to ever have a 50-50 Season 50 runs 50 bases stolen It's true It's It was an incredible season It's a decent fact I don't even like baseball And that got me That sucked me in He is the first to achieve 50 runs And 50 bases stolen In a single season Nobody's ever done that Oh I actually know one When he was When he was a kid He lived in like a village Why are you smiling?

What did you search? I searched big penis And it's a guy with like a baguette I assume? Yeah, it's a piece of food in a kitchen. But he lifts his apron and it looks like a huge penis. Yeah, it does look massive Scored by the Dej Loaf song, Try Me I'll say this, I also selected my gif before I received my caption And I just had to go with it. Nick, you also did that. Yes You picked your gif before seeing the caption, your caption was when you Mickey Mouse but slow stroking Your gif? Yeah And it's the stormtrooper What is it? You picked that before? I picked that before, yeah Literally, you said gif, I said humping stormtrooper When you Mickey Mouse and you slow stroking But, to be fair, that's not slow. No, Mickey Mouse don't know slow. Do you watch the Don't Stroke? Mickey got hated for this Archie, when you put these on screens, you put the gif with the caption and just let it play for itself. I think Think about this I'm thinking hard Excluding Spider-Man You're at 0-8 in this It's like not even a question You just looked up static shock in Giphy, bro You're in lie, you get 0 points. I did not What did you search then? I looked up YouTuber halftime show and that just came up I looked up Black Heroes and that's where I settled I will give one point to each of you Okay Take that A 40 degree day To all three of us No, no, no, to each of them Oh, sick It still gets 0 points for that Next round Reverse trivia idea round I don't, cause I don't know the answer Who is status shock's nemesis? Um, various It varied? Various Did they have a big one? Uh, probably Cause like, what's the opposite of shock? Water No I think there was a goo guy His homie was like a nerd who was like low-key Iron Man Who like couldn't do shit but like low-key invented like a fucking hovercraft when he was in high school Dynamic Thunder Dynamic Thunder I don't know, it's been 20 years since I've seen it Oh yeah, it is Eben Ivan Evans Yeah, yeah, yeah Okay Uh, okay Round 13 Test of game sense Hmm I'm gonna show you a clip It's a CS2 clip of mine You need to Oh Guess what's going to happen after the clip stops Okay So you'll all have the opportunity to watch It's more of a video exercise Apologies to audio listeners We'll go to the Here's the clip Your face, bro What is your face, bro? Push, push fast Let's just take fast Oh, one peeked out Nice Eben's in the game now Oh, he's on site, so he's behind box Okay, recap We rushed A I had a deagle That's two It was a 4v3 Aiden said might flank I turn around I look at flank Then Aiden dies as somebody on site It is now a 3v3 Guys, what happens next? What happens next? Aiden, I make you go first 'Cause you were actually in the game Yeah, yeah, yeah You know what? I'm gonna make you go first I'm gonna make you go first Okay, so I'm gonna make you go first Okay, so I'm gonna make you go first What happens next? What happens next? Aiden, I make you go first Aiden, I make you go first 'Cause you were actually in this This is in the game This is from a year ago I don't know if you remember Probably not It was a year old I don't remember So what do you think happens? What do I think happens? What do I do? I think Guy like me I think You I think I think You I think I think You Get impatient Holding long doors Holding long doors And They start to hit They start to hit Sight from like Sight from like cat Sight from like cat Or CT Or CT And then you give up your position on long And then you give up your position on long And then get shot in the back And then get shot in the back And then get shot in the back By a guy coming long Such a good guess Guess locked That's such a good guess Next guess My guess is that My guess is that You catch the guy flank You catch the guy flank One dig Boom Blood on the wall Like a melon got exploded by a hammer Like a melon got exploded by a hammer Turn around Uh oh Uh oh Teammates are dead It's a long fight 2v1 I don't even need him Terrorists win Terrorists win Okay Okay So I get I get a 3k with the deagle Okay Wow I think that Someone pushes the smoke Someone pushes the smoke On cross And kills your teammate And you get blamed And you get blamed Okay you think it's a verbal altercation Okay you think it's a verbal altercation That I have with Aiden That's about to happen Yes Ooh That's smart That's a really smart guess Okay Decent guess Uh play the next clip Running up long I got the deagle I do give up the deagle I do the smoke I do a bad smoke for cross Oh Bang Guy flank I blow his head off like a melon Eagle demon Oh Yup It's not over That looks fucking good Oh No No Nothing could have prepared me What did I say I said a 3k This is The correct answer Slime should win Was I turn around I kill the guy flank after giving up position Bop his head like a melon Then I go on site I kill the guy cat And then I jump off of site And I turn around And I flick my teammate kill him Getting him a 3k slime You get 2 points Dude Oh my So I get 2 points for that That's just good baseball It's funny because I misremembered how many were alive on the screen Yeah So I thought it would be a 1v3 And it was a 1v2 There technically there were 3 they died But from a teammate unseen Yeah but then as played the hand ended up being a 1v3 Because you jumped off of the site And mid air 1d'ed your teammate 1d my teammate In hindsight In hindsight a clip from that long ago would have been a highlight Yeah I should have realized that Yeah I don't have an altercation save from a year ago Score update guys we only have a couple rounds left So far Oh my god Wow Wow it's almost the same Nick and slime are both at 9 points Meaning they are 1 point away from making the pyramid Aiden's at -6 Aiden I hope you got a great gift I really do It's the best From target I have to say my gift I couldn't imagine you publicly disliking it Okay Wow Oh I know what his gift is So one of the kind of big arguments we had early on in the podcast Is when I used Ludwig's company's money to buy a huge Sibian for the yard This is true And I brought it onto the set and it cost like $2000 And at the time I didn't really think about it And Ludwig was reasonably like hey don't do that And these are the kind of monetary mistakes and decisions that were made early on in our podcast Well running a business is tough Any business could make that mistake Any business could accidentally buy a Sibian too many staples All these things are you know it's overhead it happens you know That's why I use Shopify And that's why we now use Shopify Shopify check out how it's more customers finish their purchase And when they come back their details already saved One tap and they're done Four Sibians right to your house So then when Slime is kind of forgetting like what should I buy for my business And he doesn't have to falsely remember Sibian He can just click what he ordered last time Which is still Sibians in there Well It powers millions of businesses from household names like Mattel and Gymshark To small businesses like Sibians.com So forgive me maybe I'm not remembering the argument correctly But it seems like the thread here is actually It's not that he bought the Sibian It's that he didn't buy it using a Shopify checkout service I don't know it either Book a book cause cha ching Start your free trial at Shopify.com/theyard You can use it if

can be a hug What are you doing over there? I'm getting my gift ready It can be a handshake It can be a hug Right But whatever it is Guys I'm ready for you Who would like to go first? I'm going to make one of you two go first Go first or you're in the lead. I'll go first. Very nonchalant. Wow. You look satisfied. For the audio listeners, I kissed his neck. No, you didn't just kiss his neck. You made him sit on a milk crate, and then you got on top of him reverse hot dog, like on the toilet, like Butters drinking his chocolate milk, and then you hugged him, and then you gave him a kiss on his neck. I've reached that position. Who's up next? Classic T-pose. Aiden has a bloody good T-pose. Oh, my God. Now Aiden is T-posed. Aiden has taken his hands, started them on his shoulders from behind to Ludwig, then he runs his hands alongside his arms, interlocked his hands behind Ludwig. It looks as if Ludwig is being crucified on an Aiden cross. And then he said, you've got to say it. You've got to say it. You've got to say the line. Watch out, I'm on top. Of the world. Watch out, I'm on top of the world. King of the world. Say it. Oh, you're the one who says it, no? You're Jack. Jack was in the back. I'm not helping him. Both of them misremembering the scene in Titanic on the bow of the ship. Oh, now he's holding his head down. Jack's in the back. He's got his head down like he has whiskey dick. Now Aiden has. Now Aiden's in the front. I'm the king of the world. And now Ludwig has said, I'm the king of the world. Alright, I got this. Can you get, can you get like. Slime gives him a classic bump into a guy, feel like it's kind of hard and be like, wow, you are working out. Compliment. Wow. That is tough to judge. I have to say, Nick's was great. Indeed. Indeed. Indeed. Indeed. Indeed. Until he kissed me. That was the central part. It was so rough. Rough? Yeah. I don't, you don't even have beard visible, but. Oh, scruffy. It was scruffy. That's nice though. I felt an attack on my neck. It was like a, no, it's like a sexual sandpaper. You know, it's like, I'm, I'm like scratching away the part I'm going to attack. Aiden's getting it ready. You made me shiver. I know. I didn't, I didn't, it was like more of like a, like a, you know. Like a, like, uh, cause, cause we didn't even get the line right. I had to swap. It was really, it looked like the first time someone was having sex. Slime. It was all right. Uh, you know what? If I'm being honest, zero points, zero points, minus 10 for Aiden. Zero points? Yeah. If I didn't kiss you? How? Uh, what? It would have been one. It was a great hug. Explain to me. Huh? Minus 10? Yeah. Minus 10 for that round. Was it not? We sure. Cause Jack's in the back, Aiden. We messed up the line. Cause Jack's in the back. We messed it up. It's your round. It's your round. You messed up the line. And then you made me stay from behind you. I don't know why you wanted to be Rose. You could have been Jack and I could have been Rose. You could have just said the line. That's the gayest shit I've ever done. My thought about that, mine was that like, how nice is it to get like a, oh, what's up? Pat on the back and be like, dude, you look huge. Yeah. But I guess it wasn't enough contact. Yeah. What would you have liked? I think, um, I think, had you played with it more? Oh. Oh. I would have gotten there. Wow. Wow. Okay. Damn. Fuck. Score update. Negative nine for Nick. Or excuse me. Nine for Nick. Nine for Slime. Negative 16 for Aiden. This is a horse race. I'll say it. It just doesn't make any sense. Aiden, it's okay. Because there's only one round left. Can you show the final one? It's time for you to reveal your gifts. This is your last opportunity to get points. Okay. I know what Aiden's gift is. Uh, I can. You got a confessional? I. A confessional from Aiden. Wow. Have you done your second one? I haven't done my second one. You gotta squeeze that in at some point. Hmm. Maybe I'll do it after the competition. Uh. Could you please give your gifts? My confession is, uh, I'm terrible at giving gifts, man. It's real. I get overwhelmed. I feel like I'm so bad with coming up with ideas. I don't know how to give gifts. It's like my, one of my weakest character traits. And I've tried to give gifts to them in the past. And every gift feels like a flub. Wow. That was a good one. That was heavy. Ugh. And I don't know how to improve at this at all. How do you get good gifts for people? Genuinely. This is my cry for help. My balls aren't even out. Did you cry in there? No. No. Who would like to go first? I'll go first. Well, mine, Ludwig, is I got you a whole box of overnight of gifts. I'm going to give you a little gift. most expensive watch there how much was it how much was that i told you i had to kill you how much is it so much 14 wow that's 14 14 mine costs 60 all in yeah but

just kidding all right pick your spot what does your what does your butt have to say wait so i get to pick my spot you get to pick your spot in the six-man pyramid yes joining you on the pyramid for context will be uh both connor michael and christian good pyramid strong pyramid it is a six-man pyramid obviously connor's gonna be on the bottom why is that obvious he's hemophiliac biggest problem hemophiliac you can leave your fingerprints on him oh man michael michael's strong michael is strong it's a very strong man it's quite a strong you guys are the ones taking down the average strength if you look at christian connor and michael i can't be the top come on what is that face come on he's coming up with new faces i'm also strong yeah you are that's a new face you are strong you are strong all right do i have to pick right now uh yes for the people yes because then they'll see the photo just one two three it's top six or six middle or bottom three i mean it's tough for him because if he chooses the top how vain vanity he chooses the bottom what is he a mailman it's the support yeah but the middle has no center the middle is unremarkable there's only left and right i i i disagree i find all three positions delightful a guy like me i either go bottom middle because i carry the most weight or i go top top wow ludwig you know what because everyone's expecting this answer at the top i'd like to go bottom middle wow out of the support because i'd like to be your bottom bitch the trust and the bottom bitch is the one is the foundation for the rest of the bitches wow crucial bitch that's a crucial bitch to the pyramid so i'd like to lock in i'm in the bottom middle of the pyramid locked pyramid has been decided everybody the pyramid awaits you'll see the first one in the middle of the pyramid photo coming soon that was the the pyramid games now who who are you designating the rest of the pyramid well aiden will have to be a middle row because he won mogul money yeah uh and then it will mostly come down to who can support whose weight it's not an easy pyramid maybe you know zempic autumn is in store for slime slime i won't lie top is gonna be hard oh i'm gonna need slime next to me slime next to me you probably want michael on the top i want michael on the top what if it's the three of us on the bottom i think three of us should be on the bottom well he that could work i think that's the way to do it because they work together and we just gotta get connor's big out there you got connor big out there shit bro and then christian's light michael's light christian's easy michael's easy that's that's the way guys i think that's not a bad idea but i'm picking the center that's a good strategy i think okay and not to and not to theorycraft your own pyramid the three of us on the bottom and then michael and connor in the middle of the pyramid the three of us on the bottom and then michael and connor in the middle and christian on the top the glowing boy he's the one that you think that he supports all of us we actually enable him to do his work christian is your glowing boy he is my glowing boy okay he glows this is all this will all be
