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.

you're saying this pyramid is comprised of six units six units and if you know what i'm saying
how a six-person pyramid works that's a three-person base two in the middle one on top but i've been
promised a spot above them you've been promised a spot in the middle above someone i went up one

Ready to go?
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, fuck.
Oh, fuck.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh.
Oh, fuck.
Oh.
Oh.
Okay.
That was so good, dude.
That was so good.
I hold judgment.
But that's good.
Thank you, professor.
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

monkey d luffy

an adventurer
someone who's cursed
but cursed in a way
almost doomed to make friends
for the rest of his life
oh oh wow
cursed to a life of adventure
cursed to a life of trouble
can i ask why he's cursed
valiance
well because he ate the fruit
the gum gum fruit
yeah
and and why is he cursed to make 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

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

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

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?
He lived in like a village
And local like people would come by
And they'd throw oranges at his dad
And he got really good at like
He was a good player
Like batting the oranges away
And like he
And one time he hit one so far
He hit someone in a different village
And everyone was like
Have you heard of this Otani kid?
He's got the craziest arm in the whole village
And that's how he started playing baseball
He hit a kid in another village
In a different village
Yeah
And it was still an orange
He's from Oita
And that's how he started playing baseball
He's from
The town is Oita
Yeah it was from Oita
The Oita slugger
That's what they call him
Okay great
That's so beautiful
It's a beautiful fact
I'm honestly
It's a beautiful fact
Just kind of well
And then he became a
L.A. Dodger
Now he's an L.A. Dodger
He's the first guy from his village actually
To be an L.A. Dodger
That's true
Probably not the last
Yeah
That's so beautiful
Wow
My Shohei Otani fact is
Despite him
Allegedly
Being close to being thrown
Into a debtor's prison
For
An array of debts
Gambling and otherwise
He owns a home
In La Cañada
Here in L.A.
I'm sorry
What are the gambling
It felt like
The fact was
The owning the home
I don't understand
Well I was giving context
How cool is it
That you can have a home
But also
Kind of walk on the edge of life
A public home
When you're on the run
Yeah
You know everyone knows
Where you live
So it's going to be
Two points for Aiden
One point for Nick
Really
Really
Okay
Because I never knew
About the Oita slugger
No that's what it was
You probably knew
About the house in La Cañada already
Can I say
That was a good fact
You actually hear in the crowd
When he
Oh my god
O-S
O-S
Yeah
O-S
They say it
Minus one for slime
Minus one
Because he has never gambled
That's a lie
That is the best Ohtani fact
A lie in this section
Ohtani has never once gambled
Famously
A lie has no place in this section
Not even a little baccarat
No
Maybe a couple chips on the dragon
He wouldn't know what to do
Really
They would give him the cards
And he'd be like
When do they flip
He'd just smile at the dealer
When do they flip
That Ohtani smile
Next round
Round 11
Only a few rounds left
What's the score update
I'm curious
It is six points for Nick
Five for slime
And negative one for Aiden
Oof
And there's only four rounds left
You took away five points
For the Pac-Man question
Yeah you didn't
You didn't try
That's crazy
It's pathetic
It's pathetic to not try
Round 11
You can earn a lot back here
I think honestly
I think this is your round
Uh oh
John Pork is calling
Everyone take out your phones

You were at negative 40 bro
Trust me this is good for you
I think I already gold brewed
Alright so everyone sent their gifs in
Yeah
Do you want to go straight to the gifs
Gifs
Gifs or gifs
The gifs
The gifs
The g-i-f-s
Okay not the gifs that we ordered you
Gifs gifs
Zipper can you pull them up
Would you like to introduce them or would you like me to read your captions and then just look at it
I think the way it should go is you read the caption
And then we see the gif
And then you see the gif
Okay well I will start with Aiden's
Zipper can you get Aiden's gif ready
*laughs*
*laughter*
and your caption was
Badland Chug's Funeral Halftime Show
and the gif was
playing, yeah, it was static shock
spinning around, you looked up
static shock, I'm laughing because you sent
it to me, so when I went to read
it, I just saw the gif
I just saw, did you just look up
the last thing you heard?
Can I tattle?
MP4
Wasn't a gif, the.mp4
Wait, it's a gif! No, it is a gif, it shows it for me
Zipper just opened it up in VLC
Yeah, I think because it was VLC
it opened weird, I think you need to open it on the website
Zipper, ideally
You can drag it onto any web browser and it'll loop itself
Um, alright
Next slide
Your caption was
Let a neighbor try me
dot dot dot, try me
dot dot dot, I'm gonna get his whole motherfucking
family
and the gif
P.S.
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

Round 14 let's take a look
The physical test
For this round
All you have to do
Is physically touch me in the most satisfying way possible
Because if you're going to be a part of my pyramid
You need to be able to please me
Physically in the most satisfying way possible
Yes
It can be a handshake
It 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 if you feel it you kind of get
the idea that oh it looks really good it looks amazing and you can wear that basically anywhere
it goes with anything dude it feels like it's made out of paper it's golden blue it goes crazy
all right can you go next round guys it is time for us to reveal the final score so big
just to update everybody you're at nine you're at nine aiden you are currently at negative 16
if we remember from the start you need 10 points to join the pyramid
and you also if you get the most points we'll get to choose your spot in the pyramid
all right now for this
final round
i would like to award two points to nick yeah it's a great gift because he has the best gifts
that puts him at 11 points he's currently in the lead slime although it takes a little extra work
i literally had overnight oats today it's a good gift i'll give you a point thank you bro
you're at 10 points thank you bro
aiden
aiden look at me
aiden
and you're at negative 16
but
no but everyone in this room i love dearly and i hope you all will be my groomsmen at my wedding
and so i'm gonna give you 26 points to get you over the threshold wow and i have to ask you
will you three be my groomsmen
wow
i'm like so like busy that day
like i'm i'm like what so busy
your wedding i didn't even say the date yet
what date is it
i don't want to say it now
no it's telling me because i might not be busy
usually it's going to be a january 3rd
that's the day
that's the day you're busy
that's the day
hey what's the deal between us
no i'm kidding
no i'm kidding
ah
hey
hey
that was good
that was good
i'm 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 revealed eventually
you will see the photo
eventually
well
wow
do you enjoy the pyramid games
i loved the pyramid games
thank you for the pyramid games
i like the pyramid games
you were doing so bad
yeah but
you were doing so good
you were doing so good
you were doing so good
yeah but i kind of came in
you know like when neville gets a bunch of points at the very end for no reason
yeah
that was me
yeah that was
i'm the sad
dumbledore
dumbledore towards gryffindor 30 points i guess
i don't know
i'm the sad sorry sack of shit for the whole game
yeah
and then you come back
i'm bad at games
dude i didn't i didn't choose funny answers and i didn't choose knockout answers i'm
bad at games like this i love being the question master not the answerer
it is fun to be the question master
question master is the best part
but you also did very well today
but it was
you
you earned 10 points
i got you overnight oh
that was crazy
what am i doing
the walls are closing in i realized
he's wearing your wall
because there's
because there's one man
there's one man who hasn't hosted a game yet
yes
oh god
yes we are waiting for the aidan games
what would it be like
what what
round seven is geography again

it's gonna be for me
it's gonna be it's all the times that maybe i was hurt or slighted
you were hurt
made fun of
wow
on the show
it's gonna be the first time
it's gonna be like multiple choice what did you call me
it's gonna be like just the worst terms possible
i have a photographic memory of every moment
a secret all the above appears
remember the first games of favor where the players have the power
yeah
how are you gonna command respect over me
over that
over this
yeah you i will respect whoever runs the games controls the power
i'm gonna i'm gonna i'm gonna handcuff you all to the fence
handcuffs the fence
i'm gonna handcuff you to the fence
what are you a cartel member
what is this
and maybe i'll maybe it'll be a little electric stick
and we just play that'll be the game
a little pokey stick
yeah
you better get after it
i'm i'm curious what happened in y'all's confessionals
because aiden came back from his confessional crying
you're gonna love
dude
my second one
so you you were telling him
you were telling him to stop drinking your coffee
or start drinking your coffee
nick comes in because he detects something
he's he's buttoning up his pants
like he was just with a prostitute
i do
i was like i was like what are you doing
and you were like what are you doing
it was like a perfect tv bit
i have a question i have a question
what is the what are you gonna do with the confessionals

i don't know why i choked games like this
i didn't do the funny option i did the winning option
what am i doing
either way i really happen to be on the pyramid
it means a lot to me
i think there's nothing more sacred than friendship
canonized
did you make it all yourself
yeah i mean it's just like it's a black and white
wow
it was a crazy hard
it was not like google sheets or powerpoint
slides google slides
that's right
google slides yeah
isn't it fun when you're in there
when i'm making them
when you're in slides you're cooking it up
isn't that kind of fun
well what helped is at first i was doing really detailed slides and then i re-watched yours
and then i was like oh wait it is way worse for audio listeners when the slides are anything except for like a word
so then i i dulled it down that made it easier
you know what's funny on the subject of your wedding um cutie did send me the she's like can you just check this out and see if this all looks good and it was the the invite like form or whatever and i i noticed it was kind of weird
i i noticed a typo immediately and i was like oh here's a typo and she's like wow i sent that to yingling and he didn't catch it
i said no way
it actually came back with a bite removed from the paper

Summary:
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.
