Dude the whole section about COD Elite is crazy, I worked on MW3 and the Elite service and yeah everything Connor mentioned is true, I had no clue Connor was one of the people doing the crazy farming strats. I'm sure I saw his gamertag on the leaderboards many times cause part of my job was to look at all these top people and investigate how they got such high numbers. We did ban people doing it once we started doing the big giveaways like the Jeep. Elite was kind of a mess honestly and we kept having to change the rules because players kept breaking them in unexpected ways.
@@TheFyrePhoenix I had a very small roll in a very large machine, but thanks :) Nothing specific comes to mind, the big thing we where worried about was that the leaderboards where being hacked, like they found a way to specifically send whatever number they wanted. But we figured out that wasn't the case and they where just organizing and using "creative" tactics and it was a big discussion on if it was against the "spirt of the competition" cause technically they weren't cheating. But too many people complained on the forums. Not that there wasn't cheating, I spent ALOT of time trolling various forums and finding people who found exploits and map holes. Like there was a map hole on Black Box where you could slip under the airplane and land on a small solid piece of collision and snip anyone in the map. People posted it on some forum somewhere and we were able to patch it.
@thelasttankmage God that reminds me of all the years of playing old f2p shooters and map clipping being the major strat, learn all the map clips; clip in matches and just spray everyone cause you could shoot out but not in LMAO
The entire bit about Connor having a rotation of Swedish slave children whom he forced to play COD for him had me dying, actually gave me hiccups from laughing

I mean y'all talking about sunsetting and shit but i can say the quality of the podcast for me personally is still going strong. Like there's times where i have to stop what I'm doing cause im doubled over laughing at something someone said on the pod.
i love when connor is on, i hope they do another trash taste crossover one day. the episode where the yard is at the trash taste studio is one of my favorites, connor and garnt's reactions to everything was priceless
Bro the old guy bit broke both of my ankles I was not ready Also Aiden walking up on the dude after basketball and laughing at him is BEAST thats why he's my goat 🐐🐐
52:40 He took the air tag out of the bottom of his shoe??? 🤣 AND has a separate SECRET calendar?! Nah, Aimen, he's cheating on you! He's moonlighting with another podcast. 😅
Honestly I love this podcast for switching topics non stop 1:18:55. Like my ADHD cant get bored when yall are doing the verbal equivalent of doom scrolling comedy shorts.
1:09:35 Connor butting in and making sure slime didn’t shit on himself too hard was actually really positive, everyone has moments where they lack motivation and nobody should feel like a sack of shit for that
This is the first honest to god episode of the yard I've ever tried to watch and that ad at the start is one of the best things I've ever seen on this website 10/10 there is no way the rest of the podcast can live up to it
Crazy that they talk about the podcast turning from something they want to do to just a job. Even crazier that Connor says if they didn't get paid it probably wouldn't happen. Especially interesting to hear about these issues that seem to pop up around the three year mark. I've been a part of a podcast every other week for 8 years and we haven't made a dime on it. I love it. I'll keep doing it as long as I possibly can.
this is the first time I ever watched the yard because i just recently watch every connor vids and somehow have this assumption that podcast is boring. turned out it's absolutely not, especially with entertaining host and guest and topics like this one! lol. i'd listen other chapters definitely :D
Completely unrelated to the episode the newest episode of critical roll they have a guest right now called nick playing a character named Ayden who looks and sounds like both of them combined
Can't believe Nick gets all his tattoos lasered off! Also, love the new avant-garde camera angle for the slime and nick cam. It really shines when slime is yelling; it makes everything feel real unsettled and off balance.
Bro those old men ate, got the mannerisms down. Slime looks good for his age, too.
oh damn I know right? Have not laughed at an intro that hard in a second.
slime is there in spirit, hes prolly still tweetin from hell
The way old man Aiden was sitting was so perfect
Looks better then he ever has been. Lost some weight
I think it is AI
The old guys bit was peak
Listened to this on Spotify already but gotta put in that RUclips work to make sure its not a 10 of 10
old aiden is a splitting image of him
I wish he was bald but it was incredible regardless
The mannerisms were perfect too
It took me a second to figure out if it was makeup, AI, or actors because the old Aiden is a perfect match
Literally even sat the same way as Aiden lmao
spitting...
Loved the "10 years from now bit", Older Aiden nailed the mannnerisms
a little more than 10 years

the only one that was "10 years from now" was slime

Yo wtf! You made my childhood! If you don't mind sharing, what were some of the memorable ways players broke the rules for the giveaways?

@@AsuraTheBass Reminds me of Gears of War 1. Knug fu flipping was some of the first tech skill I ever learned lmao
I do feel like a warning about it being banned from them on would probably be better than outright banning when it wasn’t actually breaking the rule.
slime has begun his transformation into will neff
But will is 75% hair
@@Bfire0 That’s only cause Will’s on the fin. If he quits it they’ll meet in the middle.
The entire bit about Connor having a rotation of Swedish slave children whom he forced to play COD for him had me dying, actually gave me hiccups from laughing
the merch trailer was so fucking GOOD lmaooo
Old Ludwin doing the Ludwig laugh is so funny
"I couldn't cry, I was too busy looking down the barrel of the other sniper." LMAOOOOOO
Connor is like a cartoon character that wears the same shirt every episode
little known behind the scenes fact from the directors cut: this is because the japanese do not typically have clothes
Because Connor only lives in japan and isn’t japanese he has resorted to wearing the same clothes as to not culturally appropriate
It's funny cause I'm pretty sure he clowned on anime for having the same clothes all the time on their characters at one point.
He literally bought 50 of those so he’d never need to buy another one 😂
So many Japan haters and racists here smh
"WHERE THE PHARAOHS USED TO LIVE!"
I can't breathe
Sounded like a mummy
Slime sounded so funny this episode
11:30 🤣🤣
slime sounds like someone's uncle who is trying to get up off the couch and he can't get up but he keeps trying
Slime sounds like hes in the process of turning into the goon commander.
the old guys ATE they literally sound like the boys too
Shut up.

yo love your videos man
I came to the comments to see if that was his dad or a relation. He literally looked like Aiden.
BIG DUMPER
I mean y'all talking about sunsetting and shit but i can say the quality of the podcast for me personally is still going strong. Like there's times where i have to stop what I'm doing cause im doubled over laughing at something someone said on the pod.
So true dude
"just like Final Fantasy 8" would be the perfect last frame of the yard.
This man told the exact same COD story as a guest on the same podcast twice
Hopefully he tells it every time he comes on
yeah and we redid the penis chemical burn last week. time for some new blood guests
I didn’t even realize this was a new episode. I watch them in the background. I feel like he told the bonfire one before as well.
Connor getting excited about making fires and doing a little unintentional Charlie Day impression is endearing.
I love how in the intro Slime is just as old as he is now.
"I'm not slow, I just need different learning tools" that one went under the radar but it was very good slime, just thought you should know.
i love when connor is on, i hope they do another trash taste crossover one day. the episode where the yard is at the trash taste studio is one of my favorites, connor and garnt's reactions to everything was priceless
Older Aiden actually seemed exactly like what Aiden will be like in ten years
dropping new merch in the connor ep was smart they know a bunch of people are going to watch lol ALSO those old guys did amazing
every yard episode is a 1/10 in my heart
Real.
Slime's Will Neff impression this whole episode was the best its been!
I love seeing Slime’s transformation into Steve-O
Aimen: "I didn't want to call QT because she would have had a panic attack."
>>>doing some paper napkin calculations
Aiden not being bald is so inaccurate
Fr, immersion broken
He went to turkey, duh
Slime went from the Goon Commander to the Grain commander after the Great Grain War
banter with cdawg this time is so much different to last time love it haha
Slime singing the Godzilla cartoon theme was peak content
Godzuuuuki~
I’m so glad I decided to watch this one randomly. I felt like I was on an acid trip or something. I was, but I felt like it too at the beginning there
Slime talking about the Godzilla cartoon is one of the funniest bits this year
The Yard always has top tier merch promos, but this one was extra top tier
I haven't laughed that hard in a while when the old guys was on screen. Amazing way to market the merch
nice to see slime hasn't aged a day
dude. i don't think you can top that skit. that was gold
Lud should’ve showed up drunk to this too, might’ve said some more funny words like he did on CDawgs stream
he was so goated for that
What did he say?
@@redpandawithbandana5092 funny words
Lot of slurs
Slime in this ep sounds like a construction foreman rippin 2 packs of Marlboro reds a day
1:20:12 the amount of joy slime has here is hilarious
The amount of Sweden mentioned lately is scary as a Swedish viewer
Love the dutch angle on slime/nick cam 🙏
I'm contributing to the back to back 10/10s by being an audio listener
Slime so unhinged even his shot is a Dutch angle
i cant believe they got a british person to podcast with cdawg va
Doing my part to make this a 1/10 😊
Hell yea
For some reason i thought this was you rating the episode
Those Younger versions of the Yard for the merch bit, absolutely slayed their parts.
Bro the old guy bit broke both of my ankles I was not ready
Also Aiden walking up on the dude after basketball and laughing at him is BEAST thats why he's my goat 🐐🐐
dude Aiden’s elderly lookalike is spot on
Back to back give us another one with the Dawg, this one was so good
Slime going “my mother was a smoker… and a fiend” in his joker voice was peak
Slime's voice being fucked up adds a wonderful new vibe to the pod. I'll happy for him when he feels better but sad when it's gone
Unironically slimes best Steve-O impression
Rest In piece Grant Thompson, The King of Random. I hope you're happy Paramotoring in the stars....
and also good episode, ig
Aiden good job Mogging that kid in basketball. You honored this country. 🇺🇸
The ad was fire, every idea has been so cool

Slimes new will neff impression is great
this is by far the funniest merch announcement yet
I DESPERATELY NEED THAT SLIME SHIRT I NEED DAD ON A TSHIRT
This is a moment before disaster with it being recorded before the Drunkwig stream
Why haven't I heard about this
@@ianhandsup they basically did the Doug Doug challenge but with drinks on Connors stream and Ludwig got belligerently drunk

24:50 just slowly setting in was priceless. Torbjorn type beat.
the old aiden saying "we were fishing?" is SPOT ON aimen gamen
I’m so glad will neff is on this ep
I totally forgot today is Thursday! This is awesome and made my day.

Stunning merch plug.
Funny thing is my best friends sister won the Jeep up here in Canada and still drives it today.
so nice of David hayter to join the pod this week!
I would love too see a yard special so much man
Bro watching this after trash taste is mind-blowing. Why is it so chaotic, why are they all talking at once 😭
this is the first time I ever watched the yard because i just recently watch every connor vids and somehow have this assumption that podcast is boring. turned out it's absolutely not, especially with entertaining host and guest and topics like this one! lol. i'd listen other chapters definitely :D
Lovely pod fellas
Did not expect Slime of all people to bring up Godzuki in this or any version of the multiverse.
if only old nick said "million dollar idea... what if we just did a regular shirt"
- What did you with the animals in the backyard?
- Anyway... Let's not get off the topic of big ass fires!
Slime and Nicks camera being on a dutch angle fits so well
I don't think I have ever skipped an ad done by the yard boys, they are so damn entertaining 😂
Big Auction on Friday! :D nice episode
My favorite segment of the pod is aiden's storytime.
Completely unrelated to the episode the newest episode of critical roll they have a guest right now called nick playing a character named Ayden who looks and sounds like both of them combined
fuckk the dark green jacket looks so good
Slime saying "Scheduling sex... With aiden?" @ 1:06:11 Had me crying laughing
It’s great watching a really funny podcast and it’s even better when they make high class skits to sell fire merch.
I almost got fired from my job from yelling after Lud drops trou to show off the sun tan
Can't believe Nick gets all his tattoos lasered off!
Also, love the new avant-garde camera angle for the slime and nick cam. It really shines when slime is yelling; it makes everything feel real unsettled and off balance.
51:00 Aged like fine wine!
Aimen is right. As long as Ludwig rides a vespa he's allowed to fuss and worry!
might be the best ad yet for merch, keep it up boys!
Aidens basketball story is so sick. Thats such a cold line.
