Hi, I'm Ludwig.
0:00
I stream sometimes and this is the Wired autofill complete interview.
0:08
Bottom of the barrel these days, huh?
0:08
You guys have like Ryan Reynolds not too long ago.
0:14
What Ludwig, what is the Ludwig subathon?
0:17
Oh, okay, good question.
0:17
Basically, it's a thing that you do as a streamer where every time you sub, it increases the amount of time you stream.
0:24
And I did one that went for a month straight and I was on camera the whole time.
0:28
I got the most subs anyone ever has and made a lot of money that month and that was pretty cool and I will never do that again because that was way too long of my life.
0:39
That's like a percentage point of my life, but it was fun.
0:41
It was fun while I said, what is Ludwig's net worth?
0:42
Getting right into it, are we?
0:46
Do people ever answer honestly?
0:48
Never.
0:48
When you're a big streamer, it's kind of like a basketball player and you get to be signed by a team.
0:54
And YouTube signed me and they gave me millions.
0:56
Thank you, Susan Wojitski.
0:56
And so it's millions now, which is cool, I guess, for me, and I appreciate that.
1:04
Susan, what chair does Ludwig use?
1:08
Wow, people care about this.
1:08
What chair am I using now?
1:11
Like something like your brand.
1:12
It's pretty nice.
1:12
I like it.
1:12
I use, I use it.
1:25
It's the fancy chair brand, Herman Miller Aeron.
1:25
It's like their office chair.
1:25
It's like $1,400.
1:25
It's one of those buy it, use it for the rest of your life items.
1:23
I think gaming chairs are generally a scam based off the branding that they jack up the price, except for PewDiePie's, if he's watching this, in which case, that one's very cool and not a scam.
2:26
What does Ludwig play Pokemon on?
2:26
Okay, I know why this is Googled, and it's because I use allegedly an emulator, and every time people come to my stream and ask me, I say, "Hey, I'm not going to tell you how I'd play this illegally, just Google it."
2:26
But why were you Googling, "What does Ludwig play Pokemon on?"
2:26
Just Google how to play Pokemon on an emulator and you'll get, you'll get there.
2:26
The internet's a wild west, you'll get there.
2:26
What personality type is Ludwig?
2:26
It's four letters, I don't know the exact ones.
2:26
I think I'm E-E-N-T-P or J-E-N-T-G-E-N-T-P-J, I think.
2:26
What to say to Ludwig?
2:32
You know, when people ask me for pictures for a period, I thought I would have a code.
2:32
And if they gave me the code, I would, I would never say no to someone who has a picture, but I would, I would really put 100% effort in, and the code was, "Wow, Ludwig, you're looking awfully hot today.
2:32
Damn, what did you do to that hair?"
2:32
And then you're supposed to say, "A sheesh" at the end.
2:32
Only one person ever said it to me, and it was at Disneyland, and he was incredibly nervous, and I was incredibly uncomfortable.
2:35
So just say, "Hi" and that's good enough.
2:37
That's a good start.
2:41
Dusty back there, all right, great.
2:41
Did Ludwig, what did I do?
2:44
Did Ludwig beat Elden Ring?
2:46
I did.
2:46
I did a stream where I started playing Elden Ring and I didn't end till I beat Elden Ring, and it took me 102 hours, which was a while.
2:51
Twin gargoyles were the hardest part and the most fun part was when I never had to play it again.
2:58
Did Ludwig beat Ninja record?
3:00
I did.
3:00
Suck it, Ninja, sorry, no.
3:00
But I did, I did, it was the most subs, which is kind of an arbitrary metric of success, so it doesn't super matter, but I do have it still and I'm the most sub Twitch streamer, and I'm not a Twitch streamer anymore, so that's, that's fun.
3:13
Did Ludwig play Smash?
3:13
I did.
3:13
I was a competitive Super Smash Brothers Melee player, which is different than the new one.
3:20
People think because I played Smash, I'm good at the new one, I'm dog, I'm bad.
3:24
And so if you want to take on my Donkey Kong in Ultimate, you'll probably win, so don't expect too much.
3:36
But for the GameCube one, I'm better than, I'm better than like a thousand people in the world, but a thousand people are better than me, so I'm like a thousand one.
4:04
Did Ludwig graduate college?
4:10
Yes, I went to Harvard of the Southwest, Arizona State University, and I got two degrees, one in journalism and mass communications, and the other in English literature.
4:10
But I'll be honest, the English literature one is kind of fraudulent.
4:10
I mostly sparked out of my way through, but I still got it.
4:10
Don't take it back.
4:10
Thank you.
4:10
Did Ludwig retire?
4:10
No, no, I, I think you just stopped watching.
4:10
I'm here.
4:10
I'm here still.
4:10
Hope you're having a good day.
4:10
Oh, oh, when Ludwig, when did Ludwig leave Twitch?
4:10
December 1st, 2021.
4:10
I think the brief answer is that YouTube seemed to care more about wanting me both in how much they were offering me and how much they were sweet talking me, and the students we talked my ear off enough that, that I switched over.
4:10
When did Ludwig start streaming?
4:10
May 16th, 2017 was the first day that I started part-time streaming and I played Mario Party 2 Adventure Mode, it was pretty fun, and I got the world record in that video game, and now I do a lot of different things.
4:10
When does Ludwig stream on YouTube?
4:10
Not, not that frequently.
4:40
Okay, I'm kind of bad at maintaining a schedule and YouTube doesn't have a hub where streams stay, so it's, it's a little bit irregular, but I try to stream like five days a week, about four hours each time I stream.
4:55
Just maybe go to the channel and and roll the dice, maybe I'll be live.
4:57
When is Ludwig's merch coming out?
5:05
I do it in drops, so the next one will come out at my, my next event, which is a chess boxing event where I'm going to have people chess and then fight each other with their fists, and they all either win by checkmate or knocking out their opponent, and I'll release clothing then if that excites you.
5:05
Is Ludwig, is Ludwig part of Mr.
5:05
Beast?
5:05
You would think because I've done like three Mr.
5:05
Beast videos, but no, I am just his, I'm his backup.
5:08
I'm his sloppy seconds and when one of their members is sick, he calls me up the day before and usually I'm not doing jack, so I fly on over to North Carolina to film something with Mr.
5:38
Beast, but not technically part of Mr.
5:41
BEAST's crew.
5:41
I don't think I could to be honest, it's really stressful.
5:43
They film like 20 hours and I'm not that funny for 20 hours.
5:47
One hour maybe, 20, no.
5:47
Is Ludwig CEO of Twitch?
5:51
Wow, where did you get lost?
5:56
No, no, it is funny that you asked that because the CEO of Twitch is kind of hard to find, but his name's Emmett Shear, but maybe no, not even maybe one day, no, that just that's not me.
6:04
I'm not.
6:04
Is Ludwig a chess grandmaster?
6:04
I wish, I wish I was a chess grandmaster requires a life of dedication and about like a 2600 rating and I have a 1200 rating, so a little bit far off.
6:04
But I did convince the people at chess.com to give me the title for one day, so for one day, I was technically a grandmaster on chess.com.
6:04
Is Ludwig a good person?
6:04
You know what, it's all relative and also the only time you'll see me is when I'm trying to be my best person possible because I would never upload me when I'm being a bad person or at least when I think I'm being a bad person.
6:04
So you would have to make the judgment call, but end of the day, anyone you see online, you'll never truly know if you're a good person, so you know, I was thinking with a grain of salt.
6:04
I try my best though.
6:04
Is Ludwig related to Beethoven?
6:04
I have no relation to Mr. Beef Oven.
6:04
My parents are simply from Europe and enjoyed his music enough that they called me Ludwig at birth and then I bastardized it when I was a small American child and called myself Ludwig, which is not technically how you pronounce it, but no, no relation light.
7:15
All right, oh, how do Ludwig get famous?
7:17
You know what, getting famous is, is a lot of luck.
7:20
What it requires is for you to have all the things set up necessary for when the luck strikes to be able to capitalize on it.
7:29
I streamed for about three years and then there's something called COVID that happened and the website that I streamed on called Twitch tripled in size and so I also tripled in size and then the ball kind of keeps rolling.
7:41
It's, I'll be honest, the rich get richer and that also applies to streaming in YouTube, so that's kind of how I got famous in a nutshell.
7:48
How did Ludwig and Cutie Cinderella meet?
7:51
She tried to come to my stream to make fun of me and then I tricked her by having her date me for four years, so joke's on you.
7:59
Nice trick, huh?
8:02
Ludwig, how to be a streamer?
8:02
I think this is just looking up a video that I made, but I did make a video on how to be a streamer.
8:12
I'm going to try to make a new one because I think the game has changed a bit with like TikTok and how that influences live streaming.
8:12
You'll see it all the time, but there's a big TikTok to thing, which is like posting a video and it's like, I'm playing Call of Duty right now, but every time you follow this noise plays, "Bruh."
8:12
And then you go over and they have like 5,000 viewers and they'll promote like a more sustainable live stream website like YouTuber Twitch.
8:12
So I think that's the future.
8:12
It seems like TikTok is where the culture is made and where you have the best chance to thrive as someone without an audience if you just have a good enough idea and can make people uh watch you.
8:12
How many subs has Ludwig gained?
8:12
Tough question because YouTube and Twitch have confusing words, but on Twitch at one point I had 283,000 subs, which was the most all-time, and then on YouTube I'm at like three something million, but you don't have to pay for those subs, they're free.
8:12
I also lost them all.
8:12
I have the record for the most subs lost ever by anyone, the biggest fall off of all time from 283,000 to zero, so it's not all it's cracked up to be.
8:12
How tall is Ludwig from Twitch?
8:12
A lot of week from Twitch, according to the government, is 6'3" because every time I go to the DMV, I add one inch to my height, and I've done that three years running now.
8:12
Before that, I put myself at six feet, but you know, depends on the day, I have 5'11" days like every other guy.
8:12
Does Ludwig, does Ludwig rock climb?
8:10
I quit.
8:30
I used to rock climb, it's like the most fun way to exercise, but every single person I know who rock climbs gets injured inevitably within six to 12 months of doing it, and I don't want to do that because I'm getting old, and so a shoulder injury means six months out of commission.
9:46
So now I just, I work out at a boring gym with boring weights.
9:48
Does Ludwig have a cat?
9:50
I have two cats, but the cat you might be thinking of is Coots, who's a young little kitten who I ought because my girlfriend had been wanting it, and when I say I got it, I mean she bought it, but I took a lot of the credit.
10:06
Does Ludwig have a tattoo?
10:03
I have two tattoos and maybe I can show you, can you see that?
10:06
I'll tell you the story first, when I hit a thousand subs on Twitch, I promised I would get a tattoo of anything my viewers wanted, which was stupid on hindsight, but the memory is still sweet, and my roommate did this to me prison style, stick and poke, took about four hours.
10:21
I almost cried and what it's supposed to be is a sentient cereal bowl with a smiley face and a hovering crown like from the A Fairly Odd Parents.
10:28
What it kind of looks like is a shitty Ramen bowl, but I still like it.
10:34
And then I have another one on my thigh that I won't show you because I pull my pants down, but it has my best friend's name Slime on it.
10:44
Does Ludwig speak Spanish?
10:40
No shot.
10:40
My mother is from Spain and is a Spanish teacher, but I never learned Spanish from her.
10:46
I learned French because she also is a French teacher, so French yes, Spanish no.
10:48
Does Ludwig like anime?
10:51
Many would think that I do, but I only watch anime to understand the cultural impact on the youth who I also have a job of entertaining, and so that's why I've watched 1020 episodes of One Piece and not because I'm a weeb because that that that's not me.
11:07
I'm not a weeb.
11:12
Where does Ludwig live?
11:18
Everyone gets this question and it's always the same answer, we, I can't tell you that.
11:18
I will tell you the police did find out a couple times because they swatted me, but but outside of that, we try to keep it low-key, you know what I mean, Los Angeles, that's the easiest answer.
11:30
Where to find Ludwig now?
11:30
We're getting creepy.
11:34
Fortnite.
11:34
Whoa, that's a mix-up.
11:34
What, this is like AI wrote this.
11:38
I don't know, is this a thing in Fortnite?
11:41
Is Beethoven in Fortnite?
11:43
I could believe that.
11:43
I played Fortnite when it like originally popped off like 2017 and not since, so I really don't know where it's from, but I hope you find me in Fortnite.
11:55
Where does Ludwig get his clothes?
11:56
Almost all of my clothes are either gifts or given to me by sponsors and that's pretty much everything I wear.
12:04
I'm not very fashionable, I tried my best today.
12:06
I'm wearing my Princess Mononoke jacket, which my girlfriend got me from one of the best movies of all time, but yeah, outside of that, I, I'm not a good guy to get clothing tips from.
12:15
I usually wear Crocs.
12:18
Last one, just Ludwig, just Ludwig.
12:18
Is Ludwig vegan?
12:22
I went vegan for six weeks in college because a girl I liked was vegan, and then somebody brought Raising Canes to my house and put it in my fridge, and I don't believe in letting leftovers go to waste, so I, I broke that pretty quick.
12:35
I also don't think I was the best vegan, I just ate peanut butter jelly every day, but counts technically.
12:40
Can Ludwig sing?
12:40
I do have a Christmas album.
12:43
You know, people do say it's like the Mariah Carey of the 2020s, what I uh, singing coach told me is that I don't have a great singing voice, but I sing pretty poorly with a lot of confidence, and so with a bit of pitch correction, it ends up sounding really good because half of singing is blind confidence.
12:58
Was Ludwig a pro gamer?
13:00
Depends who you ask, but I did make some money playing video games, which I think makes me at least a somewhat pro gamer, a semi-pro gamer.
13:15
I made about $60 in my career, so not bad.
13:15
Ludwig, this is a long one, photographic memory.
13:21
No, no, I've, I think I have bad memory.
13:25
No, bad memory, but I'm flattered that you thought I had photographic memory.
13:27
I think it's because I played one chess game blindfolded and I did okay, but that's all I did, I did okay, I did not do that well.
13:34
Ludwig Augrin dance the Luddy.
13:38
It is taking over the internet.
13:38
Do I have to do it?
13:40
All right, here, big smiles.
13:42
Imagine you were on Toddlers and Tiaras and then just got a double pump, defeat, hand goes it.
13:56
I thought it was dumb.
13:56
I've been doing it for three years, but now all of a sudden people are doing it, so I'll take it.
13:56
Try the Luddy at home or not.
13:56
I don't know.
13:56
Here's the thing, I think most people, celebrities, and I'm a very minor celebrity, are just people and they have pretty boring lives and pretty boring answers, but hopefully they satiated your curiosity and I, that's all I want to do.
