i would just like a decent doughnut, im stuck in the southern united states, these people dont know what good ones are, all of them are those krispy crap (krispy kream) ones that or layer with too much glaze
This was the best FN in a while, I absolutely lost it when Kathleen turned Cam’s phone sideways! Still can’t believe it’s been a year since The Exile Zone came out.
On the one hand I am glad the Simic slaw finally obtained sapience, on the other hand now I have to wait to see the Gib Vs. Slaw match that has to take place.

The simic slaw has really evolved over the years. It first started as a store bought salad with a squid on top, and now it's a kimchi, bok choy, enoki mushroom salad with a squid on top.
Simic slaw is a repeating joke from back around Return to Ravnica, I think. They made themed snacks and nobody wanted to eat the slaw with "lots of things." It's been haunting the back of the fridge for years.
Adam's delivery of "Hey! Can we focus up? My boy has been taken over by a *salad*!" is a work of actual comedic genius. I died watching that scene, and I'm not apologising to my office colleagues for the excessive amount of choking laughter.
This episode is fantastic. The pacing, comedic timing, acting, and script are all fantastic. Every joke made me laugh or at least chuckle, and the delivery on the lines is naturalistic and amusing. Well done LRR.
biggerdoofus No, it was from Friday Nights, specifically the Zendikar Murder Mystery Episode. Graham reuses the Simic Slaw, several years after the fact because “It’s still good and I wanted to get rid of it before it starts to smell” to which Cam replied “And see, and hear, and demand legal representation?”
I just have to say, this might be my favourite Friday Nights EVER. And I’ve seen them all. Everyone’s performance was great, but Ben genuinely had me feeling queazy. Amazing job to the whole LRR crew!
Oko is the new Teferi, hero of Dominaria. No one needed it and it makes the meta lack in diversity. It straight up controls the meta, after field of the dead got banned.
I like how Cam and Kathleen are so in synch that they don't even need to talk to setup the Tim Horton's trap. That's telepathy-levels of coordination there!
Aight, so just because I'm a nerd who likes to overanalyse things and because I personally got confused by all the Magic lingo the first time I watched this, so I tried to figure out why Ben-Slaw got so tilted by everyone's plays and list them here for any newcomers who don't know that much about Throne of Eldraine Standard/Modern/Legacy. 6:32 - "Chumping" is Magic slang for blocking your opponent's attacking creature with a creature that can't kill the attacker or survive the attack; for example, blocking a 2/2 Bear with a 1/1 Soldier token. Because this leaves you down a creature and your opponent's board is unchanged, you only want to do this if your life total is really low or you're trying to save your planeswalker, and certainly not when you're at 26 life. 6:37 - Monoed in 1v1 is basically *the* color of low cost creatures and spells, so just playing a Mountain and not doing anything means that either you have a trick up your sleeve, or you just didn't draw into your weenies/shocks. 6:40 - Managorger Hydra is a creature that gets a +1/+1 counter each time your opponent casts a spell, so if you're casting a spell while it's on board, you better make it count. Vendilion Clique is a 3/1 creature with flash (meaning you can cast it anytime) which has the ability to "look at target player's hand. You may choose a nonland card from it. If you do, that player reveals the chosen card, puts it on the bottom of his or her library, then draws a card." It's main job is to either replace a useless card in your own hand with a new card from your deck, or more commonly to look at your opponent's hand and get rid of a combo piece/threat in theirs. Adam did neither and didn't use the Clique to block the attacker and kill it, so effectively all he did was pump the Managorger by 1 and take an extra damage. And even worse, since Vendilion Clique has flash, he could have cast it before the Hydra even entered the battlefield, thus not making it any stronger. 6:51 - Another Mountain and pass by Cam, meaning he basically just gave Ben-Slaw a free extra turn. 6:54 - We already covered what chumping means, and the goose in question is a Gilded Goose, a 0/2 bird that's a value engine for Food decks since it can tap for 1 and a green to make a food token every turn. Chumping with a token is one thing, chumping with one of the best cards in your deck that you absolutely don't want to die is another. Plus, Kathleen didn't even use it's ability before she blocked with the Goose, meaning she didn't even get any value out of chumping with it aside from a couple extra saved life points. 7:00 - Aaaaaan that's another free turn for Ben. Cam is basically a dead man walking at this point. 7:02 - Goblin Guide is a 1 mana 2/2 with Haste and is a cornerstone of red aggro in Modern. You *really* want t.o attack with him the turn he comes out, which Adam failed to do. Unless your opponent can just kill it, but from Ben'-Slaw's reaction I'm guessing that's not the case 7:07 - Oh god, Oko. Oko is a planeswalker that was so good in Standard that he was banned just a few months after he was released, and started seeing bans in Modern and Legacy as well. What made him so strong is that he had a +1 ability that read "Destroy any artifact or creature; give your opponent a 3/3 elk." Which *sounds* fair, but because Oko didn't lose any loyalty he could do this over and over again, meaning all your opponents' Great Henges, Bonecrusher Giants, Embercleaves and Beanstalk Giants all got turned into puny 3/3s. Add to the fact that as long as you had a couple blockers on hand and the lack of planeswalker kill spells meant that unless your opponent had a bunch of Shocks in hand, Oko was sticking around. Plus, even if you didn't want to give your opponent an Elk, you could +2 him to get a Food token. Remember how I said you don't want to kill your value engines when talking about Goose? Oko is Goose on steroids, and you absolutely don't want him dying, and there's no reason not to activate at least one of his abilities each turn. Kathleen, however, passed while Oko did nothing and was on 2 loyalty, basically meaning a light breeze could kill him. Very bad decision. 7:12 - Good god Cameron start playing something, *anything.* 7:14 - Matches of Magic are best 2 out of 3, meaning after the first game your opponent basically knew your entire strategy. That's what the sideboard is for, up to 15 extra cards you can replace cards from your deck with to counter what your opponent was planning. Sideboard cards usually are cards that have very niche uses that you don't necessarily want to put in your starting deck, but might help answer something your opponent is doing. Not doing it basically tells your opponent, "I don't care about what special weapons you've put in your deck specifically to kill me, I can take it." Which usually just ends up with you getting slaughtered in game 2 against a player who knows what they're doing. 7:18 - *How are you not dead yet.* 7:23 - Hellbent is a fancy Magic term that means you have no cards in hand, which is generally something you don't want to happen. Faithless Looting is a one mana red spell that says "Draw 2, then discard 2 cards from your hand." While it looks like a bad effect, with a decent sized hand you're basically able to draw 2 cards for 1 mana, at the cost of discarding 2 things you probably don't care about (and you might even want to end up in your graveyard.) That and the fact that you could recast it from your graveyard made it incredibly strong; so strong it eventually got banned from Modern. Faithless Looting is genuinely a really, *really* good card...that you don't want to cast while you have 0 cards in hand, because you just end up drawing 2, then discarding those 2 cards you just drew, leaving you exactly where you started. 7:35 and 7:37 - Somehow, Cam isn't dead yet, and he's finally ready to cast something with 6 mountains. If he's been waiting this long to cast it, it must be something so good it wins him the game, right? Well...it's *nostalgic,* certainly, since it was one of the first creatures ever printed in the game, but Shivan Dragon ain't no gamewinner. (At least nowadays; back when people unironically played Grey Ogre since it was a 3 mana 2/2 and one of the best creatures at the time, a 6 mana 5/5 flyer seemed super OP.) Sure, it's barely decent at 5/5 with flying and the ability to get +1/+0 for a single red repeatably, but considering this is the first spell Cam has played this entire game, he's not going to live long enough to use it. 7:42 - Always. Kill. T3feri. Specifically, Kathleen is talking about Teferi, Time Raveler, a 3 mana planeswalker that stopped you from casting things at instant speed let your opponent bounce something you control back to your hand *and* drawing a card. While he's no Oko, back during Throne of Eldraine Standard he was still a kill on sight threat, and letting a T3feri live basically meant giving the entire board to your opponent. Now that I've actually typed all of this salt out, I'm getting a bit filled with sodium chloride myself. Brb, I have to crush some people in Modern with Monored Aggro to desalinate myself.
Hello, I have been very fond of the LoadingReadyRun shenanigans, escapades and the bear force 1, and over the years have come to see the true value of not just cats in magic but friendship, the real bond in battle. There is a really bright horizon, full of modern things so lets not let time just spiral away, it would be nice to see more from you guys, like road quest but Magic based! Could be Road Quest to find Richard Garfield, only to be thwarted at each turn by the commander players nemesis, Rosewater, the water is sweet when drafted, but the thorn stings when you try to command it. Seriously, now the week just has monday, tuesday, wednesday, thursday, saturday and sunday....
It feels like Friday nights has changed a lot. Not for better or for worse, just different. I compare this episode to those like GP bound and the mood feels like entirely different series.
I like to believe that when we finally get the new season of FN that the bucket of Scimic Slaw will still be jamming games in the streaming office 3 years later. No need to explicitly make reference to it or comment on it. Just have the bucket and wires hooked up to the PC visible in the background of one of the shots. Maybe put a crown or other silly hat on the bucket, which will also make it so you don't need to show (and thereby make) actual slaw every appearance.
Ben, you are the purest boy. Also, nice shirt. I don’t know much about the band personally, but they just had a concert here (in Newfoundland) and a friend of mine who /is/ super into them went. He was ecstatic
"What are you two melons talking about?!" HAH! Also, thank you for finally letting me see my name on the supporter board. LRL opening is always on the other end.

So the Simic slaw has ascended from running gag to actual character?
Not unlike Ian.
@@alsuarez47 I could see the Simic Slaw and Oko getting into a fight over who is BLue/Green Troll supreme.
my first thought
If you leave any organic material in the moon base fridge for 7 years... it's gonna gain sentience.
What was once a themed snack has become a main antagonist.
Cameron: Mountain.
Not sure why, but that made me laugh louder than anything else.

Why? Cam used to regularly be Izzet instead of mono-blue.

"Who's your favourite Friday Nights character?"
"Lots of things!"
"... Don't you mean 'lots of people'?"
"Nope."
Kathleen De Vere
This was the best FN in a while, I absolutely lost it when Kathleen turned Cam’s phone sideways! Still can’t believe it’s been a year since The Exile Zone came out.
It's been A YEAR‽
That was my favourite gag too, just dropped the tension straight to zero
Me too! And when Cam nodded in response.
What was the deal with that?
"Mountain, go!" God, that was hurting my soul.
Flic Shots “second main Goblin Guide” hurts more.
"Mountain, go." was great and all, but then the eventual "Mountain, Shivan Dragon." was the absolute perfect cherry on top.
"Mountain, go!" is something I do regularly on turn 1, because i'm holding up shock
Adam: "What's for lunch, Ben?"
Ben: "Lots of things!"
Me: "Oooooooh!"
LokNWykLeer yeah that tipped me off.
On the one hand I am glad the Simic slaw finally obtained sapience, on the other hand now I have to wait to see the Gib Vs. Slaw match that has to take place.
"I'm comfortable with that lie" Cam gets the best lines
Yupp xD
Also the
"What's wrong with you?"
"I could compile a list."
oh my god this was hillarious. especially the missplay part (and even more especially when cameron cast shivan dragon)
Metalisha He said “Mountain” & I absolutely lost it
It gets even better when you realize he waited until he had played his 7th land to cast the shivan dragon.
Forever legal, never used
So sad
BEN WAS PLAYING SIMIC FOOD, AHHHHHHHH, THE JOKES ARE TOO SUBTLE FOR MEEEEEEE
You could say, Simic Food was playing ben
@@ravensshade its basically just oko
There's just something about the way Cam says "themed snack."
"What's your life total again?" is actually terrifying considering the context.
Changing Ben's shirt to from red/black plaid to blue/green plaid for this episode was perfect.
“You ignore it until the waiter takes it away” was my favorite joke of the episode.
Cam replying "I could compile a list" to "what is wrong with you?" is up there, though.
"Cameron, we're canadians, what are we supposed to do?!"
“No! Cameron, what’s wrong with you?”
“I’ve compiled a list.”
Literally the same kind of response I’ve given people who ask me that.
I play blue
I play control
I play mill

Kathleen tilting Cam’s phone to landscape while he was recording was such an under the radar joke.

When they ban it, we need an episode of everyone doing goofy fun formats with the slaw to cheer it up.

It already is
It better be

6:32 - "Chumping" is Magic slang for blocking your opponent's attacking creature with a creature that can't kill the attacker or survive the attack; for example, blocking a 2/2 Bear with a 1/1 Soldier token. Because this leaves you down a creature and your opponent's board is unchanged, you only want to do this if your life total is really low or you're trying to save your planeswalker, and certainly not when you're at 26 life.
6:37 - Monoed in 1v1 is basically *the* color of low cost creatures and spells, so just playing a Mountain and not doing anything means that either you have a trick up your sleeve, or you just didn't draw into your weenies/shocks.
6:40 - Managorger Hydra is a creature that gets a +1/+1 counter each time your opponent casts a spell, so if you're casting a spell while it's on board, you better make it count.

And even worse, since Vendilion Clique has flash, he could have cast it before the Hydra even entered the battlefield, thus not making it any stronger.

What made him so strong is that he had a +1 ability that read "Destroy any artifact or creature; give your opponent a 3/3 elk."

@@hazelcalderbank1556 Cam is the Dimir player and hates red. His cards only suck subjectively.
Red is usually fast. You should not spend several turns not casting as red despire having land.
@@hazelcalderbank1556 The implication is Cam played Mountain, Mountain, Mountain, Mountain, Mountain, Mountain, Shivan Dragon.
@@hazelcalderbank1556 Also because in the current meta mono red is a particularly poor choice.
I was in stitches from the Card Intro Jokes, I think this is your funniest episode yet!
This is one of my favorites. Cameron's lines had me rolling for most of this!
It's hilarious that Adam had to crouch to get into frame with Cam and Kathleen.
"I'm comfortable with that lie" 😂😂 I SO want to use that one day.
PLEEEEEEASE BRING THESE BACK
Really can't wait for these to come back.
I just realized graham is building the slaw extractor in the background during the desalination discussion.
The lighting and audio for this episode was on point.
"mono red isn't in the meta"

Get it because the meta is literally oko
so far one of the best ones. lol always pregame watching these.
Why is Adam's card consistently so playable? Jam that right into my UG canlander list.
Holy crap, that was amazing! You all hit it out of the park.
I love the meta bits of this so much.
The scariest thing here is by far how he’s playing without any sleeves.
Oh no... the Okos.... the money!
Ok but I really want a card that creates leftovers tokens now
Ben is such a generous soul.
I especially enjoyed that this title is reminiscent of a Crapshot.
Ben looks genuinely unwell while he was getting tilted out, good job
Hooray for the 70s/80s tupperware tan jug! Always takes me back to childhood.
I've definitely played against a pile of disgusting forgotten scraps on arena before. In fact a lot.
4:40-4:47 and the Sub-Optimal Commander Game made me chuckle quite a bit :D
This is my favorite episode in a while. It is like Alex's stream meets the simic slaw joke, but its perfectly timed bc loko oko
The Squad cards have gotten Spicier. Some even literally.
I like to believe that when we finally get the new season of FN that the bucket of Scimic Slaw will still be jamming games in the streaming office 3 years later. No need to explicitly make reference to it or comment on it. Just have the bucket and wires hooked up to the PC visible in the background of one of the shots. Maybe put a crown or other silly hat on the bucket, which will also make it so you don't need to show (and thereby make) actual slaw every appearance.
I was half expecting the Simic Slaw to be made of 3/3 Elk tokens with a squid on top when Ben puked it out
Love the new cards. Especially James's 🤣🤣🤣
Oh my god. Simic Slaw. Some legends never die I guess.
Ben, you are the purest boy. Also, nice shirt. I don’t know much about the band personally, but they just had a concert here (in Newfoundland) and a friend of mine who /is/ super into them went. He was ecstatic
"What are you two melons talking about?!" HAH!
Also, thank you for finally letting me see my name on the supporter board. LRL opening is always on the other end.
