Ludwig is my role model
Same
yo whats good levy
LEVY
Levy ur my role model
chess gamer hi levy
I’m impressed Ludwig managed to break into the WIRED studio and film this entire video in secret by himself
hahaahhaahah
Ludwig would never do that. That's his look alike Mogul Money pretending to be Ludwig, to tarnish his reputation
Nah he has his clone Mogul Mail helping him
mustve installed bidets in all their toilets too!
Same bro
really getting some bottom of the barrel "celebrities"....
hi
how many times did you google "ludwig dance" in order to have it pop up as one of these q's lol
my juicer owns you
rip the gotham pin
they should’ve gotten mogul mail he’s way more famous.
he's just really down to earth. his humor is really self aware and he doesn't think highly of himself, and that's why people like him. he's also just hilarious
another thing about ludwig is he does not forget his roots, he played smash and always brings up smash once in a while or even vouches for smash in his events, like that chessboxing event. he also doesnt forget his friends. on the other hand theres mizkif who always forgets his roots.
the thing i really like about him is that he's confident enough to make fun of himself, there are too many people who just get to themselves and Ludwig isn't like that.
ngl i never saw myself liking him as much i do, he truly deserves all the success he has
same, it took me forever to actually give him a chance but once i did i was pleasantly surprised
@@TheElusiveReality idk why i grouped him in with the dream type of youtubers like tommy, karl, quackity, etc. i just assumed he was that type of gaming youtuber
so i didnt give him a chance for a while but oh lord i’ve been sleeping HARD he’s great i’m glad i was wrong
niggle is a bad word
Honestly my favorite part of this interview is he never quickly dismissed a question, even the ridiculous ones. Always come up with an anecdote or some funny comments
Right! Ludwig is the real thing.
Literally
thats just what all of twitch chat is so he has practice
"funny"
@My achilles heel very true
This felt way more human than most celebrity interviews I loved it
Probably because actors are media trained to hide their real personality so they can maintain their movie imagine.
Ludwig is one of the most famous streamers and you need a alluring personality to be famous in that world
@@TheDomino12121 Streamer? havent stream at all, he gave up strwaming.
Most famous? meaning the only one u know?
this guy WAS a streamer. Now impossoble to find on stream, and impossible for me to find his YT viudeo enjoeble. HE LOST IT
@@paoloparadiso4786 He streams on YT
@@paoloparadiso4786 Please, just use spell check
@@paoloparadiso4786 Even your own words disagree with you.
1 minute in and I am already noticing how this guy has more charisma then most of the famous actors that were on this show
Yeah, I mean that's pretty much his entire job. Talk to a live audience for hours on end and make them want to stay.
Actors are known for playing a character. Ludwig is a character (im not saying Ludwig is faking his personality, im saying thats just who he is)
Never heard of him before but he seems cool and I liked how he treated every question with a serious answer. I hate when some guests just laugh off the question or make up a dumb answer.
His content is top notch def check him out
He’s incredibly entertaining and I love it, my jokes in how I present are very similar in how he did it (I did it like that before I watched him), add a little shock and be a bit awkward, he does it so much better tho, I love it
he's insanely funny and charismatic. i discovered him on a youtube video where he was essentially doing improv of a comedy court case and it was highly entertaining. lots of respect to this guy
@@ratboygirl what video was that
@@mitza420 “ludwig sues offline tv”
Dude has so much charisma. Holy crap.
Puts the actors who are usually on this show to shame.
Well his job is talking to and entertaining internet audience so it's no surprise he's better than most actors at the basic youtube video :)
@@the_spade32 an he also does it for hours on end which makes him improve at this way faster than many others
@@the_spade32 I was going to put that in my comment originally, just wasn't sure how to word it.
@@the_spade32 It's mostly because he has to do things live and make stuff up on the spot. He is a streamer more than a youtuber, he just happens to stream on YT.
No, it doesn't. Not even remotely actually.
Some people are just born to be entertainers Ludwig is a prime example of that he is naturally entertaining
Everything hes done feels like it leads here too, ya know? Even the degrees he got, talking and conversation is his skill
And cute♥️
He’s a great storyteller
Natural would be xqc imo
@@AYAYA_JUICER nah xqc is like the bufoon as in the entertainer of the kings, where lud is just born to be the center of attention like a tv host
This just makes me realize how much Ludwig is used to reading stupid comments and answering them in a very entertaining way.
Yeah these questions were just twitch chat but with the IQ raised into the double digits.
It's amazing how much more natural this feels compared to most celebrities, despite nearly all of them being used to being on camera. Really shows the difference between Hollywood and the internet
Yeah but also he has more live screen time in total than any actor. I mean his total screen hours could very well be higher than all of their other guests combined.
I mean the subathon was 720 hours straight of him being live.
They're on camera for completely different reasons though. Like a live-show host would also be better at being in front of camera for this type of stuff than an hollywood actor. They all involve cameras but they are completely different jobs.
@@ironized It's less about screentime and more about him actually having to interact with his audience on a daily basis
Jokes aside, watching Ludwig's progress to the top of the streamer ladder has been insane and well deserved. One of the best content creators out there right now.
It's because he's dating THE BEST lol
@@macstar95 🤡
at the beginning of among us Toast was like Ludwig is gonna be big
"One of the best content creators"
Really? What has he done?
@@macstar95 his gf isn't even in the top 35 in earnings
So proud of Ludwig for figuring out the password to the Wired login so he could interview himself!😊
That's a thoroughly honest guy, good for him.
What I particularly love is how Ludwig always feels super real. He's not afraid to admit that he has bad days, he's not always perfect, and he's made some questionable decisions in his life - and he'll be the first to tell you that he's an online creator, so what you see is a narrow snippet of his life that he's intending for you to see.
ludwig turned super fake tho
@@mamba_skillz1474 while I kinda agree he’s also a theater kid. If you don’t think he’d act out a bit for content then idk what you were expecting 😂
@@alexbush3624 right? It’s kinda his job to put on an image, it’s no faker than an actor would be to be likable to an audience
I like moistcritikal as well for the reason
@@mamba_skillz1474 wym he turned fake?
This is one of my favorites. He legitimately seems like a great guy and is super honest, whereas on many of these I can hear the publicists talking through the careful/sanitized celebrities.
@Alexander and all of his mogul mail videos are so unbiased and are very straight to the point. All one take too. Pretty sick
Yeah but he'd be nothing if QT wasn't around to make Ludwig
@@bknighty28 same goes to qt, they both helped each other a lot and both would not have been here without each other.
@@shouryavashisth3461 It's just a current meme, friend. They're both great creators and I'm just laughing along with the clip of QT and her dad reacting to Twitch unban requests.
@@jonah.mcminn they call him the One Take Jake
Ludwig: "Im not a weeb"
Also Ludwig: casually wears and takes pride on his Princess Mononoke jacket
Also Ludwig: watches 1,020 episodes of One Piece to "understand the cultural impact on the youth"
One of the few guys in the streaming world where I can genuinely say he deserves all of it! As a member of the smash scene I can also say, he never forgot his roots and is a gift to the community.
Ludwig was so happy and hopeful when he asked if he had to do the luddy. He wanted them to say yes so badly.
he said "Do you want me to do it?" with the biggest grin
seriously gave me mr peanut butter vibes a whole personality
I think this interview is a good example of one of the reasons he's such a successful streamer, he's just naturally entertaining.
he behaves so unnatural
You got a crush or something because he didn't do anything but talk to entertain you
@@IT10T yeah so he was entertaining
@@IT10T yeah so he was entertaining
He’s far more honest and he’s trying much harder than the traditional media celebrities on here which is refreshing
Ludwig has such an easy/casual charm. And such an amazing mix of humorous and serious.
I think streamers and content creators are so interesting for interviews like this because they're so modest. Ludwig is like, fully aware he's out of his element in this format, but he just sort of owns it for the content, and that's what makes him one of the best.
I don't agree. Ludwig is the only big streamer I know that is THAT modest and blunt
the majority of big streamers are ego fuelled manchildren
Yup streamers are often in direct contact with their fan base so they’re less out of touch imo
Today is the day I found out that we’ve been dating for 4 years when I didn’t even know him 4 years ago 🤔
first one to reply
Get tricked!
technically 2019 is 4 years ago
💀💀💀
Ludwig is just so naturally entertaining and charismatic, this is definitely one of the best Wires interviews I’ve watched
I like that ending message because it's so true. We idolize them for the roles they play or because we just see them almost everywhere. You'd be surprised to find out that most of what they do on their time not working is just watching TV, hanging with family, playing games, going to a restaurant or fast food, reading a book, etc. Normal people stuff.
Im glad seeing ludwig in a channel that doesn't usually cover streamer personalities, him being the first one is very deserved with the amount of cool stuff hes done
He’s not the first one but I did enjoyed it a lot :)
Ninja and markiplier have one as well
@@MissRiceLynmarkiplier isn’t a streamer he streams sometimes but he mostly uploads videos and ninja was a fortnite player now he plays smth else I forgot
@@shannonadkins6497 ninja is still a streamer though
True, btw kumain ka na?
@@shannonadkins6497 valkyrae was a fortnite player
crazy to see Ludwig get one of these! W
could you put a doja cat filter on your videos
Stay giga my bwas
Tmol?
@tmol this ain’t Omegle
Yoo my guy
i don’t know much about ludwig but i really love how down-to-earth he seems in this video. he has big normal guy vibes and i love that.
The reason i like ludwig SO much, is that hes just a real guy. Like literally he has the most real answers to a lot of things, knows a lot, and wont beat around the bush for things.
Thanks❤❤
@@baazigertv bro its a scam
Really
@@baazigertv yes???????
Really happy to see Ludwig recognized. Solid creator and seems like a genuine guy.
Clueless.
CZcams paid Wired some money to feature him, homie.
@@twiggsherman3641so what? Hanktank45’s comment still stands…
@@twiggsherman3641 whats your point here? Lol
@@erlouwer he's irrelevant. CZcams bought him a slot to try to push him and get attention for their streaming.
i appreciate how genuine Ludwig seems. He’s really trying to change and improve the streaming community. Bro really deserves all he’s accomplished in this industry.
Ludwig varies between 5’11” and 6’4” and it depends entirely on how he does his hair
Great guy, I think Ludwig is a good example of what *real* confidence looks like. And it’s contagious too!
True!
Ludwig's Chessboxing event already happened. It was awesome. I think it's great that he's big enough to do one of these Wired interviews and it's nuts how far he's come. He's super fun and I'm excited for his 2023 events.
He also didn’t mention his coots playing with the twitch logo tattoo so this was clearly filmed awhile ago
@@kezi7728 hes been talking about having done this on stream for about a month or so
Took Wired over a month to edit this video, hahaha. Had this been released the day of the event, his livestream record would have been even higher!
I guess we can expect a surge in the VOD replays for the Mogul Chessboxing Championship now that a bunch of new frogs hears about it for the first time. 😁
A lot of streamers just seem sort of lucky to be where they are. They sit on stream play video games and somehow they have this huge following. Ludwig however is constantly putting time and energy into how he can reinvent the form. He’s always putting on events like Melee tournaments, game shows and chessboxing. He deserves his success and I can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for us.
streamers like ludwig and jerma r so innovative and great with the kinda events they pull off
@@nightmare-eyes QT Cinderella and Ibai deserve to be in that conversation as well. Very creative minds.
Lots view bot and buy followers to get known. Not Ludwig as fast as I'm aware. But there is a lot of top streamers that do
@@sturfurx508 That is not nearly as common as you think it is or make it out to be.
I can see xqc in your first two sentences
I have always adored these interviews, and the fact we got our boy Ludwig on here now is just INSANE. Grats man! Can't believe you didn't wear crocs though.
This interview shows why I like Ludwig so much. How funny he is, how lighthearted he makes everything, how he interacts with the crew, amazing.
I think the reason Ludwig is so successful is because he's very relatable and really makes you think you're his friend
But remember, we are not his friends =(
Just remember what he said, never trust a streamer. Also he's not our friend.
@@PolarBear_ed We may not be his friends, but I think the appreciation is mutual.
Look how he tries to relate / connect with the people that are asking themselves this question. It's a natural talent.
and a great Story Teller.
It's kind of amazing just how real you feel this is. Sometimes you'll watch two actors and it'll feel like they're acting. But I guess he streams so much that he can't be anyone other than himself and that makes this video so much more informative
Tru dat
Also, he's way more experienced in reading and answering questions to a camera. It's 50% of the job and he's good at it.
I don't follow his content but I really enjoyed this interview. Very down to earth, honest and entertaining answers
The answer to "Is Ludwig a good person?" Is exactly why he is a good person.
I feel like you missed the point then. You don’t know him…
Watching Ludwig's evolution has been crazy, He deserves every bit of success
Right! I remember when he was relatively small. And blonde... for the first time.
Finally, these questions have been burning a hole in my chest all this time, I was in danger of becoming another ludwig
It wouldn't be as bad if we were like another Mogul Mail, but I would never want to become like Ludwig
HAHAHAHAH
Chussy
💀
I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE
That is crazy, I have never heard of this guy, but he seems very funny and honest, I like him
I like how honest he is, it's good he's honest with his fans
I’m glad he honestly explains that A LOT of success with this area is TIME & LUCK. I knew a guy who tried to do streaming. Said it was “easy.” Streamed 4 times a week, moved back in with his parents to save up for equipment and stuff. He quit after 6 months or so.
You should watch Ludwigs video where he creates a new yt chanel to prove its not just luck.
@@amer1693that was about being a CZcamsr, op is talking about streaming…
@@maz1866 Also I don't know if he maintains that idea that "90% is skill" or whatever Mr Beast said today but the point of the video is more about how you should market and be active in increasing the likelihood of that luck instead of just posting something and waiting for random chance.
@@amer1693 He literally spent 600 dollars and leaked it early on his pod lol.
@@KaityKay he recorded the stats before the pod got released. Make your own opinions
“I’m not a weeb” - Ludwig while wearing a Princess Mononoke bomber jacket
It's a dope jacket though
@@hillbillysamurai dope is an uderstatement imo. Seems like the only weeb jacket you wouldnt be embarassed to wear in public.
His girlfriend got it for him...def not a weeb /s
This is such a legendary video, his energy and personality is so admirable
"I'm better than like a thousand people in the world" is the opposite of what he meant to say and that's hilarious
DO THE LUDDY
SPEEDRUN THE COMMENTS
Speedrun
HE DID THE LUDDY
Ludwig: “I stream for about four hours”
Also Ludwig: “I can only be funny for about an hour”
Also Ludwig: *is correct*
Honestly, I really like that fact that he actually answers all of the reactions legitimately, not avoiding them weirdly
What did I learn with this interview?
He has cultured parents
Mom is a language teacher = More reading since birth = More Knowledge with words = More ease with communicating words, add charisma into that you have a good way to be a streamer
He himself has 2 degrees that add on into his field perfectly
He humbled saying that be famous is being lucky, I agree that you need a certain amount of it to be seeing by the masses but what he is and what he built to be blessed by luck is all on him.
Everything he does and accomplished is well deserved because it shows how hard he worked.
"Bottom of the barrel these days huh? It was Ryan Reynolds not too long ago..." That's exactly what I thought lool. Glad to see Lud here.
Don't you talk about the Green Lantern that way! 😖
Seeing ludwig do the luddy in complete silence cracked me up more than it should have
The deafening silence of the room combined with the friction of the luddy is horrifying
I had never watched Ludwig before but this interview made me want to tune into his streams! He seems naturally entertaining and fun to watch.
He’s honestly very fun to watch and seems like a genuine dude who puts his money into making his communities better for the little guys. I’d say the Mogul Mail yt channel is a good entry point into watching Ludwig if you aren’t usually into watching streamers, since his videos there are like 8-15 mins. His main CZcams channel also has edited versions of some of his streaming challenges and events (in additions to uploads of full streams). I am pretty bad at consistently tuning into streams, so Mogul Mail is where I get most of my Ludwig fix.
Do mogul mail next
this was genuinely a great surprise to see lud on wired
Ayeeee i was waiting for this comment
This is gonna go straight to his head. Gonna be even later than normal for the next stream
i love when people are straightforward and honest.
Love to see you blowing up like this and achieving so many great projects. You deserve it man, one of the most genuine, talented, and down-to-Earth streamers... people out there.
This was weirdly the most down-to-earth wired autocomplete in a while
Ludwig is fascinating, very sincere. I love the little slightly awkward face he made every time he gave thumbs up directly into the camera :[
I highly respect Ludwig for addressing the problem of content creators creating idyllic images of themselves.
Ludwig is such a MOGUL! He thrives in any situation you put him in! He’s soo talented!!! Love his sense of humour MY COMFORT STREAMER!!!
i love how real ludwig is. he doesn’t bs his viewers!
Sure! Yep! Absolutely! Uh-huh!
Such a hard working down-to-earth guy who has brought so many amazing events to the streaming space. It's been so awesome watching Lud and his community grow over the years.
LUL sad
Ludwig is truly one of the guys of all time
Bro, most sane and best interview ever, big W lud, you did it
Ludwig is so charismatic, love watching him
What a lovely surprise to see Ludwig on here! Thanks for bringing him on and letting him shine :)
I don't know I would have preferred Mogul Mail, much better imo…
i'm so proud of lud for getting one of these
Legit actually answered everything in depth and gave it's time properly
loved it
"I'm not a weeb" he proclaims, wearing his Princess Mononoke jacket, trip to Japan booked, having watched the entirety of One Piece while stroking his collection of Nami figurines
I love how comfortable and natural this feels - deffo one of the reason I enjoy Lud’s content sm
Fluid is the best way to describe this person, words just flow in his mouth and he makes sentences with it
Man I love Ludwig so much, man is fr the king of entertainment
this genuinely feels really well... genuine, as suppose to most celebrities doing this.
Probably also because talking to and connecting through a camera is pretty much his thing :p
"as opposed to" but yes, he didn't fake the funk lol
@@omgvague You got me, not my first language I just type what I think I hear
Its like an error in the Matrix! I'm a regular viewer of both WIRED and my favorite streamer Ludwig, didn't expect to see both in one place. Great interview and another Ludwig W!
first video i ever watched of lud’s was his mario party mashing record, absolutely insane to see how far he’s come.
What a great episode. Honestly I watch Lud because hes just one of the boys and is humble AF also is sometimes kind of funny lol
I wouldn't never imagine Ludwig on WIRED. I remember watching him with 200 subs on Twitch, he was a small personality in Melee scene, glad where he is now, happy for him
There's a nine-year age gap between my brother and me. I just found out during Christmas that he knows about Ludwig and used to watch him. Ludwig is one of the few things I can bond over with my brother!
That’s awesome
Awesome to see lud on here much deserved
Best Wired episode of all time. Never thought it would be.
Ludwig: I’m not an anime guy, definitely not a weeb
Also Ludwig: check out my Princess Mononoke jacket
I thought this was a parody video but Ludwig really is on Wired. Huge W!! He’s an awesome entertainer
Ludwig got more views than Jason Momoa and other celebs lmao. W for Mogul fans!
i didnt expect him to answer these questions as seriously as he did so im pleasantly surprised. especially the net worth one lol
wow im so happy ludwig finally got a wired interview he is so funny, entertaining, humble, handsome, amazing, so good at everything that he really deserved this interview because of how hard he worked for it.

Ludwig's chess boxing event was the best event of the year, Highly entertaining
I love Lud , but creator clash was better .

Just wanna rock started playing on spotify right as the question about the luddy came up
i love when ludwig said "its luddy time" and luddied all over the crew, best youtube video ever
Truly one of the videos of all time
