Why I hate taking pictures with fans… 

Wolfgang and Ludwig. The classical music duo we never knew we needed.

My girlfriend’s little brother met you at the MHA premiere. He wouldn’t stop talking about it and said you were v nice so thank you for that

Pretty sure the correct response when meeting Lud is more along the lines of "You're looking skinnier. And sexier. No cap, on a stack on god on god."

I'm glad you showed the logan paul example, he just wanted a handout 😭

Ronaldo's pretty spot on imo. I have no clue what team he's on, how good he actually is, nor do I care about professional football; I still know who he is, and his public impact is proof of that.

That last episode of mogul money was the most intense both on the trivia boards and on the quick money. 10/10

I give props to Pewdiepie for saying no to photos now. I think everyone deserves their own privacy.

I met Jacksepticeye at PAX West and I almost didn't believe it was him because of the circumstances. He walked right by me in the main expo hall with one or two people behind him and I did a full stop and turned to get a better look at him. The last person trailing behind him saw the gears turning in my head so she made eye contact with me and nodded. I whispered to her if I could say hi and she said yes so I caught up to him and had a chat. It was a great experience, I talked to him a bit, shook his hand, and took a photo. At the end of the interaction though he made a joke about how he wasn't sure he was really Irish anymore since he moved to England and I was a bit too star struck to react to the joke in time which lead to an awkward pause. Now I think he thinks he ruined his first impression thanks to a joke that completely bombed and at this point I just want to meet him again to clear the air. I'm sure he's totally forgetten about it but my social anxiety makes me think that this small action of mine has left one of my favorite creators haunted for the rest of his life. I'm sorry Jack please forgive me you were perfect and I'm so happy I got to meet you.

So many people forget about autographs. It was the annoyance before pictures became a thing. The complaint has always been fans don't just want to have a conversation, but want an autograph or photograph.

I've never been a huge fan of getting photos with celebrities. I'd rather just tell them "hey man I love your stuff, have a good day" or some shit. Just seems like some fans forget they everyone is just a normal human and how to have a normal conversation, but I suppose that can happen if you get starstruck.

Did Ludwig forget about autographs when he was talking about meeting famous people before handheld cameras and phones lol

Kole absolutely killed it with the editing, fucking love this shit

Lmao Highschool-Ludwig is what we needed

crazy how fast it went from "i didn't throw a drink at your car" to "but you were rude to my son"

My go to's for meeting famous people: 1. "Hey! Appreciate all the work you do! Keep on it!" 2. Ask if they're cool with a pic. 3. Start taking pictures of their feet.

was actually such a good episode of Mogul Money!

I absolutely loved Mogul Money! Can’t wait to see you grow on RU-vid!

When meeting Ludwig just say: Nice dumpy Lud and stare at him indefinitely. 100% success strat

I don't think i'd want to take a picture with a famous person if i met them. like pewdiepie said, i think the whole picture process is just too much for me

Sadge he doesn’t like taking pictures with Connor

Funny enough, I learned that I did go to the same high school as you, just a few years apart. Only ever found out when in my senior year, someone was watching you in class, and the teacher recognized you

5:45 before selfies, it was autographs/signatures

I remember meeting my favorite electronic artist, Spoonbill back in 2019. I was super nervous and asked him for a picture, and he was so cool about it. I was chilling outside the venue early because I had hitchhiked out there and was just siting with my bags, and we ended up talking, and eventually he invited me in early for a drink, which turned into dinner before the show. Even got a free ticket and signed poster, went to the afterparty. To date one of the coolest experiences I've ever had, and now whenever I go to one of his shows, I see him and we chat. Really cool time, and he's an awesome dude. I would imagine stuff like that doesn't happen with bigger celebrities though.

You should check out pewdiepie’s video where he buys anything his dog touches, he runs into a fan who asks for a picture and he handles the situation so well

Before the selfie with a celeb is was a signature on a piece of paper or a book, or if they have a polaroid camera they sign the just selfie picture. But basically just signatures. (From someone who is still only 32)

Prior to pictures, I feel like autographs were huge. Maybe that's just a sports thing or just something they do in movies, but either way I think people always wanted to have something to show from the encounter

This man said Justin Long, I couldn't think of a more random example even if I tried. Respect tho.

That was a really good video! I can't decide if I liked the part where you outlined what to do if you meet a famous person you look up to, or the part where Jerma jumped through his doll house window and started brake dancing... (Jerma is definitely my favorite creator you collab with)

This was so cool. I love hearing about this sort of stuff from a famous perspective since of course I’d never experience or be able to relate to that stuff.

Whoever edited this, you did a great job

5:30 Before cameras there were autographs. I'm sure many people felt the same way about those too. I remember on the yard you said something like "once they take a picture with me, the interaction is over and they kind of just leave." I think they probably needed something to serve the same function in the 80s so autographs filled that slot for a long time. Just sign something and call it good. Nowadays that's a picture but same idea really. I bet people back then also were frustrated signing autographs thinking "I'm not a printer" or whatever.

Being a massive overthinker, i have prepared questions about my fave content creators projects or something theyve been really passionate about, or just telling them quickly i love what they do and theyre awesome. Keep it short n sweet from what ive learned.

This channel is so fantastic. Mail Monday from WoodysGamertag helped me a lot when I was a kid growing up and these videos give off the exact same vibe just without the COD footage in the background. I know Lud's mentioned he watched those too and I think it's cool to see it have even a small influence on the content he makes. Who knows, I might be reading into it way too much but that's just where my brain went.

Man! Kole's editing is really perfect for this channel!!!

Thanks for being so genuine and respectful

Actual good advice on interactions, thanks Ludwig and welcome to RU-vid!

That outro was sick! Definitely fits the channel vibe. Can't wait to keep seeing awesome content like this!

8:35 this is probably my favorite clip of the paul brothers, it was a weird situation, but he gave amazing advice, also, interesting insight btw.

There's a difference between meeting them in public randomly versus going to an event where they were a staple item and then saying no leads to maybe a miffed interaction.

I work in customer service. My main focus is making sure I have a good experience and that the customer has a good experience. This is so important for more than just business, it goes to pleasure, fun and creative moments and just life in general. It is very important, as you said in speaking about Wolf Puck, that we need to have boundaries for what we want out of an experience. Some people do not have boundaries set for their own interactions with others, and then some are meticulous when it comes to their interactions with anything or anyone. Life is all about experiences, know what you want out of whatever you going into or just enjoy what happens. If you don't or can't, it is totally okay to feel regret or bad about an experience you could not enjoy or were not able to. Good vid Ludwig

Props to kole, I didn't expect Jerma to arrive like that at the end

Man I love these vids so much, ludwig really has a skill of making anything he talks about entertaining

Bro the editing on this vid is actually sick. Love the content

I dream of meeting Ludwig irl purely so I can exclaim "OMG QT Cinderella's boyfriend!!"

I've never seen someone I look up to in public, but if I did, the reason I would take a picture is because I would not want to disrupt whatever they are doing, otherwise Id love to just have a chat with them. With a photo, it's quick, hopefully doesn't take too much time from them, and it lasts forever and you can revisit it.

Great edit on this one Kole!

Really liking these mogul mail vids lud!

yooo just discovered this channel and he uploads soon as I watch all the vids, good vibes

Back when I was younger before cell phones I used to carry around a snap camera in the hopes of meeting someone famous or just getting their autograph would have been nice. I've met a few celebs and just because I rarely ever take photo's I never asked for one. Just getting to meet them and talk/say hi was cool enough.

Man Ludwig is the fkn greatest lmao. Young man with a clear head, and wise mind. He is correct

So cool to hear, had the same experience at spago he’s always there and super nice

God I love Kole’s edits

The jerma outro goes CRAZY shoutout the editors honestly

I just think a good amount of content creators just want fans to treat them as a normal person. You can enjoy them but freaking out will just make them feel awkward. There's also times that a content creator will just get worn out or tired, which can then lead to them being annoyed. But I'll agree with Lud, really depends on the person.

This is very well edited

I had the exact scenario described where i saw a fairly famous person in a public park and i sorta had a double take then stared at them, cos theres something about them you recognise but you don't know what and by the time you realise who it is you've been creepily staring at them for way too long. Just sorta gave them a greeting and awkwardly left cos i felt bad about it cos i realised that i i were them i'd be creeped out af.

I like how Ludwig talked about "doing all the work for him" and showing the Logan Paul clip when there's been a guy posting thumbnails to the subreddit every day until he gets hired as Lud's thumbnail guy 😅

Now every time you're in public, looking down at your phone, and you hear "yo, sup man", you're gonna have a little amogus moment of if that greeting was directed at you or not.

the editing on this video was awsome!

my best celeb meeting was Rob Weitof. he was genuinely happy to meet his fans. but yeah usually when I meet celebs I act calm and talk about how I enjoy their content.

Loved the stream today! Bit sad Mogul Money is over but I can't wait to see what your next project is ❤️

Classic Wolfgang vs Ludwig moment, seen for over hundreds of years.

*_"Y-Yo, What's up man?"_* I bet he's 100% gonna forget that.

Please never change your outro it's too perfect

Love how all the climbing pictures are from a sport climbing wall even though Ludwig is a boulderer.

I’d be more excited meeting you than I was meeting “real” famous people if I’m being completely honest

Not the crossover I was expecting but I love it

This channel is amazing! Keep it up lud love the change!!!

IMO, The funniest part about this Mogul Mail is the fact that it was filmed right before he got drunk at the Arcane Event

I once met Romain Grosjean (ex formula 1 driver) in Central Park, he was walking with his wife and children. Although I wanted to talk with him sometimes it's just better to be brief with celebrities because it's their time too and they wanna enjoy it. So asking for pictures is usually the best to go when you meet someone in the street.

Autographs vs picture vs handshake

“Yo, what’s up man” lol

So never ask Lud for a pic, and he'll never leave you. Got it

5:23 The answer is people would ask for an autograph. The selfie has replaced the autograph as proof that "I met this person"

From now on only true Ludbuds will say yo what’s up man to Ludwig

I love that the outro is jerma

before photos people would ask for autographs

i swear to christ man that creeper noise scared the hell out of me i alt tabbed thinking i had minecraft open

Only the real ones know "You're looking skinnier and sexier. By God, you look like a whole ass snack, straight up bussin. 'For real?' On God, on a stack, no cap." But this code works too I suppose

Yo Lud you’re looking skinnier, on god, on a stack, no cap Edit: nvm now it’s “y-yo sup man”

@0:38 lol I've done this to Tweek and Cosmos. They were in town for a tourney and I genuinely wasn't sure where I recognized them from. I just walked away and then it hit me like 30 mins later

loving these uploads

Nah before pictures it was autographs, humans always been like that

Good streamer good stream!

Good to know to not ask for photos with people. I met michael stevens once and that man was a pro and made me feel important and like I was the most interesting person he has met. Little did I know I was interrupting some of the small time he had to spend with his family while on tour. Its a long story but I spotted him outside of a theatre many hours before his live show. I didn't really approach him I kinda walked near him and, what I found out later was, his family. Talked for a few minutes gave him a gift he gave me one in return and walked away super stoked. He actually retweeted the photo of us together. Seriously one of the nicest people I have ever met.

This format is cool

I think it would be rude to ask for anything of someone you recognize as being 'famous' when they aren't specifically looking for it. Unless you know the influencer likes fan interactions, then you shouldn't interact with them if they are doing their own thing.

Last

Celebrities before photos would ask for a lot of random signatures

Editing went hard on this.

I knew from the very first second of this video that it was Kole he is the best editor lud has wish he edited more often

Lol Danny & Lud are the only creators I watch on a regular basis

more jerma in the outros please that was fire

I love the Jerma edit at the end lol

Wolfgang and Ludwig. This is classical music at its finest

lmao the Framingham, MA Game Underground “When’s Melee” banner makes another glorious return

selfies are the new autographs

this outro is so sick, love it

I've met a couple of famous people I look up to (which is pretty easy when you live in LA) and maybe it's because I'm a lot older but I'd rather have a quick chat, let them know I enjoy their work, shake their hand (pre-Covid) and get going. I just have no need to take a picture and show them to anyone as proof.

"y-yo"🥺👉👈
