LIVING WITH THE HERMITS! | Imp And Skizz Podcast (Ep27) 

You should do an "Imp and Skizz after hours" where you talk about more adult subjects so Skizz can tell the story.

When Skiz is talking about Mumbo taking the time to write a personal message with every signature, he says well first of all that's why this line is so long, but that's true for two reasons. Yes it did take a long time per person but the reason so many people wanted to even be in the line is because of the kind of person Mumbo is. Just awesome.

it was Cub, Iskall, Mumbo, Tango, Impulse, and Scar on stage. X on call, Hypno, Joe, and Python in the crowd

I always thought Impulse was one of the nicest hermits but could be extremely scary if you messed with him or his friends, and I was right, the face he made when talking about the stage not being accessible for Scar he was very scary! (or I'm going crazy but I think you can see the ressentiment even years later) and I love it.

I remember this like it was yesterday because of Rendog. "Growing And Maintaining a Strong Server Community." What a topic. Skizz's live stream got picked up by many other Twitch streamers too. It was awesome! That live stream went everywhere. I was in Rendog's live stream when he cut away to it. He wanted to be there with you all so much. We were shocked. But it was Rendog's joy and pride of seeing his Hermits friends represent your group with honesty and professionalism that brought us all to tears. We were proud of your too. That video from your phone still floats on the internet today. I remember how astonished we at home we and the audience were to hear X's voice coming from that wonderful cardboard box. LOL. Following Joe around was hilarious but worth it. Cub, Iskall, Mumbo, Tango, Impulse, Scar, Xisuma. Python and Hypno were seated in the audience. Scar did speak about being lifted up to the stage. And how much he appreciated everyone's help getting him to the stage safely. Someone also filmed the meet and greet and I always wondered why that guy was sitting on wall signing autographs? I just figured there wasn't enough room at the tables you all were sitting at. And then there was the line. OMG. So many people came to see all of you. But we also know it was about Mumbo. LOL Someone filmed a little of your surroundings in the house. All I know is it was clear that all of you were having a wonderful time. And we here at home were honored that you thought of us to bring us along with you. Thank you for doing that Skizz. It will be forever appreciated.

I’d love Skizzleman as a hermit, or at least just a regular guest, just because I feel like he could be a great Everyman. Just sort of someone who could let viewers vicariously be on Hermitcraft. Just there to check out all the things others have made, hang out with friends, get up to shenanigans with others, and just generally have fun and just be there and add his own flare.

😂 impulse remembering Tango as Xisuma’s head animator, when he was the one who did it 😂 Ren’s restream hitched a few times, but he refreshed and it worked. X had to have been watching the stream, because he commented on someone moving his head😂.

Tango can be a guest on a future podcast! Also skizz should tell the cards against humanity story on a stream or in his own video

That mumbo story makes me cry every single time Just got to the tango part and I'm crying again. I've never hear this story, never knew tango was so unsure like that. Glad he had skizz in his life

Was Bdubs included in that 3'6" height average? I'm curious to know if his height increased the average or brought it down.

OMG - I loved my time in the house… I’ll never forget Cards Against Humanity

listening to skizz talk about how he was like "this will never happen again", and the sheer appreciation for the moment and people around him really hit home. i have a really flighty family; none of us can stay in one place too long. so when me, my mum and my aunt all ended up in my living room just relaxing, i felt nothing but pure joy and appreciation that all our different lives managed to entangle just for that night? it was perfect. i get that feeling to a T.

It seems so long ago that the only thing I knew about Skizz was that he was a friend of Impulse’s and also the Minecon 2016 hero for capturing the footage he did. It’s been over 3 years now that Skizz is one of my favourite content creators and I would definitely mess up on my words and probably speak super fast yet awkward if I were to meet him or any of the other hermits. Thank you both for telling stories from this Minecon! Skizz’s grocery shopping with Iskall was hilarious. xD And hearing about how Mumbo treated those kids lining up for autographs is the sweetest thing. I’ll have to go rewatch the panel because when I first watched it back in mid-season 6, I was a huge Iskall and Mumbo fan and they took most of my focus. I wasn’t even subbed to Impulse yet and definitely not Tango (as he was on hiatus). I think I subscribed to Impulse shortly before you built that match game towards the end of the season, and then to Tango when he came back from hiatus. This will be a podcast I’ll come for a another listen at some point, I’m sure.

Skizz talking about listening to people talk and laugh is SO my experience. I LARP, and if I go to bed early, I like crawling into bed and listening to people talk outside my tent. I literally never sleep better than those moments.

45:48 Skizzleman, here's some words of affirmation I realized about you while listening to this part. You're so incredibly insightful, you're always able to figure out exactly what people are wanting to hear - as demonstrated in this story here, and all those Words of Affirmation you're currently distributing on the Limited Life server! But not just that - you have both the charisma and sensitivity to deliver those insights in juuust the right way for each individual audience that you speak to. Energy, jokes, seriousness, somberness - no matter the tone, your way with words always shines, and leaves us all with a smile on our face at the end of the day. It's truly incredible and the world would be such a ridiculously better place if there were more people like you in it.

It is my firm belief that there is no better icebreaker type game than 'Cards Against Humanity'. You can learn so much about a person, not from the answers they give, but from how they react to other peoples answers.

Skizz seems like the type of guy that is very aware of a pivotal moment in life while it's occurring, no matter how minor. Like with Tango and the pants, and how that made him confident in you enough to be reassured when you have him the nod.

Why am I tearing up while listening to this podcast? You're telling happy stories, and I'm driving along, eyes filling up with emotions. (I'm not driving right now.)

I think at a smaller scale, I can relate to what Skizz is saying about Minecon changing him. I have what people would consider a "normal boring office job" but I also do theatre on the side. Every time I finish a show and have to go back to "normal work" I feel a little more lifeless inside like, I just had the time of my life doing something I love and now I have to stop doing that in order to make enough money to live

34:03 I remember this moment. I had tuned into Ren and was watching the panel through his stream. This was the same panel where Xisuma was a disembodied voice. 😁

How about starting a HermitCon? I think a Naked & Scared Con would go over well.

Damn Skizz, you're an incredible storyteller! Hearing you talk about the "Am I gonna put on my big boy pants?" moment has helped motivate me to keep working on my ideas: even if they're cringe and I fail, at some point I just have to just push through the fear to achieve my goals.

As a brit I once heard that "you dont go to Denny's you just end up there" would that be a correct statement?

I’m not sure the expectations over in the U.K, but here in the U.S, it’s fairly normal to continue living with your parents after highschool, so I’m just imagining Mumbo going up to his mom and being like “Mum, can I go to America for a Minecraft convention?” 🤣

Imp: "what was that card game?" Me: "please be Cards against humanity, i cant imagine the hermits playing that, theyre way too nice" Skizz: "i think it was Cards Against Humanity" Haha! no way!

I'm only a pinch of the way through, and I love this podcast so far. Very relaxing to play some Minecraft and build to, and caught myself smiling to a few of the stories so far. At 12:00, I can definetly relate to enjoying hearing people talk from the other room; there's something so beautiful about drifting as a ghost around loved ones conversations and laughter. very lovely, and very beautiful that all of our friends live under the same sky, in the same time. Now, back to listening and to building my stuff :)

Lol - "Its like the biscuits came from biscuits land" - classic Skizz

I would love to have skizz be a hermit next season

Skizz, the way you felt post-Minecon is something I so deeply identify with. It was really humanizing to hear that - a reminder of that shared thread - and the way a beautiful gift of what might be called a new understanding of how we impact others and sustain ourselves (financially, yes, and more) and exercise our passion). I haven’t been as successful at holding the line for those things that became relatively meaningless, though mine are more flexible than a married corporate man with kids. I suppose my message is simply camaraderie and appreciation for the way you share yourself with a full heart. I think I’ve learned from you lately, without consciously meaning to, and it’s been a positive influence on my mind and my creative passions

So, about this story you can't tell because it's not PG...you know everyone is going to be bugging you about that forever now, right? 😅 Also, Skizz is all "I guess everyone will know YOU weren't the butt of this one now..." we already knew, Skizz. If it had been Impulse everyone was laughing at, there's no way you wouldn't have made that fact the OPENER for that story. Loved this one, so many good stories.

18:00 I once met the David Draiman( lead singer to Disturbed ) and got so nervous I shook the mans hand with the wrong hand. Instant face palm🤦🏻‍♀️

I understand about tall people eating. My now 18yo son is 6ft 8ish and can eat so much, is like he was always empty. He's been over 6ft since he was 13.

The part where you guys talk about the insignificance of the corporate world hits home for me. I didn't know better then slamming those deadlines and target points my whole life. Untill I had and accident when I was 37 ys old and was forced to be laying in bed for almost a year, wrapped up in casts that didn't allow me to move around. Very soon I discovered I had no real friends or hobbies or knew anything to do really. I have been a perfect slave to the system for way too long. When I was recovered the company I used to work for had moved abroad and somehow I ended up working a volunteering job, something completely different. It is 5 years later now and I am still doing this. I don't want to go back to what I have been doing. I have a lot less money to spend, but I gained a network of likeminded people and I feel much better.

hearing skizz admit to never thinking about stage accessibility really hurt my heart... but at least now you're aware of the ableism in that job field. If you ever have an opportunity in the future, I'm sure you'll be better. /gen

I nearly spit water all over my truck when Skizz explained why he was happy about his +1 situation 😂

Your story about going grocery shopping brought back memories of my own times at cons and hitting the grocery store so we didn't have to eat out all the time, and all the goofy times I've had w/ my own friends. This was such a fun episode to listen to :)

I really appreciate telling these stories, it made me smile imagining the feelings Skizz was describing the “cosmos” moments

I'm so with Skizz on just being around people having fun without being directly involved, at 11:40 or so. It's just a nice warm feeling when people are having a good time and you're kindof enveloped in that feeling.

Another outstanding video. :) I laughed and smiled the entire time. Talking about Mumbo's interactions actually got me choked up. He has always come across as genuine and having a good heart but imagining him actually taking a knee and spending time with each child fills my heart to overflowing. Young people get slapped with such a negative stereotype all too often and here is this young man who broke that image with his sincerity and thoughtfulness. Now, if you will excuse me, I feel compelled to go make some biscuits and gravy for supper. :) Love your faces. :)

Cub was the last panel member. That's when all the hermits learned Cub wasn't an old, bald man.

hearing you guys fan out for the other hermits just makes my heart swell. its amazing to have a community where ya'll really build each other up. You are all fans of each other and its just so adorable and inspiring to hear. I bet the hermits you mentioned will listen to this and feel really good.

This video taught me about 30 life lessons in the span of an hour. You guys are such big role models for me. As skizz said, I’m in ya‘lls corner whether you know it or not. ❤

Technical thing here; There is a really high frequency resonating in your audio. I'm not sure if it is the mics, or the room tone. A little bit of EQ should take care of it once you find the frequency. Honestly, its probably not noticable for most people, I'm an audio engineer which is the only reason I noticed. Other than that, what a fantastic podcast! I love hearing these types of fun stories. Keep up the great work!

Come to Australia and i'll drag my 40 y/o ass to get an autograph and a hug from you guys... oh and my kids too

35:40 This is gonna make you even sadder but this is just another day in the life when you live with a disability. Even if you call ahead 10 times and let 10 different people know, even if you have on paper exactly what you need and that they are gonna get it. And it doesn't only happen at conventions, it happens everywhere. Restaurants, hospitals, hotels, vaccination posts, taxis, public transport. Everyone makes it so difficult on people with disabilities.

Awww man this made me want to go to a convention. I have cancer and am pretty immune compromised so I guess convention going is out for me. So many things in life I wish I did before I couldn’t. Gain experiences, not things.

50:46 The way you’re describing this steak reminds me of one I had on holiday to Barcelona with my family when I was a teenager. We had been out for so long and our legs were tired and we were hungry and we basically just came out of the train station and went into the restaurant 15 metres from it. And the steak my mum and I had was like this. Brilliant. We both still remember the taste to this day many years later. It might have only been so good because of how tired and hungry we were. But it was brilliant.

Hearing you guys reminiscence about minecon and all the stories you have is so nice and wholesome, especially hearing about how mumbo treated his fans. I wish that either I was watching hermitcraft back then or that minecon comes back cause meeting you guys in person just sounds like such an awesome experience

Wow, this is my first episode of the series (thanks YT) and I had no idea Skizz was this instrumental to Hermitcraft history! I never really watched his stuff just because he hasn't interacted much with the hermits i watch, but that is about to change.

There's a game kinda like Cards Against Humanity called Codenames, it's a lot less offensive and more family friendly. Look it up, if you can get some of the Friday crew together. I've only seen 6 player games (3 on each team) but maybe more can play

the hermitcraft panel was apparently cub, iskall, mumbo, tango, impulse, and scar, (also x as a voice/head) according to the upload/stream of it!

Such a fitting conversation. A bunch of your patrons are planning an iSV meetup this summer at Disneyland! We can't have a convention so we'll make our own meetup. Most of your mods will be there and a bunch of others as well. You've really created an amazing community that I'm proud to be part of it.

Please keep doing these videos. They are an absolute hit.

Decided to search for the YT panel for 2016 Minecon. You might recognize the person in the thumbnail for the official video posted by Minecraft. Wish I could post pics here.

Love this episode.. bonding and fun… what a trip

I’m so glad I finally got round to giving your podcast a go. I’ve just listened to this and didn’t even realise an hour had passed, you both have such a wonderful rapport and way of bouncing off each other!

Great stories! Poor Tango, you’re a good friend Skizz for helping him x

this was such a feel good video, i love it! thank you guys for this podcast

These podcasts are getting better and better! Thank you I love them.

This has become my favorite Podcast to listen to while at work, thank you guys !

I enjoyed this episode so much! Y’all are wonderful storytellers.

Thanks for helping me experience some second hand happy memories in this episode : )

27:47 was that another "Master bat" moment? Because I still remember that moment from ZITS stream years ago :D

I’m so happy I clicked this! You two are such a delight to listen to. 😊

SUCH fond memories of my work conventions with friends and grocery shopping together! Absolutely the best! LOVED this episode~

I have been waiting all day for this, again, as always, the highlight of my week is zenning out at the end of it with the Imp and Skizz podcast. Thank you guys 🤩🤩🤩

“My job is to be better than whoever is next to me”. Man I resonate with that so hard. Great episode!

I just became fan of hermitcraft last year and this podcast melt my heart with wholesomeness

I knew this was going to be awesome because, well, it’s you guys, so of course it’ll be awesome! But I never thought it would be just as insightful and needling (in a motivating way) as your other podcasts. Oh my GOSH, y’all. THANK YOU for this!

I was having a pretty stressful day so I decided to listen to a lot of the old Imp and Skizz podcast episodes and it made everything easier. I don't want to go into the specifics of it but usually when I'm under that much stress I have an anxiety attack or I completely shut down but I was actually able to stay focused in my work and (barley) finished on time. Thanks so much for the joy you spread in my life, can't wait for the future episodes.

It's been a really rough few days with a storm so bad that it has a name, our apartment flooding, family getting at each other's throats and such. Having a lighthearted and funny podcast to listen to is just what I needed to shut down and tune out the bad things in my life. Makes me hopeful for the future and keeps me focused on what's important. Thank you for all that you 2 do. Whether it's the podcast, a minecraft series or JITS/ZITS streams, you always make me smile and feel better.

These are all TOO WHOLESOME

It sounds like a dream within a surreal reality, but I'm glad you got to experience it that way!

OMG! I just learned this podcast exists and im so grateful.

I thoroughly enjoyed y'alls conversations about the 2016 minecraft conventions. My sister and I went to the Orlando one in 2013. We also attended the minecrack meetup. Y'all brought it all back to me. Thanks!

Listening Skizz kinda contemplating about "its once in a lifetime moment", i really can relate to that

That was a fun episode to watch !!!!

This was such a wholesome podcast, you and your friendships are amazing and endearing to hear about. I am incredibly curious about that one story though 😂 But my heart feels full after listening to this

It’s funny, I was out today and realized I kept thinking what do I do if I run int Skizz today! I was nervous lol. Hope you enjoyed your trip to the Holy City.

I have heard Dadcraft talk about this trip before in his streams, it was fun hearing your side of the story

I may be the odd man out, but I discovered Hermitcraft through Tango as I was learning Redstone. After Watching sone Hermitcraft and learning about a storage system, i found Impulse. You two were my first hermits I watched. I then found mumbo, and then looked into the combined Imp and Skizz channel. I appreciate everything y’all do.

Just watched the legacy podcast and want u guys to know u inspired me to go for student council prez next year :)

Skizz, I once said that this life was Impulse's legacy. To you, I say this is your DESTINY: a state or end that seemingly has been decided beforehand. It was foretold. Your preordination. In ever increasing, concentric, sinusoidal arcs and circlets, you are on a chaotic, many branching, and yet inexorable journey towards making people laugh and brightening the lives of others. (whisper: it's both already happened and in the constant process of happening. You're influence is fractal my dude. You are a beauty.)

Cards against humanity is such a good game if you're with a good group and the random out of no where's. Amazing moments, they will stay with you. Got one myself when playing with family on new years a few years back, the inability to not laugh while reciting the card combinations is gold. Good memory.

This was a really good one good work.

After watching multiple podcasts I've come to realize that Skizz is like such a genuine great person.

podcast about hermits!!! oh yeah!

Don't worry guys if I still lived down there I would recognize you guys. I had a blast at the meet and greet with you all and Tango and Zed years ago.

can tango be first guest on pod cast? PLEASE

Another awesome episode. I always come away from each episode with at least one pearl of wisdom from both of you. I started watching Hermitcraft in the middle of season 6 and this was a great glimpse of the real life of the Hermits. I vote for Skizz for the event coordination for the next in person Minecon.

I always loved talking streams and behind the scenes uncut stuff. And I always wanted a Hermits and Friends podcast, just people having fun and being humans. This might sound weird, but this episode just remindes me of hanging out with friends and random people I met on that day and therefore makes me incredibly happy. So, thank you for that, I would love to hear of it.

I knew this would be funny, I've watched enough of your guy's stuff to expect that from you both. I knew this would be entertaining and enjoyable and really easy to listen to for the same reason. I was not prepared for the really wholesome masculine emotional maturity you guys put out there in this podcast. It's so genuine and honest and comfortably vulnerable the way you share yourselves to each other and your audience in these episodes. It's absolutely beautiful to watch and I am so grateful that my minecraft-loving sons have you guys as role models.

You know when your talking about Minecon it makes me stop and think. Makes me wish I was there. Just when I get a heart on a comment or a comment by you guys makes me feel amazing. If I would ever meet impulse skizz or goodtimeswithscar. You guys are my idols. Thanks for the wonderful podcast!

This was the best episode so far. Great job!

Probably my favourite episode🙏

this is the best episode

Well that was priceless best episode yet

So good. I went and watched Rendog stream the stream and that was great too.

It is ten past one in the morning and I'm sitting here listening to Skizz have a foodgasm about steak. Dang it now I'm hungry. Thanks guys.

Anaheim MineCon was the first time I met DC and some of my own server mates IRL. Was a good time and some great memories!
